What is auriculotherapy?

If you haven’t tried auriculotherapy, you may have seen someone who had their ears seeded. While it may sound like some crazy alternative to supporting the body, know that this technique is old. It is about using seeds or gold/silver beads to stimulate energy points on the ears that are connected to the brain and through the nervous system throughout the body. Looking at the ear, we see it’s like a fetus in the womb, upside down. There’s more than 200 points on the ear. It is a method that is both “diagnostic” (for the purposes of the auriculotherapy practitioner) and “therapeutic. You’ve probably noticed that certain lines, red or white staining, black pores, white scales, white scales, white scalions and recesses are visible on your ear… Besides, the shape of the ear tells what character a person is. Either she’s timid or determined, or she’s quick to get angry…

How it works?

Auriculotherapy is similar to acupuncture because it works on the principle of pressure, but there are no meridians on the ears, but energy points. Pressing earseeds to specific points on the ears stimulates organs or functions to “switch on” the energy control system. Therapy is holistic. For example, by stimulating the point of the liver, we regulate all the functions that the liver has, and not just the specific one we want to help for at the moment. It works phisical and emotional.

The seed, which is most commonly used in auriculotherapy, comes from the plant for Saponaria offiinalis (Vaccaria). It is growing in China and some areas of Europe. The seme of this plant has a long history of use in Chinese Traditional Medicine. For centuries, it was used to treat diseases associated with meridian liver and stomach, as it stimulated blood circulation and helped to promote lactation in breastfeeding. During the development of medicinal practices, doctors and acupunctureists began to use the substance to treat other parts of the body.

Seed is not the only thing used in auriculotherapy. Metal (gold/silver) beads or crystals may also be used. Metal pellets are usually smaller and have a translucent tape to make them less visible. Those who are made with crystals are suitable for all (usually women) who want therapy a little embellished to become an jewlery.

Is auriculotherapy painful?

If there is a problem in the body, auriculotherapy is slightly more painful, as the area on the ear is sensitive (even if you press your fingers). With repeated therapies, the condition in the body improves and auriculotherapy also becomes less painful.

How often do we perform auriccotherapy?

Auriculotherapy is performed once a week. How many therapies it takes depends on the person to the person, on how much vital energy, toxins in the body, how long the problem has been going on. It is often the case that people experience positive effects soon or within a few days. In some, auriculotherapy should be repeated approximately 5-7 times or until improvement, once a week.

Are there any possible side effects?

Side effects are rare. A possible reaction may occur with the use of classic vaccaria seeds because they are glued to a tape containing latex. When other metal beads are used, there may be a reaction to gold or silver if the person is allergic to them. Few people feel a slight pressure in their head or a fertilisation of a particular point.

Why try auriccotherapy?
