Auricular Acupuncture/Earseeds
Microsystem acupuncture maintains that small anatomical parts, such as ears or hands, correspond to the organs and other areas of the body, with specific areas used to treat particular health issues. In traditional Chinese medicine, the ear is seen as a microsystem representing the entire body.
Auricular acupuncture focuses on ear points that may relieve a wide variety of conditions, including pain. Acupuncture points on the ear are stimulated with fine needles or/and with ear seeds.
Auricular acupuncture can support and enhance cosmetic acupuncture, as well as other treatments such as LED light therapy, or it can be a very powerful standalone treatment for general wellbeing.
What to expect
Your initial consultation will last about 30 minutes, where we will discuss your medical history and any issues or concerns, then a bespoke treatment plan will be created.
You may feel a small scratch or pin prick as the needles are inserted. Some patients might experience mild numbness, tingling or a sensation of warmth in the corresponding area being treated. These sensations are normal and are positive responses to the treatment. The needles can be left in for up to 20-30 minutes.
Your response to treatment will be re-assessed at each visit, and the acupuncture points will be adjusted accordingly. The number of sessions will depend on your individual response however most cases will need follow-up sessions to maximise the benefits.
