Auricular Reflexology works through the stimulation of the external part of the ear with the same way as traditional foot and hand reflexology: that the whole body is mirrored on the
ear. Stimulation to a specific point on the ear that corresponds to a specific point in the body,
will bring balance to that area either through an increase or decrease of energy. The ear is supplied by numerous nerves and it is believed that Auricular Reflexology also works by directly stimulating the central nervous system.
There are over 200 acu-points on the ear which are used in Chinese Acupuncture. In Auricular Reflexology we use a selection of these and instead of using needles, we stimulate the points using finger and thumb pressure, applying ear seeds where necessary.
Just like the feet, the ears are a microsystem of the entire body. Organs, glands & systems
of the body are mapped out on the ears. Ear reflexology has powerful benefits & can have
rapid results due to the close proximity to the brain. Ear reflexology may be helpful for the
relief of symptoms in conditions such as headaches/migraines, sinus issues, tinnitus, neck,
back & shoulder tension, allergies, inflammation, stress & anxiety, insomnia, pain relief plus
much more. When combined with a foot reflexology treatment, it further enhances the treatment to give more rapid results.
