Auriculotherapy Treatment
Auriculotherapy is one of the most recognized natural therapies within Traditional Chinese Medicine. It consists of stimulating specific points on the ear with the aim of treating or preventing various physical and emotional ailments that affect the body.
This is a variant of acupuncture, which works on reflex points located on the surface of the auricle.
To do this, the acupuncturist uses very fine needles or other instruments, following the principles of Taoist philosophy, which seek to restore the body’s energy balance.
A characteristic aspect of auriculotherapy is the idea that the ear reflects the silhouette of an inverted fetus (with its head facing downwards).
In this way, each area of the ear is related to a specific part of the body, allowing for a direct correspondence to be established between the points on the ear and the individual’s health.
What are the advantages of auriculotherapy compared to a more conventional treatment?
Auriculotherapy can offer numerous benefits, although it should not be considered a miracle cure. As with acupuncture, its value lies in being a complementary and natural practice that helps improve a person’s overall well-being and alleviate various health problems.
Complementary practice for different ailments and imbalances of the body.
Support in the prevention of digestive, circulatory and functional problems.
Regulation of the nervous system, promoting calm and emotional balance.
Effectiveness in controlling anxiety, insomnia, and addictive habits.
Absence or minimal side effects or associated damage.
What is an auriculotherapy session like at Kan and Li?
Each session begins with a personal interview, in which the specialist will analyze your case in detail: sleep quality, daily habits, digestive activity, breathing, and your overall energy level, etc.
Following this initial assessment, the session is prepared, which includes a prior body acupuncture treatment. To enhance its effects, we then proceed with auriculotherapy.
During the therapy, different points on the ear are stimulated using very fine needles, seeds, or special auriculotherapy tacks, always in a personalized manner.
Our center’s philosophy is clear: “We go as far as you want to go.”
During an auriculotherapy session, it’s normal to feel minor, temporary discomfort, but what’s typical is experiencing a profound sense of calm and relaxation.
This is due to the stimulation of reflex points in the ear, which promote the body’s harmony.
Auriculotherapy is a 100% safe and non-invasive procedure, tailored to each individual, that helps restore physical and emotional balance without associated risks.
