Ear Acupuncture :
Ear acupuncture is the stimulation of acupuncture points on the external ear surface for the diagnosis and treatment of health conditions in other areas of the body.
The ears have the highest concentration of acupuncture points (around 2000) on the whole body. Points on the ear correspond to the entire physiological system. Therefore the whole body can be treated with Ear Acupuncture. The beauty of Ear Acupuncture lies in its simplicity, allowing the therapist to give deep, effective, individual or group treatments.
Auricular acupuncture is especially effective for treating addictions and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A special needle protocol called 5 NP (five point ear acupuncture protocol) is used to help with detoxification of substance abuse and gives support with the emotional, physical, and psychological aspects of addictions and severe stress. Ear needles can be quickly and easily applied in emergency situations and are used widely to treat victims of natural disasters, etc.
