Auricular acupuncture also known as ear acupuncture, involves stimulating specific points on the ear. The ear is considered a microcosm of the entire body, meaning each part of the body, including internal organs, can be treated through points on the ear. For instance, the head is represented on the lower part of the ear, while the feet are located at the top. Here is a diagram to give you a better idea.
In my practice of 17 years, incorporating ear points into acupuncture treatments has proven to be incredibly relaxing and powerful for my patients. If you’re interested in learning more about acupuncture at my practice at GBMC hospital in the Towson or Baltimore, MD area call 443-982-6159 for a complimentary consultation.
