Auricular REflexology

Auricular therapy has its origins in ancient civilisations, in particular Traditional Chinese Medicine with acupuncture. The ears are worked as another micro-system, in the same way as reflexes are on the feet, hands or face.  It is thought to calm the central nervous system, assist in pain relief and generally encourage harmony in body, mind & spirit. 

I will not be using needles, however, but thumb and finger techniques or an ear probe to apply gentle pressure over points and areas on the ears to balance the body's energy.  The treatment ends with a scalp massage and placement of ear seeds (optional)

Ear seeds can be placed on relevant points of the ear for you to press for a few days so as to reinforce the healing process at home.  The seeds are from the Vaccaria plant, and come already placed on hypoallergenic plasters (see photo opposite).

Auricular Reflexology can be combined with face or foot reflexology.

As with all treatments, I will need to make an assessment from your health consultation to check whether it is suitable for you to receive.
