Auricular Therapy/Ear Reflexology

Ear Reflexology can be combined with Foot Reflexology, Reiki treatments or as a stand alone massage treatment.

It can support many conditions including pain control and addictions of all kinds. It has also been clinically proven to help with stress and anxiety, depression, allergies, PMS, vision problems, clearing infections, lowering blood pressure and balancing hormones and so much more.   

The World Health Organisation defined 91 auricular points, including: the master points (10 ear points), the functional I and II points (24 ear points), the digestive points (7 ear points), the endocrine glands & brain nuclei points (7 ear points), the head + skull and sensory points (12 ear points), the toracic points (7 ear points), and the abdominal & urogenital points (23 points).

Detection of specific ear reflex points can be determined by monitoring tenderness to applied pressure points, lowered skin resistance, or by the physical observation of small regions of skin discoloration or skin protrusions. 

During a treatment tender points will be located either during a massaging of the ears or with a probe which helps detect the exact location and an Ear Seed will be applied to the point that is tender.

Ear Seeds are traditionally small seeds from the Vaccaria plant, but they can also be made from different types of metal or ceramic. Vaccaria Ear Seeds are held in place over auricular points by a small piece of adhesive tape, or plaster. Applying these small Ear Seeds between treatments, the client is able to massage the auricular points between treatments. 

Ear Seeds may be left in place for up to a 1 or 2 weeks
