How it Works:
Auricular stimulation is based on the concept that different areas of the ear correspond to different areas of the body. Gentle stimulation of these points may be incorporated into a personalized wellness session.
Acupressure
Manual pressure is applied to points on the ear.
Ear Seeds
Small seeds or beads are applied with adhesive tape to stimulate the ear points continuously over several days.
Acupuncture
Thin needles may be placed at specific points on the ear as part of an auricular acupuncture session.
Electrostimulation
Gentle electrical pulses may be applied to enhance stimulation.
