    Ear Acupressure

    EarSpa offers a specific form of Auriculotherapy known as Ear Acupressure. Pressure points on the external ear are stimulated using Ear Seeds. Ear Seeds are tiny seeds, beads, or pellets held in place on the surface of the ear with medical adhesive tape. Traditional Ear Seeds are small black seeds from the Vaccaria plant. For beginners, Dr. Srour typically will recommend mild acupressure using gold or stainless-steel Ear Seeds. Trendier Ear Seeds are also available such as, Swarovski Crystal or Pearl Ear Seeds. Ear Seeds are applied after cleaning the external ear with alcohol wipes. Ear Seeds are safe and effective, and placement usually only takes a few minutes. The Ear Seeds will apply pressure on their own throughout the day directly activating the ear acupressure points. In addition, they can be pressed gently by one finger, or squeezed between two fingers, to increase their effect multiple times per day or when symptoms are present.

  • Auriculodiagnosis

    The practice of visually examining the external ear and palpating with an ear probe for diagnostic indicators. Diagnostic indicators may be discoloration, lines, grooves, swelling, papules, or nodules which may be associated with specific clinical conditions. Diagnostic indicators may also be distinguished as an acute or chronic issue elsewhere on the body. In some cases via auriculardiagnosis, the practitioner may visualize a diagnostic indicator and recommend that the client be seen by a medical specialist for a check up.

  • Auriculomassage

    Massaging the external ear whether on yourself or others is a wonderful way to destress while stimulating the entire body. Massaging each part of the external ear nourishes the entire body because every part of the body and every body system is targeted.

What is Auriculotherapy (Ear Acupressure)?

Auriculotherapy is a form of therapy that focuses exclusively on the Ears. The Ear is covered in a network of nerve endings that communicate directly with the Brain and is considered a Somatotopic system. A Somatotopic system is a point-for-point correspondence on the Ear to a specific point on the central nervous system. The way the body is reflected in the ear is like an upside down fetus, a discovery made by the Father of Auriculotherapy himself, Dr. Paul Nogier. With Auriculotherapy, you can create changes in your body by simply stimulating pressure points on the Ear.
