Auricular Ear Acupuncture: Mapping Microsystems and Treatment Points
Did you know that ear acupuncture (or auricular acupuncture) is a very powerful way of treating the whole body?
The ear is a microsystem that can be mapped over an inverted fetus. In a recent study at the University of Paris, it was demonstrated by functional MRI that ear reflex zones (based on the fetus map) are directly connected to the brain areas corresponding to the actual zones on the body.
What does this mean?
Needling the ear point (or auricular point) for the right thumb, reached exactly the same brain area, as did direct stimulation of the right thumb itself!!! Let this sink in!
You may experience these points in your treatment at Rocky Coast as they’re often used to supplement whole body acupuncture, and occasionally we send folks home with ear seeds on relevant points to reinforce the treatment.
