Auricular Reflexology is reflexology on the ears using hand techniques, probes and ear seeds. There are records throughout history where ears have been worked on for health and wellbeing; in China dating back to 770 BC and in Egypt needling of the ears was mentioned in the Papyrus Ebers 1550BC. In the west Auricular or Ear Reflexology has evolved from Ear Acupuncture and Auriculotherapy.

As with feet, face and hand reflexology we follow charts which reflect the reflex points corresponding to the parts of our anatomy and physiology. It is thought to be a safe, quick and effective treatment which may improve circulation, balance the body, help with pain relief, stimulate the nervous system and can be relaxing and energising.
The treatment can be given on its own or added to your regular treatment. |
| Ear Seeds: The ear seeds that I use are tiny seeds from the Vaccaria plant that are on hypo-allergenic plasters. These are applied to the ears on specific points (not close to the auditory canal) where you may require additional assistance after the treatment. They stay on for 4 days or longer but can removed at any time. This enables you to continue to stimulate the reflex and acupressure points between treatments by pressing the points where the Ear Seeds are placed 3 or 4 times a day. |  |
