Did You Know The ear is a microsystem of the entire body?
It’s true. In my practice I utilize these points to treat the entire body. Auriculotherapy is the practice of stimulating these Ear Points. There are a couple methods that I use both in office and online.
Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS)
MPS applies brief, concentrated DC microcurrent impulses at specific frequencies to specific treatment points to relax muscles, calm the nervous system and release endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers in the body. MPS therapy is extremely effective for treating many chronic and acute soft-tissue pain conditions as well as mental and emotional challenges.
Ear Seeds
Ear Seeds are a non-invasive, safe and effective tool used to stimulate nerve endings / pressure points in this microsystem. Ear Seeds consist of tiny seeds, beads or pellets that stick to the surface of your ear with tape.
Once you know where they go, you simply peel, place, and press.
Already have Ear Seeds at home? I’d love to help you figure out where to put them! Contact my office to get the booking link!
Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS)
VNS utilizes a low level electrical current (DC) to stimulate the Vagus Nerve.
It is estimated that the vagus nerve is responsible for about 80% of our Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) and helps us move from “Fight or Flight” to “Rest & Digest”.
VNS has been shown to help with many conditions including:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Insomnia
- Sleep Apnea
- Higher blood pressure
- Digestive Issues
- Brain Fog
Studies from Canada have also shown it to be helpful in the management of Long COVID symptoms.
There are so many other fantastic applications for these modalities! Feel free to get ahold of me to learn more.
