Holistic Treatment - Acupuncture Points In The Ear

Holistic Treatment - Points In The Ear
By Peter Wellington

Quite amazingly the whole body and can be treated by applying
pressure to points in the ear.

The basis for this strange notion is the concept of the
inverted foetus, and idea developed by Dr. Nogier about the
acupuncture map of the ear.  Due to the development of his
thoughts and studies auricular made its debut.

Ameliorates The Pain And Illness

Quite simply points in the ear are shown to be able
to reduce pain throughout the body by a reticular formulation
through the parasympathetic nervous system.

Chinese has long been used as the treatment for
various conditions and diseases such as addiction, psychological
disorders such as depression, pain control, obesity and a wide
range of other chronic conditions.

Ear acupuncture, also known as auricular acupuncture, relies on
the traditional approach to Chinese acupuncture.  The ideas and
principles behind the use of points in the ear
stretches way back in time yet the ideas are extremely
applicable to modern acupuncture.

When an acupuncturist inserts needles into points
in the ear endorphins are released throughout the body.  These
chemicals and hormones produce a feel good factor and a sense of
well being to the patient.  Basically auricular is
extremely good for treating certain conditions.

There are approximately just over 200 points in the
ear and each of these points has its own name.  And expert
acupuncturist will know all of these points.  The locations of
these points will be well known to him.  These acupuncture
points in the ear are all related to different parts of the
body.

When needles inserted into

these points a
electrical impulses begin their passage towards the brain and
then on to the relevant area of the patient's body.  In this
sense you can see that the ear operates something like a
telephone switchboard.  You stimulate one point in the ear and
quite amazingly another part of the body is also stimulated.

So you needn't be surprised when you visit your acupuncturist
complaining about pain in the ankle that he begins to insert
acupuncture needles into points in the ear.  You
will be pleasantly surprised when the pain in the ankle begins
to subside even though that area has not been directly treated.

Surprisingly the ear lobe itself has its own particular set of
acupuncture points that are stimulated in order to treat parts
of the head, strode, tonsils, sinuses, throat and many other
parts of the anatomy.  Then concha of the ear is also used to
treat major organs throughout the body in particular: lungs,
heart, liver and other organs.

It is well known by the professionals and experts that the ear
and the associated points in the ear are perhaps the
most potent points in the body.  In fact it is
estimated that the chances of success are as high as 95% for
successful treatment.  In this means that points in
the ear are most worthy of mention.
