Auricular (ear) acupuncture

Auricular (ear) acupuncture

Auricular acupuncture is the treatment that needles are inserted at acupoints on the ear.  In ear, there are specific meridian points related to all internal organs as well as limbs, so tenderness can occur at the corresponding points in the ear when disorders occur in any part of the body.  Stimulating these sensitive areas on the ear therefore serves to prevent and treat diseases and injuries, weight loss, addiction problems, as well as other chronic problems.

For some chronic problems, Dr. Hua may suggest patient use ear seeds or ear tacks. She helps patients find the most sensitive ear spots for their problems, and then tapes a small seed for that area. The patient can stimulate the points by pressing on the seeds every day, providing an opportunity for longer lasting and more constant relief.
