What is Auriculotherapy?
Auriculotherapy, or Auricular Therapy, is a holistic therapy that uses electrical current tuned to specific frequencies to stimulate points on the ear to promote healing and alleviate discomfort throughout the body. This method operates on the belief that the ear serves as a microsystem, mirroring the anatomical structure of the entire body. Each point on the ear corresponds to a particular organ, gland, or body part, forming an intricate map of interconnectedness through nerves and blood vessels.
How does auriculotherapy work?
By targeting precise points on the ear, we aim to restore the balance within the underlying organs and systems. By electrically emphasizing that overactive organs should relax and promote greater activity of those that are underactive, we can train the body to behave in a way that improves our health naturally.
No needles!
We are stimulating points of the ear to achieve therapeutic effects. This non-invasive technique is particularly well-suited for individuals who may be apprehensive about needles.
Utilizing low-frequency electrical stimulation, an electrical wand is applied to auricular points. This is not acupuncture! This method can be particularly effective for managing chronic pain, reducing inflammation, and promoting relaxation.
Auriculotherapy extends beyond symptom management to encompass the holistic well-being. It is commonly used for:
Pain Relief: Whether you’re grappling with chronic pain conditions, such as arthritis or migraines & headaches, or recovering from injury, Auriculotherapy offers a natural and effective solution for pain management.
Stress Reduction: By calming the nervous system and promoting relaxation, Auriculotherapy helps alleviate stress, anxiety, and tension, fostering a greater sense of well-being and mental clarity.
Support for Addiction Recovery: Auriculotherapy has demonstrated promise in supporting individuals on their journey towards overcoming addictions, including smoking cessation and substance abuse, by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Some states in the United States use it as an option for court-mandated rehabilitation and offer it as an option for recovery in state funded jail programs.

How long is a session?
Auricular therapy sessions are 45-60 minutes long and will include a brief conversation about your current state and where you would like to improve. We will find the optimal protocol and work on both the left and right ears.
How many sessions are required to see results?
When you come in for your initial consultation, we will examine your issues and determine a plan of action. Our family's introduction to auricular therapy began when Scott had a miraculous recovery from severe acute back pain through a single hour of auriculotherapy. While we cannot precisely determine how each individual will respond to the therapy until we try, there is some indication that chronic conditions which have lasted for years may have a different path than acute conditions. We offer package deals and savings, for people who may require multiple sessions.
Is Auriculotherapy safe?
There are certain situations where the use of electrical stimulation is not ideal, such as individuals with pace makers. Please give us a call so we may determine if you are a candidate. 406-281-8200
Are there any side effects with Auriculotherapy?
You may feel a drop in blood pressure or blood sugars as you move into a deep state of relaxation. Some tenderness may be felt on the ear, and energy may be felt as it moves through the body. Tensing and relaxing of various muscles could occur. More often than not, people fall asleep during the session. It is not intended to be painful, so we will discuss how to communicate your experience of these sensations during your session.
In some circumstances, after a session, depending on your issue you may need to go through the healing process of "retracement" which is where you temporarily move into an increased feeling of symptoms for 1-4 days, as you work through the deep healing needed to move past the original upset. After this point pains should lessen and often require a second session to move further beyond that turning point and into stable long term comfort.
