Auriculotherapy (Ear Acupressure)

Auriculotherapy is a branch of traditional Chinese medicine that stimulates specific points on the ear, which correspond to organs and functions throughout the body. The stimulation is done with seeds, small beads, or specialized needles. It is widely sought out for anxiety, pain, and support for habits such as curbing appetite. In Brazil it is recognized as an integrative practice within the public health system. A session lasts between 20 and 40 minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How long do the seeds stay on the ear?
Generally 3 to 7 days. You can press on them a few times a day to reinforce the stimulation, following your practitioner's guidance.
Does it hurt to have them placed?
With seeds or beads, it does not hurt — just a light pressure. With specialized needles, there may be a brief, minimal sensation. The practitioner chooses the technique based on your situation.
