What is a ear acupuncture?
Ear acupuncture is the art of inserting sterile, surgical, steel needles into certain acupressure points on the outer ear, which affects nerve impulses and the central nervous system.
It is evidence-based with a wide clinical application to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and support symptoms of stress and anxiety.
Up to 5 needles are placed in the ear for 30-45 minutes whilst you sit or lie and relax.
Vital energy (Qi) will travel around your body's meridians which the acupuncture points affect.

Effects and benefits of ear acupuncture

Why ear acupuncture?
There are very few contra-indications to ear acupuncture and very few side-effects.
