Acupuncture for Stress, Musculoskeletal pain, General Ailments and Addictions
Auricular (ear) Acupuncture is a specialised form of acupuncture that is commonly used to treat and help alleviate symptoms associated with stress, pain and addictions - for example drug and alcohol addiction. Based on the principles of traditional Chinese Medicine and also incorporating elements of Western Auriculotherapy, the treatment has also been used to successfully help with the detoxification process, helping reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms such as depression, insomnia, agitation and anxiety and promote deep relaxation.
As well as helping with stress, detox and addictions Auricular Acupuncture is a powerfully effective therapy that can help most general health conditions as well as musculoskeletal pain. Very small, fine specialised and disposable needles, small magnets and seeds are also used which are worn between treatments to support the healing process. The treatment is easy, quick and effective - very often dramatic results are achieved in just one treatment session, and free from side effects! Your treatment may also involve specific dietary advice based on Traditional Chinese Medicine which will further support and encourage the healing process.
Here are some of the ways this treatment can help:
- Calms the heart and mind
- Reduces hyperactivity
- Reduces inflammation
- Regulates and strengthens kidney and adrenal function
- Regulates and facilitates lung function and relaxes the chest
- Regulates the functioning of the heart and circulation of blood
- Regulates the activity of the sympathetic nervous system (that’s the one that helps you cope with stressful situations)
- Relaxes spasms of internal organs and can alleviate pain
- Regulates skin function and sweat glands
- Promotes excretion of urine and toxins
What does this mean for you? Here are just some of the conditions where auricular acupuncture has shown to be effective and can help:

Auricular Acupuncture is a fantastic therapy and I have seen amazing results being achieved - even with chronic conditions - in relatively short time periods - often in just one session. As well as helping with stress, pain and addictions, auricular acupuncture can also help support those wanting to stop smoking and lose weight.
The number of sessions required depends on the condition being treated. Long term or chronic conditions may require weekly or twice weekly treatments. Treatment sessions last between 30 minutes -1 hour.
