Body Acupuncture – An Ancient Healing Tradition

When we think of acupuncture today, we usually think of China. Yet the history of this healing tradition reaches much further back – deep into the ancient past of Eurasia.

A fascinating testament to this is Ötzi, the Iceman. More than 5,200 years ago, distinctive tattoos were placed on specific areas of his body. Many of these locations correspond, from an acupuncture perspective, to points still used today in the treatment of rheumatic conditions.

Ear Acupuncture (Auriculotherapy)

Ear acupuncture, further developed in modern naturopathy by French physician Dr. Paul Nogier, is based on the understanding that the entire body is reflected in reflex zones of the ear.

Stimulating these points can influence:

• Organ systems
• Pain patterns
• Autonomic nervous regulation
• Emotional states

If desired, treatment can be applied in a semi-permanent form, where tiny needles or micro-beads remain in the ear for several hours or days, providing continuous gentle stimulation.

How Acupuncture Works

Each acupuncture point transmits energetic information through neural and bioelectrical impulses within the body. This allows acupuncture to support healing on multiple levels.
