Ear acupuncture in Kongens Lyngby

Ear acupuncture, also known as auriculotherapy, is a treatment method in which specific points on the outer ear are stimulated to affect different parts of the body. This practice is based on the idea that the ear functions as a microsystem that reflects the entire body, which means that stimulation of specific ear points can have a therapeutic effect on corresponding areas of the body. At Helse- og Idrætsklinikken, we offer ear acupuncture, among other things.

How is ear acupuncture treatment performed?

During a typical session, the client lies or sits relaxed while small, thin needles are inserted into selected points on both ears. The needles remain in the ear for approximately 45 minutes, allowing time for the body to respond to the stimulation. Many experience a sense of calm and relaxation during and after the treatment.

What conditions can ear acupuncture be used for?

Ear acupuncture is often used as a complementary treatment for a number of conditions, including:

Pain relief: The treatment can be effective in relieving pain associated with migraines, back pain, and muscle tension.

Stress and anxiety: Stimulating ear points can help reduce stress levels and promote relaxation, which can have a positive impact on mental health.

Addiction and withdrawal symptoms: Some treatment centers use ear acupuncture as part of programs to reduce cravings and relieve withdrawal symptoms, although it is important to note that the scientific evidence for its effects on addiction is limited.

Benefits of ear acupuncture

• Natural and side-effect-free treatment: Ear acupuncture is a gentle method that supports the body's own ability to restore balance and harmony.
• Quick effect: Many people experience relief shortly after the needles are inserted, often within 10-15 seconds.
• Flexibility: The treatment can stand alone or be combined with other forms of therapy such as massage or reflexology for a more holistic approach.
