Details

Ear acupuncture, also called auriculotherapy, is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and views the ear as a microsystem—a reflex map of the entire body. Points on its surface correspond to organs, muscles, emotional states, metabolism, and psychophysical functions.

By stimulating these points with ultra-fine needles, magnets, or tiny seeds, we activate the body’s natural recovery and regeneration processes. The treatment is non-invasive and gentle, yet it can have deep and lasting effects. At Satori Acupuncture, ear acupuncture is especially effective for stress, insomnia, chronic pain, hormonal imbalance, and addiction support. It is also often combined with full-body acupuncture for an even stronger therapeutic impact.

Each session is tailored to the individual and can be used with people who feel uneasy about traditional needling. Weekly visits are typical, though the schedule is always set in consultation with your practitioner.

At Satori Acupuncture, we have gold beads that you can apply yourself for home use in order to give yourself an ear acupressure treatment, and it works for days after application. For more information, see our Satori webshop.

Deep Effect, Gentle Approach

Reducing Stress & Anxiety

Stimulating points on the ear influence the autonomic nervous system, fostering emotional relaxation and regulating the body’s functional balance.

Better Sleep Quality

Ear acupuncture can help regulate the circadian rhythm and calm the mind, making it easier to fall asleep and achieve deeper, more restorative sleep.

Relieving Chronic Pain

Reflex stimulation of auricular points can lessen pain perception and make daily life easier when dealing with various chronic conditions.

Support for Addiction

By targeting points associated with cravings and self-control, ear acupuncture can aid detoxification processes and foster emotional stability.

Enhancing Inner Balance & Vitality

By harmonising energetic and neurological processes, the treatment promotes homeostasis and delivers a sense of stability, clarity, and lightness in everyday life.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s natural to want to learn more before trying something new. Below, we answer the most common questions about ear acupuncture, from what a session looks like to what you can expect afterward.

Is ear acupuncture painful?

The session uses ultra-fine needles, and most people feel only mild pressure, a brief tingling, or almost nothing at all. For sensitive clients, we can use tiny seeds or magnets instead of needles.

How long does a session last?

An ear-acupuncture session takes about 30 minutes. Your first visit may run a bit longer because it includes a consultation, assessment, and a personalised plan.

Is there anything I should know before my appointment?

Please avoid coming on an empty stomach or right after a heavy meal. Wear comfortable clothing, and let us know if you have any medical diagnoses, are taking medication, or are pregnant, so we can tailor the treatment fully to you.

Can this treatment be used on its own or as part of a broader therapy?

It can be applied both independently and as a complement to full-body acupuncture. We often combine the two for a deeper, more comprehensive effect, depending on your needs and goals.

Is ear acupuncture suitable for everyone?

Yes. The treatment is very safe and can be adapted for almost anyone, including children. If there are specific health conditions, pregnancy, or other sensitivities, we will carefully review them and tailor the approach individually.

What results can I expect from ear acupuncture?

Results depend on the type of issue and your individual condition. Many people notice improvement after the first session, such as a sense of calm, better sleep quality, reduced tension or less pain. With chronic conditions, the benefit builds gradually over a series of treatments.

Is ear acupuncture as effective as body acupuncture?

It can be just as effective, depending on what is being treated. For stress, insomnia, or emotional challenges, ear acupuncture often delivers strong results on its own. For other conditions, it is used as additional support, intensifying and deepening the overall therapeutic effect.
