*There are over 160 acupuncture points in our ears that can be stimulated by doing a simple ear massage. Dr. Nogier, a French acupuncturist and medical doctor, found that by stimulating ear points with acupuncture needles, certain parts of the brain were stimulated.  Extensive research resulted in the discovery of many acupuncture points in the ear that treated different parts of the body.  The results of this ear massage may include pain relief and improved health of the body.

 

Procedure:

a) Apply a small amount of lotion (not petroleum based) to the ear. Don’t put lotion or massage in the External Auditory canal leading into the inner ear.

b) Massage gently from top to bottom and from inside to outside of the ear.

c) The inside of the ear works on improving the health of the organs of your body.

d) The outside of the ear works on legs, arms, shoulder, and back.

e) The back of the ear works on the muscles in the back and helps with high blood pressure.

f) Massage approximately for 1-7 minutes. Listen to your body and don’t over do it.

g) Wait 1 hour after eating before doing this.

h) The warmth you feel on your ears after a massage indicates that it’s helping your whole body.

h) There should be no pain during and after your massage. Do not do this is technique if there is pain during or after your massage.

i) This technique does not replace proper medical treatment and does not diagnose or treat any disease.
