Acupuncture is one of the oldest specialized medical therapies, dating back over 3,000 years. Our community auricular acupuncture is a technique that involves the stimulation of specific points on the ear, which can help with the following conditions: orthopedic pain, insomnia, depression and anxiety, indigestion, and more. When qi (energy) is blocked or not flowing smoothly through the body’s meridians, it can lead to pain, illness, and other health problems. The insertion of thin, sterile and disposable needles into the skin at specific points on the ear, may help in stimulating and balancing the flow of qi.
What to Expect: When you enter, choose your chair, padded with a blanket, and get comfortable. Others will be resting nearby in their own chair while the treatment is in progress. We use hushed voices and relaxing music to keep things cozy. Clients remain fully dressed, and we recommend wearing comfortable, loose clothing. We need only to reach your ears, so please remove earrings, and make sure your hair is pulled back.
After getting settled, Orit will come by and sit with you for a few minutes to learn what you’d like from your treatment. Between 6-12 sterile hair-thin needles will be inserted into various points in your ear. Sessions typically last for 30 minutes.
