Did you know there is a difference between auriculoTHERAPY and auriculoMEDICINE? I didn’t really understand this until last year, when I did training with Dr. Nogier.<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago I got an email from an average person<\/em> who wanted to know if the Auriculotherapy Success Seminar<\/strong><\/a><\/span> was right for them. Here’s how the conversation went:<\/p>\n

Hello. I’m not an acupuncturist, but I want to know more about treating ears. I use pressure points for pain and they work. If I went to this seminar, would I learn how to be an auriculotherapist?<\/p>\n

My answers was NO. This seminar is not right for you…<\/p>\n

I responded with a lengthy email explaining that AuriculoMEDICINE and AuriculoTHERAPY are not the same thing. In the end, we figured out that all she really wanted to do was learn more basic pressure points. I sent her some resources on how she could learn more and let her know that if she ever became a Licensed Acupuncturist, to touch base with me, and I’d love to have her at our seminar.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After that email, it dawned on me that many Licensed Acupuncturists<\/em> settle for knowing a few basic go-to points, and think they have tied up the world ear acupuncture. These acupuncturists are missing out. I’m going to share SIX truths<\/strong> about auriculotherapy.<\/p>\n

In the end, I hope you realize that you can do SO MUCH MORE with this medicine if you expand your education.<\/p>\n

Truth #1:\u00a0 Anyone can get results.<\/span><\/h2>\n

A basic auriculotherapy class can literally be condensed into a three-hour course: why auriculotherapy works, how to find a point, how to treat a point.<\/strong> There are several classic points that are extremely effective. Medical professionals use a simple NADA protocol to help with drug addiction. There is a basic universal protocol for smoking cessation. Everyone feels better emotionally by treating Shen Men and Point Zero.<\/p>\n

Think about this\u2026 An average person can go online and buy a treatment protocol for anxiety, stress, insomnia, weight loss, etc. with a do-it-yourself list of instructions using seeds or pellets on \u201cpressure points\u201d on the ear. Really, it\u2019s a great business and I know the owners. My friends Tova and Ellie do a FABULOUS job expanding auriculotherapy to the general public. Here’s their website:\u00a0earseeds.com.<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Why shouldn\u2019t someone use pressure points on the ear to resolve stress or relieve pain?<\/strong> You don\u2019t even have to use needles to get good results with protocols like these, and there aren\u2019t any real contraindications for treating pressure points on the ear.<\/p>\n

Truth #2:\u00a0 Ear points are NOT hard to find.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"auriculotherapy<\/p>\n

Okay, so there are HUNDREDS of points on the ear, but you don\u2019t have to know them all to effectively resolve general conditions. If you know a few points to resolve pain and relieve stress, you can do some effective work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a truth: When I graduated college as an acupuncturist, I had learned about hundreds of acupuncture points, how to use needles, contraindications with regards to needles, and how to create a general treatment protocol. BUT\u2014in all honesty, I had memorized a list of about 10 really effective points which I used most often to supplement my TCM treatment plan.<\/p>\n

Truth #3: Patients can do it without you.<\/span>\"auriculotherapy<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Auriculotherapy is cool, but honestly, if you give a patient a basic ear chart, they can navigate around successfully treating ear points with pellets or seeds and get some basic relief.<\/p>\n

This shouldn\u2019t offend you. Everyone should have a list of basic self-help trigger points and pressure points\u2014whether on the ear or on the body\u2014to help them resolve pain and stress. This isn\u2019t a lot different from patients using massage, stretching, yoga, deep breathing, positive affirmations, journaling, etc. to help put them in balance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Truth #4: Auriculotherapy is NOT the same as Auriculomedicine.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Did you know that there is another whole realm of ear acupuncture called auriculomedicine? There are some practitioners that use this modality, ALONE, as their only treatment to resolve really difficult diseases.<\/p>\n

Imagine that you had to give up all other forms of treatment and only use the ear to treat. Would you be very good?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Truth #5: Training with Dr. Raphael Nogier in 2016 pushed me to a new level of healing.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve always thought of myself as pretty great<\/em> when it came to ear acupuncture\u2013until I figured out how much I DID NOT KNOW.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It takes a lot more than memorizing a handful of really great point locations to become amazing at healing. Like I said earlier, even average people can learn basic point location and effective treatment.<\/p>\n

Graduation from auriculotherapy to auriculomedicine has been life-changing in my clinic. Now I know why so many practitioners go back to the same seminar year after year, the Auriculotherapy Success seminar<\/span> <\/span><\/a><\/strong>with Dr. Raphael Nogier, son of the founder of auriculotherapy, Dr. Paul Nogier.\u00a0The bank of knowledge by Dr. Nogier is absolutely phenomenal. Here\u2019s a list of NEW things I learned last year:<\/p>\n
