Ear Acupuncture    What is Acupuncture?
The word Acupuncture comes from the Latin words ‘acus’ – needle and ‘pungere’ - to prick. It is a technique of inserting and manipulating fine needles into specific points on the body to relieve pain or for therapeutic purposes. Acupuncture has a history that dates back to the Stone Age where the use of ‘bian shi’ or sharpened stones dates back to the Han dynasty (202 BC-220 AD). It was popularized in the United States, during President Nixon’s visit to China in 1970 following an article in the New York Times by a journalist who received acupuncture for post-operative pain after an appendectomy.
What is Ear Acupuncture?
Auricular Acupuncture whilst originally based upon the ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture, has its origins in Modern Europe. In 1957 Dr. Paul Nogier, a neurologist from Lyons in France, observed a locum doctor treating sciatica by cauterizing an area of the ear. This prompted extensive research culminating in the development of the somatopic correspondence of specific parts of the body to the ear based upon the concept of an inverted foetus. Dr. Nogier believed that pain and other symptoms in the body could be alleviated by needling, massaging or electronically stimulating the corresponding region of the ear.
