Ear Acupuncture

Ear acupuncture, also known as auriculotherapy, is a specialized form of acupuncture that focuses on treating points on the ear. At TCM Töss in Winterthur Töss, we use this highly effective method to treat a variety of conditions. Ear acupuncture is based on the principle that the ear is a micro-map of the entire body, with each point on the ear corresponding to a specific body part or organ.

In ear acupuncture, very fine, sterile needles are placed at specific points on the ear. These points correspond to various body regions and organs. By stimulating these points, we can:

1. Regulate energy flow in the body
2. Reduce pain sensations
3. Improve the function of certain organs
4. Enhance overall well-being

At TCM Töss in Winterthur Töss, we use state-of-the-art techniques and materials to provide you with a gentle and effective treatment.

Ear acupuncture has proven effective in treating numerous conditions:

• Chronic pain (e.g., back pain, arthritis)
• Migraines and headaches
• Sleep disorders
• Anxiety and depression
• Addiction problems (e.g., smoking cessation)
• Digestive issues
• Weight regulation
• Allergies
• Tinnitus

• Precise treatment: Ear acupuncture allows for very targeted therapy.
• Minimally invasive: Only very fine needles are used.
• Rapid effect: Many patients report immediate relief of their symptoms.
• Holistic approach: We treat not just symptoms, but the whole person.
• Complementary therapy: Ear acupuncture can be easily combined with other treatment methods.

Numerous studies demonstrate the effectiveness of ear acupuncture. Its effect on pain management and support for addiction therapies is particularly well researched. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized ear acupuncture as an effective treatment method for various diseases.

At TCM Töss in Winterthur Töss, we offer you an individually tailored ear acupuncture treatment. The typical process looks like this:

1. Comprehensive initial consultation
2. Examination of the ear
3. Determination of the points to be treated
4. Gentle insertion of the acupuncture needles
5. Rest period of about 20-30 minutes
6. Removal of the needles
7. Discussion of the further treatment plan

Ear acupuncture is a safe and well-tolerated treatment method for most people. However, there are a few contraindications, such as certain skin conditions on the ear or when taking blood thinners. In a detailed consultation, we will determine if ear acupuncture is suitable for you.
