POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

From Friday’s class where we practiced auricular acupuncture and ear seeds!!!

As you can see on the last pic, in TCM each little part of the ear is connected to a body part or organ.

Needles or ear seeds are used on specific points of the ear to improve diseases + any related symptoms a person may be having!

The needles used for the ear are much smaller than needles we use for the rest of the body. The intra-dermal needles in the first photo are so tiny that patients can go home with them in when tape is placed over them (similar to ear seeds). The intra-dermal needles can be kept in for a few days and removed by the patient themselves at home! by @elsacupuncture

Fire Cupping!

We use fire to push the air out of the cup creating negative pressure and better suction.

Fire cupping can improve blood flow and help to relieve pain and swelling, tissue injury, cold & cough, digestive issues, etc.

Fire cupping is a very relaxing treatment that can help ease any local muscle pain or tension! by @elsacupuncture
