Auriculotherapy

What is Auriculotherapy?

Auriculotherapy is a form of point therapy focused entirely on the outer ear. In this practice, the ear is treated as a detailed map of the whole body — often pictured as an inverted figure, with points corresponding to the head, spine, organs, and limbs. By stimulating the right points with precise, needle-free pressure, the therapist can influence the matching part of the body, easing pain and restoring energy balance.

Because everything happens at the ear, it is one of the most convenient therapies we offer: no undressing, no needles, and effects that can be felt well beyond the ear itself.

How it works

The outer ear is one of the most nerve-rich surfaces of the body, with branches connecting directly to the brain and nervous system. When a part of the body is out of balance, its corresponding ear point often becomes tender or sensitive — which is why the therapist begins by carefully examining the ear.

Stimulating these points sends signals through the nervous system that help calm pain pathways, relax tension, and support the body's own regulating processes. In the KiLiK approach, this rebalancing supports stress reduction, pain relief, better sleep, and mental clarity. Some points, such as the well-known Shen Men point, are used specifically for their deeply calming effect.

What a session feels like

You sit or lie comfortably while the therapist works on one or both ears with fingertips or a small rounded probe. Active points may feel briefly tender — a useful signal, not a problem — and the sensation typically softens as the point releases. Many people feel a wave of warmth or drowsy relaxation during the session. If ear seeds are placed, you leave with a simple way to continue the therapy yourself: a gentle press a few times a day keeps the points working between visits.
