Auricular acupuncture to support weight management
This individually tailored ear acupuncture therapy supports clients with weight management as they work towards personal goals. Clients are invited to relax deeply for 20-40 minutes whilst the needles are in place.
The process
An initial consultation process identifies hormone imbalances and addresses them using auricular acupuncture points. During the treatment, small needles are inserted into the ears with the aim of bringing balance to the hormones associated with these conditions.
