The ear is connected to every part of the body because of the ceaseless circulation of energy and blood through these meridiens and vessels." Dr Helena Huang. 1974. The points for Ear Reflexology are similar to those in auricular therapy (ear acupuncture). A sensitive point is identified with either a finger or a small blunt stick. By attaching a seed with a plaster on to a sensitive defined point the patient can easily work when required between treatments.

It is believed that Ear Reflexology works by directly stimulating the central nervous system, as opposed to traditional reflexology which relaxes the body to allow balancing of the systems.

Also unlike traditional reflexology, each ear represents the whole body so only one ear is worked on at a time.
