Based on the principles of acupuncture, auriculotherapy uses the ear as a microsystem or tiny map of the whole body. Because there are hundreds of acupuncture points in the ear, many common health issues can be supported by using ear seeds. These tiny, adhesive gold “seeds” apply light pressure to the acupuncture points in the ear with the intention of stimulating a healing response; they are used for concerns like anxiety&mood, digestive issues, fatigue, headaches, immunity, insomnia, menstrual irregularity, pain, quitting, stress, seasonal symptoms, and trauma.
Each participant will receive a personalized ear seed protocol based on symptoms they would like to address. Payment is by donation on the day of the event.
Lauren Grisanti, L.Ac., M.Ac. is a licensed acupuncturist in the state of New York. From Lauren: My treatments are rooted in the understanding that acupuncture should set people free from unnecessary suffering. I strive to help patients re-write what’s possible around their bodies and well-being through a gentile and assertive approach. By acknowledging physical and emotional health are directly linked, I hope to connect patients to their innate capacity to heal.
While I maintain a general practice, I am passionate about working with mental-emotional concerns, chronic musculoskeletal pain, reproductive health/fertility, and those going through big life transitions or moments of change.
