Auricular acupuncture is an alternative medical technique based on the idea that specific points on the outer ear correspond to various organs and parts of the body. In other words, the ear functions as a microsystem that reflects the entire body. By stimulating these precise points with tiny needles or other tools, it is possible to influence the functioning of corresponding body parts and support the healing process.
This method is based on the NADA protocol (short for National Acupuncture Detoxification Association), a simple yet highly effective acupuncture technique. It involves inserting needles into specific points on the ear to help regulate the body’s functions, reduce stress, and promote regeneration. Scientifically supported and entirely natural, this complementary therapy effectively aids in restoring inner balance, supporting self-regulatory processes, and achieving emotional calm.
The NADA protocol is a globally recognized, natural method that effectively supports the body and mind in a variety of situations, including:
The reflex points located on the ear are connected to the body’s organs and nervous system. There are two main types of ear acupuncture treatments: traditional needle-based ear acupuncture and procedures using long-term stimulation devices.
During traditional needle-based ear acupuncture, the practitioner places fine, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points on the ear. Throughout the treatment, these needles provide targeted stimulation of nerve endings, supporting the body’s natural self-healing processes. The needles are removed at the end of the session, making the procedure quick, safe, and capable of producing an immediate effect on physical and mental balance.
Long-term stimulation devices — such as permanent needles, small plant seeds, and ear magnets — maintain the effects of the treatment for several days by continuously stimulating the ear’s acupuncture points. After placement, the semi-permanent needles are secured with skin-friendly adhesive tape, allowing patients to wear them comfortably while going about their daily activities.
The following programs not only represent treatment options but also indicate a conscious direction for change — the areas in which you may need support. Treatments are performed once a week, tailored individually to your needs, and adjusted to your personal goals.
Auricular acupuncture can be effectively used as a complementary method to support both physical and emotional well-being in children. Our specialist welcomes children from the age of 6 and uses a needle-free technique: small pressure point beads or plant seeds are gently applied to the ear, completely pain-free. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these points reflect the entire body and can influence the functioning of internal organs, the nervous system, and emotional balance. Gently massaging the beads three times a day for about 30 seconds enhances the effect, though the treatment is still effective even without it – just a bit milder.
