Complementary Therapies - Being a Guinea Pig in Ear Acupuncture
Hello Buzzy Bees!
You are going to embrace a new journey with me!
As some know, I'm a Spa Therapist!
Besides massages, I have other specific therapies that I learned in my course, like Hot Stones, Reflexology, even Bambootherapy (oh this one is awesome go take a look lolol)!
Acupuncture was one of the things I would like to learn but never got the opportunity.
But yesterday got to be a volunteer for a study!
Auriculotherapy!
Auriculotherapy (also auricular therapy, ear acupuncture, and auriculoacupuncture) is a form of alternative medicine based on the idea that the ear is a microsystem, which reflects the entire body, represented on the auricle, the outer portion of the ear. In Wikipedia
Here's a map that I got from Google:
Was wondering if I should show my ear but oh well lol I have some plasters almost the same color as my skin and under them, there are little magnet spheres to keep stimulating during the week.
Check the video to know more :)
Thank you so much for watching and reading!

I was able to watch the whole video on 3Speak, Eliana! Great job! I am all too familiar with sciatica. I was about your age when I was dealing with it on a regular basis. Laid up and taking pain killers and even tried chiropractic. That run up a huge tab in a hurry. So I stopped it and just figured out how to deal with it myself by moving around and trying to do some yoga. I shared this with my sisters who are very into alternative therapies as well. They are into yoga and showed me the poses I should do to relieve my pain.
Thank you Lisa!
Sciatica is a pain that's been "on holidays" and I hope it stays that way lol
I should try yoga or just some stretching, just that helps a lot to relieve the pain!
I do believe in reflexology and acupuncture and it was a no brainer for me to be a volunteer!
Thank you for sharing with your sisters :)

You're welcome for both, Eliana! Activity is the key to keep that pain away. So, much better than pain pills which can cause organ damage if you're on them too long.
Looking forward to learning about the rest of your ear acupuncture journey.
Thanks for the tokens!
Happy Weekend!

I was very curious :) but this happened:
Will try again later..
I didn't know you're a massage therapist. Do you work in a wellness hotel or something?
Sounds like a cool job either way!
If you click the 3Speak link at the end of the post, the video will work on their platform. They had a big issue some weeks ago and might have compromised some old videos.
I will put this in the next automated emails so people are aware. Thank you for letting me know! I was hoping it was just me.
Yeah I'm working at the spa in a hotel since last July...I lost my previous job in another hotel company due to Covid and they never called me back lol
Thank you! It is my passion helping people with my hands ☺️

Acupuncture is amazing. When I was in China I saw amazing things done with it. On TV, I saw a major operation performed with no anesthetic, just acupuncture. Thanks for sharing.
The video didn't play for some reason. But, the post was interesting to go through with the images and all. Lovely post, @elianaicgomes
Bummer...i had the same issue while trying the link on the email but thought that was just me.

Even without having seen the video, the post on itself was already very interesting. Glad that I am following you since Listnerds came out. I would never have found your blogs in the middle of the busy Hive otherwise!
Some weeks ago 3Speak had a big issue and it might compromised some old videos.
but if you click on "watch on 3speak" or just "3speak" link it will go to their platform and the video works there, phew!
Completely understandable when everyone is buzzy bee here 😋🤓
Thank you so much for the follow and the comment!

Very interesting, Eliana. I can't wait for the next episode.
That is awesome. I know of myself and a few others that could benifit from this.
Cool! I didn't know the ear was anything more then the way we hear and that it's openings were connected to the throat inside.
