Ear Reflexology is based on the ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture. Originally only a very few ear points were known, and they were not organized somatotopically, but in a non-specific pattern. The first somatotopic ear map was developed in 1957 by the French physician Paul Nogier and is based upon the concept of an inverted fetus orientation. Today we are working with a combination of French and Chinese Reflex Maps.
The ears are an amazing reflex area for rapid and profound relaxation and pain reduction, especially for most musculoskeletal issues. Working with two Somatotopic Ear Maps, Functional Points and Master Points, you will see remarkable results for a variety of different issues your clients may be dealing with. You can add Ear Reflexology into your Foot and Hand Reflexology session, and/or combine it with other modalities.
