Ear Acupuncture

Thursdays, 2-3pm | 5/28-8/20

• Ear acupuncture is a nonverbal approach to healing that involves gentle placement of five small, sterilized, disposable needles into specific sites on each ear. The recipient sits quietly for 30-45 minutes allowing the treatment to take effect. Benefits of ear acupuncture include: Reduced cravings for alcohol and drugs, minimized withdrawal symptoms, increased calm, better sleep, relief from stress and emotional trauma, an easier connection with therapy, and a discovery of inner quiet and strength.
