Information on Ear Stapling or Acu Staple

Ear stapling has been around for over two decades. In my opinion, It is a combination of auriculotherapy, acupressure and acupuncture. I call it staple puncture or acupressure with stapling because it is a variation of auriculotherapy that places the staple at key pressure points to target weight loss, stress, tension, migraines, and smoking cessation.

Auriculotherapy or ear puncture utilizes the body's ‘micro system’ of the ear to treat certain parts of the body. It has been shown scientifically that different points in the ear demonstrate higher electrical conductivity when their related organ or tissue is stressed, unbalanced, or diseased. Through treatment of such points, energy flow is theorized to be enhanced to this area of the body. This increase of energy to an area of imbalance will potentially result in improvement in the physical as well as energetic state of body.

There are said to be over 700 different auricular points on the ear. I of course do not target all of those. I concentrate on certain pressure points that target appetite, stress, tension, IBS, gastric reflux and cravings. When you come in for your appointment I will go over these specific pressure points in detail with a diagram.

The majority of my clients come to me for the weight loss staple, which at this time there is over 90% success rate. For smoking and migraines there is an 85% success rate.

There are numerous reasons to have the staple placed; weight loss, migraines, stress, smoking cessation, chronic back pain and digestive imbalances. Everyone is different regarding the anatomy of their ears, there are no two alike, including your left and right ear. I will assess each person as an individual and will try to meet your specific needs regarding the ear staple. Please know, the staple will affect what your body needs most. For example, you may lose inches at first then pounds. You may sleep better than you ever have, be less tense and not lose weight at first. The staple targets many areas, so you may feel the staple isn't working because you are not losing weight, but it really is, it is targeting what your body needs first.

I find it of up most importance to warn all of you regarding other providers placing ear staples. Most states do not require you have any knowledge to do this procedure. Any individual can purchase equipment online and say they know all about ear stapling, and they really do not. This puts so many clients at risk for infection and scarring, and more importantly, no results. It does take knowledge of auriculolgy, identification of acupuncture points in the ear and the technique of how to do this procedure. All providers placing staples are different and have different methods and beliefs. My technique and philosophy of ear stapling are just that, they are mine. I have developed my own technique and rationale for ear stapling and I take tremendous pride in my work. Remember, no matter who you choose, be sure to ask questions and be comfortable with the answers you are given
