Acutherapy
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the ear provides acupressure points that correspond to each part of the body. When a point is stimulated by pressure, adhesive pellets, or needles, the smooth and abundant flow of “Qi” or vital life energy returns to the related organ or area, allowing healing to take place.
In these trainings, you will learn acupressure ear seed protocols for relieving stress, pain, anxiety and other conditions. Points are easy to locate on the surface of the ear and are chosen are based upon Oriental medical theory, and clinical indication. All the points serve to balance the body’s energy and assist the body’s healing processes.

Acutherapy for Stress Reduction - Online
With this course you will learn how to use Acutherapy (Ear acupressure seeds) for Stress reduction. Acutherapy has been used by our Medical Reserve Corps for stress reduction after natural and manmade disasters, both for those affected directly and for the first responders who provided the care.
The protocol can be used to treat substance use addiction, anxiety, sleeplessness, pain, digestive and other symptoms associated with acute stress. Our team has used the basic protocol in NM after wildfires, mass shootings, student suicides, fire or police department deaths, parade deaths, for asylum seekers, and for Covid patients. We also teach Acutherapy for several common conditions such as high blood pressure, palpitations, stress reduction etc.

When a point is stimulated by pressure, adhesive pellets, or needles, the smooth and abundant flow of “Qi” or vital life energy returns to the related organ or area, allowing healing to take place.
In this training, you will learn the 3 ear-pellet stress reduction protocol, which includes Shen Men, Liver, and Lung auricular points. These points are easy to locate on the surface of the ear. The three points chosen are based upon Oriental medical theory, and clinical indication. All the points serve to balance the body’s energy and assist the body’s healing processes. Together the combined effect of these 3 points, (referred to as yin tonification in Oriental medicine and parasympathetic toning in Western Medicine), restore calm, and have been found to improve ability to sleep, reduce muscle aches, and reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts.
Manual, play dough for making ears, and ear pellets will be provided for this training. Come and learn a non-intrusive coping skill for stress reduction, and then bring it to your community!
