Relieve Stress and Anxiety naturally using this one Ear point!

Auricular (ear) Acupuncture is quite common during a treatment by your Acupuncturist. Stimulating certain points on the ear can work with your body to harmonise certain dysfunctions and treat conditions that are present anywhere in your body.

One of the most popular ear points is Shen Men "Heavenly Gate" located at the top inside region of your ear in a hollow called the triangular fossa. Shen Men is located at the apex of the fossa.

Best Point for Reducing:

Stress

Anxiety

Depression

Pain

Insomnia

Addiction

Shen Men works to reduce these symptoms by stimulating your body to naturally reduce hormones such as serotonin, endorphins and dopamine (a.k.a happy hormones!)

Locate this point on your ear and press with your thumbs and support the back of your ear with your index fingers. Rub for 3 minutes while taking deep breathes.

You can do this while meditating or in bed to induce a wave of relaxation.

Do this daily or whenever you feel stressed.

If you feel restless and are having trouble focusing on your breath, or are having an anxiety or panic attack

Breathe in time with this image to easily slow your breath and relax. Stimulate Shen Men for added effects.

At SoulQi Acupuncture and Massage this is a common used point and we can provide our clients with ear seeds (pictured below) in place, not only on Shen Men but other points all over the body to continuously stimulate certain points for a longer lasting effect.
