Killara, Sydney
Auriculartherapy is a therapy in its own right and recognized by the World Health Organisation. In
This opens up excellent opportunities for reflexologists, especially when we consider how powerful and effective it is for a wide range of conditions. Also the NADA protocol for addictive behaviors is a well established treatment regime for substance abuse and the relief of withdrawal symptoms. There may be opportunities to work in this area. Please see the Case Study below which clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of auriculartherapy in this difficult area.
Auriculartherapy always forms an important part of every treatment I give to clients with headaches, migraines, neck and shoulder problems and pain of any kind.
My success in treating people suffering with Trigeminal Neuralgia has encouraged me to think about attempting a mini research study in this area and those who complete this workshop may wish to join me in this endeavor.

Back to TopCase Study: Treating Alcoholism with Auricular-therapy
Early last year whilst on holidays I was asked to treat a 28 year old male for alcoholism. The request was made by the parents who had tried many different approaches to help their son, all to no avail, and out of sheer desperation asked if I would try auricular-therapy for him.
I treated him after his father had just collected him from a drinking binge. He was brought in reeking of alcohol and agreeable to having the treatment. Not long after having completed the training in auricular-therapy but full of faith and enthusiasm, I followed the treatment protocol for alcoholism as set out in Dr Terry Oleson’s manual. Using a probe, I worked his right ear and placed magnets on the most reactive points including Alcoholic Point, Liver, Lung 2, Tranquilizer Point and Shen Men.
Throughout the treatment he gave very little reaction except to indicate which points felt most painful and uncomfortable. He left without saying much and at this stage I was just pleased to be asked to help with this long standing problem.
Not giving it much thought, I was surprised to receive an email from the parents a couple of months later advising me that their son had abstained from alcohol since the treatment and was displaying positive signs with respect to getting his life back in order. He had moved back home, appeared more confident, was exploring ways to expand his work and was taking more interest in personal hygiene and grooming. Things that had long been neglected.
It has now been about 22 months and the reports are still favourable. Apart from a few minor episodes, he has remained well and his parents continue to sing the praises of auricular-therapy. Of the numerous different therapies and approaches their son had tried over the years, nothing had produced the positive results like auricular-therapy.
