Ear and Scalp Acupuncture in Edmonton
We don’t mask symptoms here at Oxford Wellness Clinic in Edmonton. That’s a bandage approach that doesn’t yield lasting results. Instead, we focus on treating the root cause of different health concerns.
Did you know that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views the ear and scalp as microsystems that reflect the entire body? As a powerful tool within TCM, acupuncture can be used to address imbalances and promote overall health, including the health of your ears and scalp.
Discover the Many Benefits
Here are some powerful ways that acupuncture can benefit the health of your ears and scalp:
- Improved Blood Flow and Circulation: The ultra-thin needles we use are inserted at specific points on the ear and scalp to stimulate blood flow and circulation in these areas. This can nourish hair follicles, potentially promoting hair growth and scalp health. Another benefit: improved circulation may manage conditions like tinnitus (ringing in the ears) by addressing underlying imbalances.
- Reduced Inflammation and Skin Conditions: Acupuncture can help calm and balance the body’s inflammatory response. This can help improve scalp conditions like dandruff, eczema, and psoriasis, creating a healthier environment for your scalp.
- Stress Reduction and Relaxation: Whether from life events, work challenges or relationship struggles, chronic stress can manifest in various ways, including scalp tension and headaches. Acupuncture’s stress-relieving effects can help ease tension in these areas, promoting relaxation and potentially reducing the frequency or severity of tension headaches.
- Support for Hearing Health: While acupuncture isn’t intended to be a replacement for conventional ear care, some studies do suggest it may offer supportive benefits for some hearing conditions like tinnitus. Acupuncture can help improve blood flow to the inner ear and potentially modulate the nervous system, contributing to fewer tinnitus symptoms.
- Holistic Approach to Wellness: Acupuncture addresses imbalances in the body’s energy flow, which can manifest in various ways, including ear and scalp issues. By treating the root cause of the problem, acupuncture offers a holistic approach to promoting overall well-being, which can positively impact the health of your ears and scalp.
