Seattle Ear Reflexology or Auricular therapy is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Like hand reflexology, ear reflexology can be applied quickly and easily in situations where foot reflexology may not be suitable, or if health conditions do not permit it. During a session of ear reflexology all reflexes will be worked thoroughly.
The dictionary defines the word reflex as "an involuntary muscle contraction due to an external stimulus.” In the context of reflexology, it is used in the sense of reflection, or mirror image. Through stimulation of the circulatory and lymphatic systems and by encouraging the release of toxins, a session at Greenlake Reflex Center will help the body heal itself.
