Auricular Therapy ADD/ ADHD is a form of alternative medicine based on the idea that the ear is a microsystem and that the entire body can be treated by stimulation of the surface of the ear exclusively.
We have 15 years experience in auricular therapy and our clients have had some excellent results. Sessions are booked for an hour per session and we recommend follow up sessions according to individual progress and results.
We provide individual and group session by our highly trained professionals. The procedure is virtually painless and is safe, gentle and a natural way to heal your body.
The sessions are done in a safe and beautiful setting in Faerie Glen Pretoria but we also travel if group bookings are made. We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
Scientifically Proven Treatments for Auricular Therapy ADD/ ADHD
Attention-deficit disorder (ADD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are among the most common psychiatric disorders in both children and adolescents. It is estimated that ADD/ ADHD patients constitute about 50% of the child psychiatry population. Untreated, these conditions will be symptomatic throughout childhood, adolescence, and through adult life. Auricular therapy has been established as an alternative treatment approach for these conditions.

My Child is Scared of Needles?
Don't worry!
Instead of using needles, we use small magnetic beads or seeds that are taped to points on the external ear.
Acupressure beads can be placed in the same locations with the use of medical tape, and can be worn to provide longer lasting relief. Acupressure beads can be used in place of acupuncture needles, or in conjunction with them for optimal support
“I was initially scared of the doing the treatment because I was scared of needles. I am glad I went because I hardly felt them and the treatments have helped me stay focused & my concentration is so much better now .” Estelle*
A Safe Alternative for Auricular Therapy ADD/ ADHD
Several American studies discovered that the frontal and temporal cortex of the brain, as well as the pineal gland, and cerebellum were 3 – 4% smaller in size among ADD /ADHD sufferers than non sufferers. These are the areas of the nervous system involved in the regulation of attention span, impulse control, empathy, memory and language skills, and general human behaviour.
This research led to the creation of a treatment approach named “Three Phase Auricular Therapy” which has proved to be very successful in the treatment of ADHD in the USA. The initial treatment begins by harmonising the energy blockages in the body organs which are causing the behavioural dysfunction.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A TREATMENT?
AURICULAR THERAPY
Auricular Acupuncture uses much smaller & thinner needles than those used for body acupuncture. Press seeds are used on small children and those scared of needles.
CONSULTATION
The practitioner will select the appropriate treatment taking into consideration age, lifestyle, general health & the condition being treated after discussing the patients needs.
NEEDLE PLACEMENT
During the Auricular Acupuncture treatment the practitioner inserts 5-7 needles / seeds while you are sitting comfortably in a chair. This is done in tranquil surroundings.
45 MINUTES
The needles stay in for 45 minutes while you are quietly relaxing, perhaps listening to some relaxation music. Many patients fall asleep because they feel so good and relaxed.
RELAXED & CALM
After the session, the needles are removed by the practitioner and you will feel relaxed, peaceful, calm and have a general sense of well being.
POST TREATMENT
Seeds are placed on specific points in the ear. These are worn for a few days after the treatment & the patient is requested to stimulate the points to activate them.
Your life is more important than you may believe
SCIENTIFIC PROOF - CASE STUDY
Case Study 1*
“DB was place on Ritalin 30 mg/day at age 4. He was an angry child, destroying anything in his way, with an attention span of less that 5 seconds. On daytime medication, DB sat unproductively most of the day. In the evenings he was restless, tearful and hyperactive. By age 14, DB was taking Dexedrine, Lithium and Catapres as well as Ritalin. His blood pressure was 150/90. He remained either somnolent or hyperactive, unable to have a productive life on any dose of medication. His parents had tried numerous additional remedies to no avail. RESULTS –- At age 14 (in 1996) DB responded immediately to his first ear acupuncture treatment. Sympathetic, shenmen and lung were used.
- His sleep and activity patterns normalized within a week.
- His blood pressure and symptoms of depression subsided within weeks.
- Soon DB was using acupressure seeds and beads on a regular basis.
- His school performance improved steadily even as the Dexedrine was being discontinued.
- Presently (in 1998) DB is taking driver education, rides horses, has a part-time job, mentors kindergarten children, and is able to study for hours at a time. He is a charming, relaxed young adult who is quite aware of his educational deficits and is seeking to improve himself on a daily basis. DB is able to tell his mother when he needs to have follow-up acupressure bead treatment. This now occurs only on a monthly basis.”
Case Study 2*
“GH is a 5-year-old boy living in a therapeutic residence because of his mother’s clinical status. GH would stomp frequently and required seven ‘time-outs’ per day for social management. RESULTS –- After 1 week of acupressure bead placement, GH could sit calmly and no longer required ‘time-outs’ for social control.
- His teacher says he completes his homework and ‘now he learns so fast’.
- The beads ‘make me happy’ GH says.”
Case Study 3*
“DK was abandoned at the age of 2 and entered foster care. He was developmentally delayed and placed on Ritalin and Ativan. At age 12 (1998) DK was living with his aunt and doing poorly even in special education classes. After the acupressure beads were applied in May, 1998 RESULTS –- DK was able to focus in school and his bouts of anger decreased.
- Soon DK began to talk about his mother in a hopeful manner.
- He visited her each weekend over the summer and now will be able to live with her in a constructive manner.
- DK no longer takes medication and is able to ask for acupressure beads whenever he feels it is necessary.”
These case studies of Auricular therapy used in ADD/ADHD cases are taken from a report by colleagues of Lincoln Hospital, Bronx, NY.
