Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Hi Holger, If you're worried about the acupuncture points in the ear, just tell the " piercer " where you want it done, and place it between actual points. The points on the lobe aren't that close together. I got mine pierced when I was 16 (just one hole per ear, a long time ago!), and haven't had problems. The only problems I've seen for people are if they develop allergies and start reacting to the metal. I'd be glad she doesn't want other things pierced! Jody Herriott, L.Ac.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Hi I think the practitioner's intention when doing anything has alot to do with the outcome of a therapy. This could explain why " nothing " happens to people who do pierce their ears and don't know about the pressure points that they might hit (or not), and the side effects they might trigger (or not). fred > > Jody Herriott [jherriot] > Thursday, July 22, 2004 5:54 PM > Chinese Medicine > Re: *[sPAM]* Ear rings > > > Hi Holger, > > If you're worried about the acupuncture points in the ear, just tell > the " piercer " where you want it done, and place it between actual > points.
