Ear reflexology, also known as auriculotherapy, is a form of alternative therapy based on the idea that the ear is a microsystem of the entire body. By stimulating specific reflexology points on the ear, you can break migraine pain and promote healing in minutes.Ā

How Many Ways Can Ear Reflexology Relieve Migraine Headaches:
1. Targeting Pressure Points Linked to the Head and Brain
Specific points on the ear correspond to the following:
- Forehead and temples
- Cerebral cortex
- Occipital lobe
- These points are stimulated with gentle pressure of the fingers and thumbs, magnets, or needles (in auricular acupuncture), which may help:
- Reduce head tension
- Alleviate pain signals
- Promote blood circulation to the head.
2. Common Auricular Points Used for Migraine Relief:
Point Name | General Location (on Ear) | Purpose |
---|---|---|
Shen Men | Upper central part of ear | Calms mind, reduces pain |
Forehead/Temple | Lower antitragus | Targets front and side headache |
Occiput | Lower back part of ear lobe | Helps with back-of-head pain |
Subcortex | Deep in ear cavity | Helps with brain and mental clarity |
Sympathetic Point | Inside ear root | Balances nervous system |

3. Calming the Nervous System
Migraine often involves heightened nervous system activity. Stimulating specific auricular pointsā
Shen Men (a calming point often used for stress, anxiety, and pain)
- Sympathetic Autonomic Point – may help rebalance the autonomic nervous system and reduce sympathetic overdrive (commonly triggered during a migraine).

4. Reducing Triggers
Ear reflexology may indirectly help with the following:
- Stress reduction, a major migraine trigger
- Hormonal regulation
- Improved sleep
- All of which play roles in migraine prevention.
5. Releasing Endorphins
The gentle stimulation of ear points can prompt the release of endorphins, natural painkillers produced by the body, which help reduce pain and induce relaxation.
