D. Gary Young developed auricular aroma technique, the integration of essential oils with standard auricular technique, after using essential oils in acupuncture applications in his clinic. He found that using essential oils in conjunction with acupuncture was extremely beneficial. He also found that acupuncture stimulation with therapeutic grade essential oils was noticeably greater than either acupuncture or essential oil applications by themselves.
Acupuncture with essential oils seems to enhance benefits both physically and emotionally substantially. As Gary Young left his first clinical practice and began researching, farming, and teaching, he knew he could not continue the practice of acupuncture, so he started developing a simplified technique that everyone could use That technique is called auricular probe technique, using a small, pen-shaped instrument with a rounded end to apply the oils to the acupuncture meridians or Vita Flex points on the ears. This concept can be used in both the emotional and physical realm.
For working the spine and dealing with neurological problems that exist because of spinal cord injury, auricular probe technique was found to be extremely beneficial to deliver the oils to the exact location of the neurological damage.*
Auricular probe technique is a program that Gary continues to research and develop, and teach to doctors. It has shown tremendous potential and will grow to be a well-known modality in the future.
Which Young Living essential oils that are used are determined by what is being addressed either emotionally or physically. The auricular technique is a very gentle and non-invasive procedure.
