Auricular Therapy

Duties and Responsibilities: Auricular therapy or ear acupuncture is an alternative form of medicine based on the idea that the ear is micro system that reflects the whole body. Physical, mental, and emotional problems are assumed to be treated by the stimulation of the surface of the ear. Like regular acupuncturist, they use needles but a smaller size.

Salary: $38,000 - $137,000

Education: Most Auricular therapists have their Doctorate or Master’s degree, but you should start by getting your Bachelor’s degree. Also you should be a trustworthy, independent, and detail oriented person.

Reflection: I wouldn't want to be and Auricular therapist because I’m scared of needles. Also I would panic when trying to put a needle in such a delicate place like the ear. It takes a long time period of education to get a Masters and or Doctorate degree. You can go for a Bachelors’ but it will not guarantee you making it as an Auricular therapist.
