Shen Men Piercing - What is the meaning of Shen Men?
The Shen Men point is also known as the "gateway of the spirit". It is believed that this point on the upper middle ear is connected to dozens of energy centers throughout the body and controls overall well-being. Acupuncturists sometimes stimulate Shen Men (without piercing) for clients with anxiety and depression or similar issues. For these reasons, many people believe that a piercing can help alleviate these symptoms in the long term.
