During an acupuncture treatment, we often add points on the outer ear, also known as the "auricle." Supporting health by stimulating points on the outer ear is also called "auriculotherapy."

Why the ear? There's a point for every part of the body, just in the ear! Auricular points include inner organs and different parts of the brain.

There are also "functional" points, such as points for insomnia, high blood pressure, and appetite.

You can use press balls or ear seeds on these points at home. Ask us about our DIY Ear Seeds Kits!

🗓️ BAP is open
Saturday, Dec. 20 from 10am-2pm
Monday, Dec. 22 from 3-6pm
Tuesday, Dec. 23 from 9am-12pm

😴 We're closed Wednesday, Dec. 24 through Friday, Jan. 2

🎉 We'll be back Saturday, Jan. 3, 2026! Happy Holidays!

If you're reading this, let know why we should win in the

Founded by neighbors already working to confront health inequities, we opened Boston Acupuncture Project (BAP) in a historic Hyde Park storefront in 2018. BAP is currently the City of Boston’s only dedicated community acupuncture clinic, and the Commonwealth’s only nonprofit community acupuncture clinic.

Acupuncture is a low-risk, evidence supported treatment for physical pain and mental health. Community acupuncture is offered in a group setting. Benefits of sharing treatment space include lower prices, the ability for friends and family to be treated together (often less intimidating for first-timers), and an atmosphere of infectious relaxation.

Ever catch someone else’s yawn? That’s what group treatment is like. The collective energy in the treatment room can make individual treatments more powerful.

For seven years, we've offered sliding scale community acupuncture. We now have a Pay It Forward Fund for those who can’t afford our regular sliding scale of $30-$60.

Our acupuncturists have provided over 9,500 treatments, including more than 400 free sessions.

BAP is ready to strengthen its infrastructure and expand capacity to deliver accessible, community-rooted healthcare.
