Ear Acupuncture
(Auricular Acupuncture)

Ear acupuncture, also known as Auriculotherapy or Auricular acupuncture, focuses exclusively on the external ear to treat pain, dysfunction, and disease as they appear throughout the body. The auricle of the ear is a full microsystem of the human body. The ear represents all vertebrae, sympathetic/parasympathetic nerves, spinal nerves, visceral organs, the central nervous system, anatomical places, and numerous functional points. More than 200 specific acupuncture sites have been discovered on the ear as becoming spontaneously tender or acquiring skin color changes in response to the presence of disease or injury elsewhere in the body. Inserting fine needles into specific points on the skin of the external ear and stimulating these ear sites, in turn, exerts therapeutic benefits on those parts of the body they represent. Ear acupuncture is commonly used worldwide to treat addictions of all kinds, pain control, internal disorders, emotional issues, and other problems. Whether used in conjunction with another treatment or by itself, Ear acupuncture is often effective when other treatments have failed.
