What is Auriculotherapy?
Auriculotherapy is a technique of using points on the skin of the auricle (external ear) to assess and correct various physical, mental, and emotional conditions. Also referred to as Auricular Medicine, practitioners all over the world use this therapy to address pain, addictions and internal disorders with excellent results. Whether used in conjunction with another modality or by itself, auriculotherapy is often effective when other modalities have failed. Auriculotherapy utilizes microcurrent so the intensity of the sensation can be adjusted. Best of all, it is safe, non-invasive and virtually free of side effects.
What conditions can Auriculotherapy correct?
Auriculotherapy is most commonly used for pain control, addictions and cravings, weight loss, and help with mental or emotional problems. Points and protocols exist for the balancing of many internal dysfunctions as well.

How does Auriculotherapy work?
Specific points on the ear have been mapped for the balancing of various dysfunctions. These points, when stimulated, often have positive effects on the target area of the body. The exact mechanism by which points on the ear affect other parts of the body is the subject of ongoing research, and several theories are currently under investigation.
