Auriculotherapy, also referred to as ear acupuncture or auricular acupuncture, is a technique based on the idea that the ear is a microsystem that reflects the entire body. Hence, it uses points of the auricle, the outer portion of the ear, to diagnose and treat medical conditions of the body. They encompass pain and disorder related to both physical and mental health, whether used in conjunction with another treatment or by itself. Auriculotherapy is safe, non-invasive, and does not pose any side effects.
Combines diagnosis and treatment
In addition to using auriculotherapy for disease diagnosis, it is also useful for treatment. Clinical experiences have proved that the positive reaction point is also an effective point for treatment.
Widely used in pathology
Auriculotherapy is used to diagnose and treat internal organs diseases and for facial treatments, anti-ageing, and prevention of diseases, along with acute injuries from strains and sprains like muscle spasms, sprained tendons, whiplash, and more.
Minimal side effects
Entirely safe and has virtually no side effects. There is minimal risk of injuring the internal organs and very little chance of infection from the needles in auriculotherapy if performed cautiously.
Effective pain control
Auriculotherapy is often used to alleviate painful conditions and has been part of chronic pain management plans, especially for acute soft tissue injuries and postoperative pain.
