What is auriculotherapy?
A form of Chinese acupuncture, auriculotherapy uses meridian points found in the ear to channel the body’s energy into healing.
Auriculotherapy uses acupuncture meridians found in the ear to connect to the body organs and systems. Thirty reflex points found in each ear affect other body parts when they are stimulated. In 1989, auriculotherapy was recognized by the World Health Organization.
Auriculotherapy is useful in controlling and treating dyslexia and pain.
| What
tools are used? Auriculotherapy normally uses needles similar to acupuncture needles that are a half inch to one inch long. As well, some auriculotherapists use laser acupuncture machines, pressure metals, and pressure seats as alternatives to needles. In laser auriculotherapy, the pulse rate is measured as a laser is shone in the ear, in order to determine where the body is feeling stress. |
