Ear Medicine

What is auriculotherapy?

The therapy is based on direct stimulation of the nervous system with a puncture using acupuncture or semi-permanent needles.

Auriculotherapy is both a diagnostic and a therapeutic technique. There is at the level of the auricular pavilion a representation of the different parts of the body and of the organs; this mapping, also called somatotopia, is now well known. The ear is therefore both a dashboard on which we can observe and detect the different deregulated points and a control zone allowing the treatment of points in order to obtain a therapeutic action.
