Auriculotherapy is the stimulation of the auricle of the external ear for the diagnosis and treatment of health conditions in other parts of the body. Compared to auricular acupuncture, which is done by inserting acupuncture needles on the surface of the ear, auriculotherapy is done with electrical stimulation on the surface of the ear flex point. Specific points on the ear can also be stimulated by manual pressure such in the case of auricular acupressure or ear reflexology. Today, acupuncture points in the ear can also be stimulated with ear pellets, magnets, and lasers.
What conditions can most be helpful with auriculotherapy? The external ear is connected with the micro system (whole body connection in the ear) which can stimulate other parts of the body; thus a range of conditions can be alleviated with auriculotherapy. Many conditions can be affected to some degree by the stimulation of ear reflex points.
The most common usages reported have been for the control of chronic pain, drugs addiction detox, weight loss, quiting smoking, reduction of nausea, and hypertension.

This is the microsystem that is represented in the ear.

Ear acupuncture is also known as auricular acupuncture and is commonly used as a treatment in many patients with various disorders.
