Auricular Acupuncture

The external surface of the ear or “auricle” is stimulated to alleviate pathological conditions present in other parts of the body. Ear acupuncture points are stimulated using small acupuncture needles, “press” needles or subcutaneous electrical stimulation. Auricular therapy is especially effective for treatment and detoxification of various addictions, including alcohol, nicotine and various recreational drug and substance abuse. Auricular acupuncture is also an effective treatment protocol for food addictions and weight loss.
