Auriculotherapy, which has been practiced for thousands of years, is a western variation of acupuncture that focuses on using the ear to help patients with pain management and other needs. It has been demonstrated to aid with a wide range of ongoing conditions, including chronic pain, smoking, substance abuse, weight loss, anxiety, allergies, headaches, and more.

Auriculotherapy is a therapeutic technique that consists of applying mustard/vaccaria seeds or metallic/magnetic spheres to specific points on the outside of the ears. The production of natural pain-relieving endorphins and enkephalins are stimulated, resulting in a better sense of wellbeing and relaxation. This re-establishes the energetic balance of the body.

This therapy has its origins in traditional Chinese and French medicines and is based on the idea that the human body is represented in the ear pavilion, hence each point refers to a specific organ.

Most people respond quickly, safely, and effectively to auriculotherapy. This gentle therapy merely stimulates your body’s own nervous system to produce the desired benefits, as opposed to medicines that might be habit-forming and have undesirable side effects.

After their first or second appointment, many people see a noticeable difference.
