🔎 What is auriculotherapy?
Auriculotherapy is a therapeutic technique inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine and developed in Europe, which involves stimulating specific points on the ear.
The ear is considered a complete map of the human body: each area corresponds to an organ, a function or a region of the body.
👉 By stimulating these points (needles, seeds, laser or pressure), it is possible to act at a distance on various disorders.
🧠 How does auriculotherapy work?
Auriculotherapy is based on a close connection between the ear and the central nervous system.
Stimulating the ear points makes it possible:
- to send signals to the brain
- to regulate the nervous system
- to rebalance certain physiological functions
👉 It acts in particular on:
- stress and emotions
- pain
- hormonal imbalances
- circulation
