An interesting walk along the streets of Chinatown... And I had my first auriculotherapy intervention.
Auriculotherapy
What is Auriculotherapy?
Many people have heard of reflexology where the systems of the entire body is represented on the bottom of the feet or hands, auriculotherapy is very much the same.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) the outer part of the ear, the auricle, views the entire body and organ systems in an upside down fetus representation.
What can auricular treat?
Auriculotherapy can be used to treat the same body systems as standard acupuncture. This form of therapy can treat not only musculoskeletal issues, but organ system dysfunctions as well as addictions, weight loss, and smoking cessation.
Treatments for addictions, weight loss, smoking cessation are popular options using auriculotherapy.
How is this treated?
By using needles with or without electric stimulation, or vaccaria seeds that are taped to a specific acupuncture point on the ear.
