Also known as ear acupuncture, auriculotherapy is a unique technique that involves using points on the skin of the auricle (external ear) through a detection device to diagnose and treat the sources of pain in the body. This practice is special in it’s own way given that it takes a whole-body approach, which goes beyond looking at the symptoms but trying to find the root causes. Some treatments of auriculotherapy include mental illnesses such as stress, anxiety and depression; addictions such alcoholism and smoking; insomnia; skin and digestive problems as well as many more.
