Auricular therapy, also known as ear therapy, has widely been used to treat and prevent many different kinds of ailments for thousands of years from China.  This may involve the use of needles, natural plant seeds, or magnets to stimulate different acupuncture points on the ear according to the diagnosis of Oriental medicine.  

Our ears are considered as micro-systems of our body containing hundreds of acupuncture points mapped out to correspond to the whole anatomical body.  The ear is compared to an inverted fetus with each point named after the body’s internal organs, structures, and functions such as kidney, stomach, low back, fingers, knees, endocrine, and sympathetic.  The outer ear acts like a remote control to the brain with each acupuncture points triggering electrical impulses via the brain to the area of the body being treated. 

The acupuncture points found on the ear can be stimulated to help regulate the body’s internal organs, structures, and functions.  The auricular therapy is powerful and effective enough to be used alone or adjunct to the body acupuncture or herbal medicine depending on the conditions or severity of symptoms.  The auricular therapy can be helpful treating the following conditions:
