Auriculotherapy is a form of acupuncture that uses tiny needles to treat specific points in the ear. It is primarily used to treat pain, pressure and other conditions of the head, neck and shoulders.
Auriculotherapy sessions usually last about an hour. Needles are left in place for five to ten minutes while you relax on a massage table or chair. The needles are then removed and the process may be repeated several times during the treatment session.
Auriculotherapy is a natural and effective method for treating chronic pain and general health. The result is an increased level of well-being and a reduced risk of illness.
Auriculotherapy has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of conditions ranging from migraines to insomnia, as well as many other common ailments. It can be used alone or as a complement to traditional medicine.
Because auriculotherapy treats the whole body through points on the ears, it can help relieve many types of pain and stress-related problems, such as migraines, sinusitis, tension headaches, neck pain or stiffness, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), dizziness, anxiety disorders, insomnia, or sleep disorders such as snoring or sleep apnea (breathing problems during sleep). Auriculotherapy can also be used to treat nausea associated with motion sickness or morning sickness during pregnancy.
