‘The ear is the mirror of the whole body…stimulating points on the ear helps in balancing disorders of the mirrored part/organ’
Auriculotherapy is a diagnostic and therapeutic system of medicine. The basic concept proposed in auriculotherapy is quite complex. It states that nerves in the skin overlying specific areas of the external ear correspond to specific parts of the brain which has reflex connections to the body. Thus the ear mirrors the illness on its planes thru Organo-Cutaneous Reflexes which are activated when organic pathology in a specific part of the body induce reflex reactions in the external ear. They manifest as localized changes in tenderness, altered blood circulation, and electrodermal reactivity.
For treatment, when the auricle is stimulated thru specific points, Cutaneo-Organic Reflexes are activated on the auricle to relieve organic pathology in another part of the body. It is achieved by the insertion of special acupuncture needles on the surface of ear reflex points. Specific points on the ear can be stimulated by electrical currents, manual pressure, or by lasers, magnets, and ear pellets.
