Auriculotherapy is a health care modality whereby the external surface of the ear is stimulated to diagnose treat pain and medical conditions of the body alleviate pathological conditions in other parts of the body. The discovery of this therapy is partially based on the ancient Chinese practice of body acupuncture, yet it is also derived from the discoveries by a French physician in the 1950s. Dr. Paul Nogier and colleagues demonstrated that specific areas of the external ear were associated with pathology in specific parts of the body.
Auricular Medicine can be used to treat a variety of physical conditions and addictions including cancer, weight loss, PTSD, and smoking cessation, pain management, hayfever, and sinus problems. Whether used in conjunction with another treatment or by itself, auriculotherapy is often effective when other treatments have failed. Best of all, it is safe, non-invasive and vitrtually free of side effects.
How long do the benefits of Auriculotherapy last?
The range of responses to an auriculotherapy session are quite varied, but it is common that a patient suffering from severe pain will notice mild to marked reduction of their complaint on the very first session. This reduction in their pain experience can actually improve for the next several hours after treatment, but the benefits often begin to subside several days after the first treatment. With each successive treatment, the degree of pain relief usually becomes more and more prominent and the duration of pain relief progressively extends from several days to several weeks. With smoking cessation and drug detoxification, the benefits of auriculotherapy can last several weeks after just one or two auricular treatments
How many treatment sessions are needed to help patients?
There is no set number of treatments for any health condition treated by auriculotherapy, but it is common that the severity of most conditions are moderately reduced by four to six sessions and greatly alleviated by eight to twelve sessions.
Is it painful?
Auriculotherapy is generally very comfortable. Electro-stimulation is usually the method used and feels like a very mild electrical sensation.
How quickly can I expect relief?
Auriculotherapy often produces very rapid effects. Some treatments take effect immediately, while others are cumulative in nature, become increasingly effective with more treatments.
