Auriculotherapy

What is auriculotherapy?

Auriculotherapy stimulates the outer ear using a probe with a microcurrent stimulus. Various parts of the outer ear correspond to specific parts of the body. Stimulating these points can help restore balance to the body. While auriculotherapy is based upon the ancient Chinese practices of acupuncture, the theory of correspondence of specific parts of the body to specific parts of the ear was first developed in France.
