Auricular acupuncture, also known as ear acupuncture, is a form of acupuncture that involves stimulating specific points on the ear. These points are believed to correspond to different organs, systems, or functions of the body. By stimulating these points, practitioners aim to balance the body's energy flow, alleviate pain, and treat various health conditions.
Auricular acupuncture is often used as a complementary therapy for a wide range of conditions, including pain management, addiction treatment (such as smoking cessation), stress reduction, anxiety, insomnia, and weight loss.
