Herbal Remedies

Auriculotherapy is a healthcare modality in which the external surface of the ear, or auricle, is stimulated to alleviate pathological conditions in other parts of the body. While originally based upon the ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture, the somatotopic corespondence of speific parts of the body to specific parts of the ear was first developed in modern France. Its an integrated system of Chinses and Western practices of auriculotherapy.

How medicinal herbs works

The practice of classical acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) includes the insertion of fine needles into ear acupoints as well as body acupuncture points. This approach of stimulating acupuncture points on the ear is a treatment session. Stimulating ear reflex points is a sole method of the acupuncture practice, often found more rapid in relieving pain and more effective in treating substance abuse than body acupuncture.

Side Effects:

The primary side effect of auriculotheraphy is the piercing sensation that occurs at the time needles are inserted into the ear surface or when intense electrical stimulation is applied to an ear acupoint. For sensitive patients ear pellets or ear seeds may be used instead of needles. Post-treatment tenderness usually subsides within a short time. As with body acupuncture, some patients become very drowsy after an auricular acupuncture treatment. This sedative effect has been attributed to the systemic release of endorphins.
