Auriculotherapy

Auriculotherapy utilizes the external ear's auricle to{" "} alleviate pain, dysfunction, and diseases{" "} throughout the body. The ear's auricle is a complete microsystem representing over 200 acupuncture points related to vertebrae, nerves, organs, and the central nervous system. Dr. Paul Nogier of France developed the concept of somatic tropic correspondence in the auricle,{" "} building upon ancient Chinese acupuncture practices.

Mechanism

Both body acupuncture and auriculotherapy{" "} facilitate natural healing, with auricular therapy becoming increasingly recognized for its diagnostic and therapeutic potential. Although the practice originated in China, Dr. Nogier's work and further research revolutionized auriculotherapy, making it a powerful tool in modern healthcare.

Evidence

Auriculotherapy gained{" "} scientific validation through studies like the 1980 research by Abbot et al., {" "} showing endorphinogenic response. Dr. Nogier's concept of embryological tissue types and hormonal basis formed the foundation for understanding auricular points' somatotopic functions. Auriculotherapy's{" "} efficacy in pain relief and natural healing was demonstrated through increased skin conductivity and Vascular Autonkmic Signal (VAS) response.
