Auriculotherapy is a form of acupuncture that focuses on the use of the ear as a localized reflex system connected to the central nervous system. It refers to stimulation of specific points on the auricle of the external ear for the diagnosis and treatment of health conditions in other parts of the body. Stimulation of the points can be achieved using several different methods such as: manual pressure; acupuncture needles; electrical stimulation; lasers; magnets; ear pellets/seeds and essential oils.
