Auricular Therapy for Nervous System and Systemic Regulation
Auricular therapy is a therapeutic approach that involves stimulating specific points on the outer ear believed to correspond to structures and systems throughout the body. It is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and neurological reflex concepts, with the ear considered a microsystem that reflects the whole body; stimulating these points may influence the nervous system, pain processing, and physiological regulation.
Practitioners worldwide use various methods — including needles, ear seeds, acupressure, low-level laser, or electrical stimulation — to activate these points. Evidence and clinical use suggest potential benefits for pain relief, stress and anxiety reduction, improved sleep, and support for recovery from addiction and emotional challenges.
