Auricular Acupuncture is a unique form of therapy in which different body parts are treated with the help of needles stuck into acupuncture points on the ear. On the outer ear or auricle, needles are pierced into specific points on the ear in order to stimulate the nerves. Electro-Acupuncture therapy can also be given as a way to alleviate longstanding health problems. The stimulation increases the flow of blood on the part of the body whose nerve has been stimulated.
There are about two hundred acupuncture points on the back side of your ear. Each acupoint is named after the organ it connects to. The names include among others the liver, heart, hips, shoulders, and knee. The acupoints on the auricle or outer ear serve as a command post to the brain.
Each acupoint on the outer ear during auricular acupuncture generates an electric signal that travels from the ear to the area being specifically treated through the brain. One instance of this is when the ankle is hurting. Treating the ankle acupoint on the outer ear reduces the infirmities to the knee. A similar principle applies to the other acupoints on the ear.
Auricular acupuncture can be used to help people cure their addictions to alcohol and drugs. Depending on the seriousness of the disease or condition, it is typically performed in a few to several sessions. Needles are stuck about three to five millimeters deep in order to attain the right pang. They then are left in the patient’s skin for about 15 to 20 minutes. During this time, the nerves are stimulated increasing the flow of blood in the body allowing the patient to relax.
