AURICULOTHERAPY
IN TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE
Auriculotherapy at la Clinique Naturelle with Eric Zhao, and Chunhui Yu Bangerter (Helen) ASCA and RME certified therapists.
What is auriculotherapy?
Auriculotherapy is a technique used in Traditional Chinese Medicine aimed at stimulating specific points located on the external ear to address certain energetic imbalances. Indeed, there are approximately 250 acupressure points on our ear, each corresponding to different parts of our body. Through the ear, we can represent the technical mapping of the organs of the human body.
How does auriculotherapy work?
The practitioner will apply pressure to one or more areas, based on the ear mapping, using small seeds of Vaccaria (derived from the Vaccaria plant).
These small seeds will be protected by tiny flesh-colored adhesive patches and left on the patient’s ear. Through gentle daily manual stimulation, they will ensure that the therapeutic effect persists for several days between sessions.
