Another form of treatment that we provide is auriculotherapy. Also know as “auricular acupuncture” it is the stimulation of points on the surface of the auricle of the ear for treatment and diagnosis of medical conditions.

One of the advantages of auriculotherapy is that it can be performed quite quickly, and gives very fast symptomatic relief. Some conditions that are commonly treated with this therapy are:

• smoking cessation
• weight control
• acute pain conditions
• anxiety
• stress
• insomnia

Auriculotherapy can be used in conjunction with body acupuncture, or as a stand alone. Many people find it useful as a de-stressor when they don’t have the time for a full acupuncture session or massage. The brevity of treatment and almost immediate effectiveness make it highly desireable to people on the go.
