By Therapy - Auriculo

The ear: the interface between the body and the brain

Auriculotherapy is primarily based on somatotopy, which establishes a correspondence between the outer ear and the central nervous system via the brainstem.


Indeed, the ear contains ‘Neuro-Vascular Complexes’ (NVCs), the stimulation of
which has highly complex effects – not only neurological
but also neurosecretory, immunological and vascular.
Contrary to what is most commonly believed or imagined,
auriculotherapy does not have its origins in acupuncture, as it is not
based on the concept of energy so central to traditional
Chinese medicine. Furthermore, an acupuncture point exists permanently,
whereas in auriculotherapy, the point is only detectable in the event of
an underlying symptomatic condition (excluding master points).
