Auriculotherapy

Auriculotherapy uses gentle stimulation of specific points on the ear to promote balance throughout the body. Based on the same principles as acupuncture—without needles—it supports relief from stress, pain, and insomnia while helping regulate emotional and physical well-being naturally.

Auriculotherapy, sometimes referred to as ear acupuncture or auricular therapy, is a non-invasive, evidence-based method of stimulating specific reflex points on the ear to influence physical, mental, and emotional health. The technique is grounded in the concept that the ear is a microsystem that reflects the entire body — meaning every organ, muscle, and system corresponds to a point on the outer ear. By identifying and stimulating these points, auriculotherapy can help restore balance and promote the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

How It Works

The outer ear contains over 200 reflex points that correspond to different body systems and functions. When an area of the body is under stress or imbalance, its corresponding ear point often shows measurable changes in electrical resistance.

Using devices such as the Pointoselect Digital, practitioners can detect these imbalances with remarkable precision. Once identified, gentle electrical or microcurrent stimulation is applied to normalize the energy flow in those points — helping to rebalance the body’s neurological and energetic pathways.

The Pointoselect Digital is one of the most advanced tools in modern auriculotherapy. It offers:

* Automatic point detection** for precise location of active reflex points.
* Dual frequency output** to target both chronic and acute conditions.
* Adjustable sensitivity and polarity** for customized treatment.
* Ergonomic design** for patient comfort and practitioner accuracy.

This allows for accurate identification and treatment of imbalanced points with minimal discomfort — making it ideal for clients who prefer a needle-free approach.

What to Expect in a Session

During a session, we will gently examine your ear using the Pointoselect Digital to identify points with electrical irregularities. These points are then treated using microcurrent stimulation for a few seconds each. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild tingling or warmth. The process is relaxing, safe, and typically lasts 15–30 minutes.

Clients often report improved sleep, reduced pain, calmer moods, and better focus following treatment. For chronic conditions, several sessions may be recommended to achieve optimal results.
