Author: MSc. Miriam ReyesThe auriculotherapy is becoming more well-renowned every day. It consists of stimulating acupuncture points which are located on the ear in order to exert different therapeutic effects. Most people are unaware that while Auriculotherapy has been applied for hundreds of years in traditional Chinese medicine, it was in France, thanks to Dr. Paul Nogier, that its effectiveness was proven in the Western world.

 Dr. Paul Nogier discovered that there was some connection between the body’s nerves and the ear. Due to burn wounds on the ear of someone who had them performed by a healer in order to relieve sciatica pain, this motivated and attracted the attention of Dr. Paul Nogier to investigate further. He was later able to relate the stimulation points with different effects in each of the organs. In fact, the acupunctural chart of the ear which we know today was drawn by him, in which the outer ear includes all organs, representing an inverted fetus. 

    Later this therapy would be used for different health purposes, and today is an alternative to which many people turn.
