AURICULAR [EAR] ACUPUNCTURE

Auricular acupuncture is a therapeutic technique that involves stimulating specific points on the ear. It is a safe, minimally invasive method that can be used alone or in conjunction with other Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) modalities and conventional healthcare approaches.

This form of acupuncture has demonstrated effectiveness in addressing a wide range of conditions. It is particularly beneficial for relieving pain, calming the nervous system, treating allergies, regulating hormonal imbalances, manage both acute and chronic pain and in alleviating symptoms associated with withdrawal.
