Auriculotherapy
It is better to know nothing than to have certain fixed ideas in one’s mind, which are based on theories which one constantly tries to confirm. A discovery is usually an unexpected connection which is not included in some theory.”
Auricular therapy is “probably the most developed and best documented, scientifically, of all the “micro-systems” and is the most widely used.”

What is Auriculotherapy?
Auriculotherapy is an amazing science. The concept auricular is based on is the hologram. Every part of the body communicates with every other part. This communication is either energetic or through the autonomic nervous system.
There is a spot on the ear that corresponds to every other part of the body, and by stimulation of that spot, treatment can occur in other parts of the body. Stimulation can be by pressure, acupuncture needles, or laser.
Dr. Paul Nogier
The correspondence of specific parts of the body to specific parts of the ear was first developed in modern France in 1957 by Dr. Paul Nogier.
The Microsystem Theory
Auricular is one science based on the microsystem theory. Micro-systems act like holograms. Every microsystem has a holographic distribution of acupoints. Each small part of the holographic film contains not just an image of one small section of the picture, but integrates images from all parts of the picture. In the ear microsystem, the body is inverted as a fetus in the womb.
Pathology in an organ is indicated by distinct changes in the skin at the corresponding micro-system point. Localized skin changes may include increased tenderness on palpation, altered blood flow, elevated temperature, changes in electrodermal activity, or changes in skin color or texture. These changes initiate pain relief and healing effects in the same ways that the macro-system functions.
Auricular Techniques
Auricular is done by two very different techniques. The easiest is to use a point finder. This is an electrical conductance meter that identifies points that are different in electrical conductance. If the corresponding body part is out of symmetry, the point will have a different electrical conductance. The practitioner then places a needle in that point. Over the 20-minute session, the needling communicates with the part of the body that needs changing and change occurs.
The other technique which I call auricular medicine–and that which Dr. Nogier developed–is the use of special light filters. The light filters are placed on the body. This elicits an energy in the body which the practitioner can measure by the person’s pulse. Energy is radiating out from the body. By the use of a pointed object brought to the ear, the unbalanced point can be identified and treated, as in the Chinese form of acupuncture. The extra that Nogier’s method gives us is the identification of blockages to healing in the body. This can be something simple like a scar. The scar can be internal as well as external. Any surgery or cut can create an energetic blockage to healing. With auricular therapy, the blockage can be treated, and healing can then occur.
What Can Auricular Do?
Indications for auricular medicine are all pain, functional and lesional disturbances of organs and tissues and allergies.
Auricular medicine helps increase circulation, clears toxic products, brings in nutrients, and heal disease.
