Auricular Therapy Impact Factor

Auriculotherapy is a form of alternative medicine based on the idea that the ear is a micro system, which reflects the entire body, represented by the auricle, the outer portion of the ear. Conditions which affect the physical, mental or emotional health of a person can be treated by auriculotherapy in which the surface of the ear is stimulated exclusively. Similar mappings are used in many areas of the body, including the practices of reflexology and iridology. These mappings are not based on or supported by any medical or scientific evidence, and are therefore considered to be pseudoscience. Treatment of these reactive ear reflex points can be achieved by tactile acupressure, by the insertion of acupuncture needles, or by transcutaneous electrical stimulation. Auricular Therapy is effectively utilized to reduce chronic pain and anxiety within a few minutes of treatment and can alleviate the aversive symptoms of opioid withdrawal or reduce the craving for opioid medications.
