Auricular therapy is a form of acupuncture that involves stimulating specific points on the external ear.
The ear contains over 200 individual points, each with a distinct effect when microneedles or pressure point stimulating patches are applied.
This type of therapy targets the auricular branch of the vagus nerve, which can influence the vagal activity of autonomic functions in the cardiovascular, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems.
Auricular treatment is known to be effective for various conditions including morning/motion sickness, insomnia, digestive issues, depression, anxiety, stress, and pain management.
