SANTA POLA AURICULOTHERAPY
SANTA POLA AURICULOTHERAPY TREATMENT
La Auriculotherapy It is a technique within the field of painless alternative medicine, it was originally created to treat stress and anxiety but that currently progress has been made in its study and covers the treatment of dozens of pathologies, currently being a widely used technique in physiotherapy.
What is Auriculotherapy?
This alternative therapy stems from traditional chinese medicine, but it was in France where Dr. Nogier verified its effectiveness. It was shown that the ear is a micromap of our entire body whole, it appears as in the form of a fetus in the womb; hence each part of our body is represented by a specific point on the ear. By stimulating a point on the ear, we simultaneously stimulate various nerve endings that produce an effect on the organ related to that point.
Therefore, auriculotherapy is not only used for treat but also helps us to diagnose, since when pressing the points depending on whether they are painful or not, they will inform us if there is dysfunction.
