Auriculotherapy Map

In recent years, we have taken the fundamental aspects of Chinese medicine and improved the quality of life. The influence of both trends, the east has lost the magical and superstitious practices and permeates all the West has overcome this need to believe only what it touches.

The aurticuloterapia is the technique by which it is diagnosed and treated various diseases by stimulating points located in the ear. In this way the ear is a somatotopía, ie a place which reflects the whole body (such as in the hands, feet, eyes, skull, forehead, nose, tongue, nasal turbinate mucosa and a triangular area the neck).

As a technique is ancient, but Dr. Nogier in the 60's, who begins to implement it as a technical office work

According to some authors its therapeutic action is justified by a reflex stimulation mechanism, given the wealth in the innervation of the ear. According to traditional Chinese medicine, is explained by the connection between the auricle and the internal organs through the meridians.

In the auricle is reflected the image of a fetus. The fetus is oriented with the head down to the level of their lobe, while the remaining points are located along the ear.

Losing a body region its physiological balance (health), the points are altered, even in prolonged illness, redness or formations appear scaly. At points where there is a pathology, there is a lower electrical resistance than the surrounding skin, hence detectors make another sound points on such sites. Since each point can have a diameter of 0.1 to 0.3 mm, can be hundreds of points.

The fact that the auricular points exist only in situations of pathological change is the key to be used as diagnostic

After a physical or mental effort is no or little success due to insufficient usable energy. The same thing happens in patients taking high doses of psychotropic drugs, in hereditary diseases, in endogenous depression and schizophrenia, in pains are an indication for surgery, eg appendicitis, infectious disease and sexually transmitted infections, in severe anemia, in degenerative disorders affecting the spinal cord in demyelinating diseases.
