What is auriculotherapy?
Auriculotherapy — also called auricular medicine or ear acupuncture — works with points on the auricle (external ear), mapped as a reflex system of the whole body.
The problem charts cannot solve
Every ear is a little different. With hundreds of auriculotherapy points, it is practically impossible to remember where all of them are and locate them precisely in practice.
It gets even more complex when you start combining points into protocols. You need accuracy in the moment — point by point, without guesswork.
That is why we built Auriculo 360, a 3D auriculotherapy reference for practice and study.
History
Auriculotherapy is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. In the 1950s, Dr. Paul Nogier of Lyon, France expanded Chinese ear charts into a comprehensive system — the ear as a micro-map of the entire body.
Much of Dr. Nogier's work has been verified in research; both Chinese and European systems build on it.
About the points
Point locations in reference material are approximate — all ears differ slightly. Practitioners locate active points: spots that are pressure-sensitive or found with an electrical point detector, rather than every point printed on a chart.
Practitioners often work with one ear per session. Flip left and right in the software when a chart assumes one side.
- Which points to use: pressure-sensitive points, or points found with an electrical detector — not every point on a chart.
- Which ear to use: the ear with the most active points. Flip left and right in the software when a chart assumes one side.
Stimulation methods
Modern auriculotherapy includes acupuncture needles, pressure, lasers, magnets, and electrical stimulation. Electrical stimulation can both locate active points and stimulate them.
