Auriculotherapy

Have you been trying to quit smoking for years? Always promise yourself you’re going to lose weight, only to be frustrated by the results? Auriculotherapy from our licensed acupuncturists may help patients solve these problems.

The licensed acupuncturists at Access Healthcare & Wellness use another form of acupuncture to help patients optimize their overall wellness. The practice of auriculotherapy, sometimes referred to as ear acupuncture or reflexology, targets specific points located next to the external ear in order to help the body reduce the effects of nicotine withdrawal and help people stop smoking for good. Additionally, auriculotherapy has also been used to help facilitate weight loss. However, lasting results can only be achieved with a balanced diet and consistent exercise regimen.

Auriculotherapy facts to consider:

• Auriculotherapy is a form of acupuncture that focuses on reflex points of the external ear.
• One must be licensed through the State of Illinois to perform auriculotherapy treatments.
• Sessions are short, and treatments can be performed in as little as 15 minutes.
• Auriculotherapy treatments include the electrical stimulation of these reflex points.
• Side effects of this procedure are minimal to non-existent.
