This method is similar to Acupuncture, but concentrates on the ear, which, claim therapists, contains acupuncture points that are linked to various parts of the body. The ear is examined thoroughly to reveal problems in other parts of the body, and some therapists pass a small electrical detector over these points to detect any abnormalities. Treatment, using acupuncture needles or minute electrical pulses takes place on the appropriate acupuncture points. Patients are asked for their medical history, as well general details of their parents' or even grandparents' health.
Notes: Has been used successfully in the treatment of addiction, whether to drugs, alcohol, food or tobacco. Also in the treatment of arthritis, asthma, indigestion, migraine, urinary problems and nervous disorders.
