The ear is the science that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of disease by stimulating the ear of the energy points corresponding to the diseased organ. Like acupuncture, is based on traditional Chinese medicine and the flow of energy through the body through meridians.
Acupuncture and Auriculotherapy

Acupuncture aims to correct the course of disease, restoring the flow of energy in the body, while the auricular therapy works only on the diseased organ. Another difference between the two treatments lies in the detection of energy points, while acupuncture is always detectable, the active sites of the ear only appear when there is an associated disease.

Because of all these means of auricular therapy is recommended for people who are afraid of needles.
