In auricular acupuncture, the whole body is mapped out on the outer structure of the ear, with different auricular points affecting their various corresponding body parts. Like regular acupuncture, auricle acupuncture can address various conditions. It is commonly and very effectively used in treating psycho-emotional conditions, such as addiction, stress, anxiety, depression, and weight loss. The National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) protocol is used often to reduce addictive cravings and withdrawal symptoms during detoxification.
