Auriculotherapy is recognized by the WHO as“The French Medical Acupuncture“.

Many ailments can be treated with auricular acunpuncture: chronic pain, stress, anxiety, side effects of chemotherapy, digestive problems, tobacco addiction…

To help you understand, we invite you to watch this short video presentation.

AURICULAR ACUPUNCTURE

This is the oldest form of acupuncture. It predates body acupuncture (3000 years old) by 500 years.

Here’s a branch of medicine of which the French should be proud, since it was rationalized by a French doctor, Dr. P.M. NOGIER of Lyon from 1960 to 1990, recognized by the WHO as “The French Medical Acupuncture” and more widely disseminated worldwide than in France (as is often the case with many scientific advances).
This is the most accomplished and effective reflex therapy, as the ear’s rich neurological innervation and proximity to the brain make it the “keyboard” of our cerebral computer. The human body is represented as a head-down fetus.

Each organ or body part is represented by a specific “point” in the ear. As a result, the ear is considered :

• A screen, because all the pains of the human body are displayed in the ear before reaching the brain.
• A keyboard, as the points corresponding to the organs are punctured, immediately sends a therapeutic request to the brain via the neuronal electrical pathway, enabling in-depth improvement in the patient’s pain and symptoms.

In this way, the ear is the touch-sensitive keyboard screen of each cerebral hemi-computer. This therapy, rationalized by the French, is truly innovative. It is considered by the WHO to be the most effective and advanced pain relief therapy.

Here’s a program from France from May 2015 that talks about auricular acupuncture: little by little, faced with the results of this multi-millennia-old medicine, the media are beginning to reveal to the French that there are other ways of treating themselves.

INDICATIONS

All pains

Auricular acupuncture is the doctor’s marshal’s staff for treating all types of pain.

Common pains: back (lumbago, neck pain, back pain), joints (shoulders, knees, hands, feet, Achilles tendons, etc.), arthritic or rheumatic pain.

More severe pain: Sciatica and cervico-brachial neuralgia.

Neurological pain that modern medicine is unable to treat without drugs with strong side-effects: facial neuralgia (Trigeminal neuralgia), vascular algias of the face, migraines.

Finally, all functional pain.

All types of stress

Anxiety, anxieties, phobias, various fears.

Auricular acupuncture helps reduce the number of medications used in depression.

Pre-exam jitters.

Other indications

Addictions: tobacco, alcohol, bulimia, cravings due to anxiety.

Regulation of the neurovegetative system: effective in allergies (hyperrelectivity), algodystrophy (which is a real “sympathetic storm”)

Hormonal balancing: menopause, thyroid, hypofertility.

In the event of dysfunction or pain, the corresponding point in the ear is detectable and appears sensitive to pressure, the more so the dysfunction or pain in the body. Simply treat the point to remotely treat the corresponding organ.

CryoAcupuncture, or needle-free, painless acupuncture.
New technique forPainless cold acupuncture. Needle-free, pain-free acupuncture
In keeping with his commitment to the highest standards of medical practice, Dr. Trotta has recently acquired an ingenious new system based on the latest research in Auricular Neuro Acupuncture.

RESULTS

What are the results of auricular acupuncture?

A placebo effect or real results?

80% effectiveness in 80% of cases after two to three sessions, each spaced 15 days to a month apart. That’s four times more effective than a placebo effect, and more effective than some very powerful and dangerous chemical drugs.

In other words, in just a few consultations, this modern technique can relieve most types of pain, and more effectively than most other therapies, which often do not eliminate the cause but only treat the symptom.

Most stress-related pain and symptoms diminish in the same proportions.

After the first consultation, pain or symptoms are generally reduced by half (50%). The second consultation reduces symptoms by a further 30%. And the third consultation consolidates the improvement for longer-lasting effectiveness and fewer recurrences.

It is generally advisable to return 3 months later for an evaluation consultation.
