Auriculotherapy is a health care modality whereby the external surface of the ear is stimulated to alleviate pathological conditions in other parts of the body. Recent advances in neurophysiology and neuroimaging make it possible to adapt auriculotherapy strategies for greater efficiency, and this book addresses each area of ​​action in the ear and care strategies derived from general and specific properties (biophysical, biochemical, electrophysiological and somatotopic). The specific action of auriculotherapy as a complementary treatment for pain and addictions is presented with specific examples in oncology, smoking and stress management.
