Over the years, ear acupuncture has evolved quite dramatically. The term Auricular Therapy is used when practitioners are trained to treat pain related problems. However, it was soon discovered that the ear is more than just a portal for treating pain in the body.

Pioneers of the system found that deeper imbalances and complex health issues can be corrected using the ear. This more advanced form of Auricular Therapy is called  Auricular Medicine. Specialty products relating to auricular medicine have evolved to help practitioners diagnose and treat complex health conditions.
