Auricular Therapy or acupuncture of the ear is a way to treat the entire body with acupuncture points located on the ear. This alternative medicine therapy mobilizes endorphins and enkaphlins opioid peptides, increases serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitters, and increases levels of substance P and cholecystokinin (CCK).  Auricular acupuncture helps the body in balancing levels of stress and sex hormones. It helps reduce cortisol and glucose levels and allows the body to reduce its overall inflammation level. Auricular therapy modulates neurotransmitters and is very helpful in dealing with substance abuse recovery and mood disorders. Auricular therapy can be used in addition to acupuncture on the body and scalp.

Auricular therapy can include needles, electrical stimulation, laser therapy, or electro-acupuncture.
