Auriculotherapy is a fascinating and scientifically supported form of treatment where the whole body can be reflected and treated through the ear.

In the first module, the focus is on pain management. You will learn the anatomy of the ear, somatotopy (the body's reflection in the ear) and how the ear map can be used as an effective diagnostic and therapeutic tool.

The course gives you a solid understanding of reflex zones, point localization and practical techniques to treat pain in different parts of the body - including muscle, joint and nerve pain. You'll also gain insight into the difference between acute and chronic pain and how to treat them differently.

The course is aimed at both those who are new and want to learn how to treat, and those who already work as a therapist - such as an acupuncturist, masseur, reflexologist, psychotherapist, nurse, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, midwife or doctor - and want to expand their toolbox with auriculotherapy.

The Basic Auriculotherapy course consists of 3 modules. We recommend attending all three to gain a holistic understanding of the ear and this effective treatment. After the three modules, you will have a solid foundation to work independently with Auriculotherapy - and you can then choose to specialize further on theme days or immerse yourself in advanced areas such as AuriculoMedicine or Auriculotherapy with a focus on the mind.
