FAQ: Frequently asked questions

What is a laser?

The word LASER is an acronym from Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A laser is a source of light that emits extremely pure light. Pure light means light that only has a single wavelength, not an entire spectrum. The light from a laser is very tidy and well – organized. In specialized terminology laser light is described as coherent.

Why it is done on the ear?

The nerves in the skin overlying specific areas of the external ear correspond to specific parts of the brain which has reflex connections to the body. Therefore, the auricle is regarded as a micro-system of the whole body. Almost all health conditions can be affected to some degree by stimulating reactive ear points. The most effective treatment pathway is through the neuroendocrine reflexes. Substance dependence and psycho-emotional disorders are due to the imbalance of the neurotransmitters’ level of the brain. To get rid of substance dependency or to alleviate psycho-emotional disorders, we need to adjust the neurotransmitter levels and bring them back to balance. Stimulating reactive ear acupoints is the most effective and natural approach (compare to chemical drugs, such as antidepressants) to reach this goal.

What is soft laser?

Soft laser acts on precise points using micro vibrations that stimulate the nerve endings. With this technique, all points will be activated as it should, which is not necessarily the case with the needles in acupuncture. Remember that our treatment protocols are proven and stem from our Research & Development Division : these protocols are exclusive to us. Some individuals try to improvise themselves in an attempt to provide such treatments by inventing methods that do not provide satisfactory results.

Are there any contraindications or side effects?

None.

What is Auriculotherapy?

Auriculotherapy is the stimulation of the auricle of the external ear for the diagnosis and treatment of health conditions in other parts of the body. The basic concept in auriculotherapy is that nerves in the skin overlying specific areas of the external ear correspond to specific parts of the brain which has reflex connections to the body. Therefore, the auricle is regarded as a micro-system of the whole body. Because every part of the external ear connects through the micro-system remote reflexes to every part of the body, a wide variety of health problems are relieved by auriculotherapy. Almost all health conditions can be affected to some degree by stimulating reactive ear points. The most effective treatment pathway is through the neuroendocrine reflexes. Therefore, the most commonly reported uses of auriculotherapy have been for detoxification from addictive drugs, psycho-emotional disorders due to neurotransmitters imbalance of the brain (such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, stress), control of appetite, loss of weight, and control of chronic pain.
