A member asked:

Can auriculotherapy work for all addictions or just smoking?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Probably none: Auriculotherapy is promoted by lots of questionable practioners for everything online. The truth is that there is very little evidence to support that it does anything. There are other techniques that are much more evidence driven for addiciton. Look up auriculotherapy on quackwatch.Org for more information.
