Why Do We Use Auricular Acupuncture?

The CAMRC primarily utilizes Auricular Acupuncture during deployments, trainings and exercises. Auricular Acupuncture is the insertion of short, small needles into specific parts of the ear to promote relaxation, reset the autonomic nervous system, and allow for the recovery process to begin.
