Dr Emil hey of the Department of Dermatology, Medical University, Bulgaria, studying 521 patients, discovered that most had a different combination of tender auricular acupoints (acupoints on the ear).

The results indicated that auricular acupuncture offers a unique method of determining underlying caustative factors in the various forms of alopeciaThe treatment may be used in conjunction with other methods of treatment and that when it is used to treat the condition, treatment should be directed to the tender acupoints rather than on a standard list of points.

However, the main benefit of this research is that it points the way for-ward and offers hope to alopecia sufferers by providing the information required for future research into auricular acupuncture treatment on patients suffering with alopecia.
