Dr. Michael Smith posted an interesting observation on the Huffington Post Blog. He notes that ear acupuncture can be useful for treating addictions because of the following reasons:

1. As a non-verbal intervention, it helps in reaching resistant patients. 

2. It reduces anxiety and agitation while facilitating calm and receptive behavior. 

3. It helps develop an inner meditative core in even the most troubled and fearful persons.
