The Continuation of Paul Nogiers FindingsAuriculotherapy is based on proven correspondences between locations on the external ear and the internal organs and systems of the body. The ear acts like an input/output terminal in direct contact with the central nervous system. Information on viscerosomatic states can be accessed via visual clues, skin electro-conductivity, and pressure sensitivity at specific points. The first part of Raphael Nogiers Auriculotherapy shows how acupuncture needles, magnets, infra-red laser, and electrical frequencies are used in sophisticated and powerful therapeutic interventions that can be highly effective at restoring the homeostatic balance necessary for physical health and mental-emotional well-being. The second part introduces the principles and practice of Auriculomedicine, a true frequency medicine that evolved from Dr. Nogiers auriculotherapy, his discovery of the VAS (Vascular Autonomic Signal) in the pulse and his consequent observations of the diagnostic and therapeutic properties of radiant light frequencies on the skin.The material presented here builds on and updates the work of the authors father, Dr Paul Nogier, who scientifically explored and charted the auricular microsystems in the 1950s. The latter is widely credited with re-introducing the practical application of auricular acupuncture to China in the 1960s where the technique had fallen into disuse. The auricular location charts currently in use in China and the west are largely based on his findings.A serviceable, contemporary work for students of acupuncture as well as practitioners, offering clear and practical information to be applied directly for the benefit of patients.

This book provides a comprehensive guide to the principles and practice of Chinese and Western systems of ear acupuncture, commonly known as auriculotherapy. Exceptionally well illustrated with clear drawings and photos, the book offers an in-depth evaluation of the theoretical underpinnings of auriculotherapy, and gives clear treatment plans for over 250 medical conditions. The ear reflex points presented in this handbook are based upon systematic research conducted at the UCLA Pain Management Center and the extensive clinical findings of medical doctors and acupuncturists in China and Europe. This text provides a standardized auricular nomenclature system for designating different anatomical zones of the ear. Health professionals from a wide range of medical modalities, including physicians, acupuncturists, chiropractors, physical therapists, reflexologists, dentists and nurses, have successfully utilized the clinical procedures presented in previous editions of this manual to relieve chronic pain and treat addictions with success.

Auriculotherapy treatment plans are presented for over 200 medical disorders, including specific treatments for headaches, back pain, sciatica pain, TMJ dysfunction, smoking control, narcotic addition, weight control, arthritis, asthma, & anxiety. The somatotopic correspondence of different body organs to specific areas of the ear are shown in graphic pictures of auricular anatomy & distinct auricular landmarks. An auricular nomenclature system is used to describe master points, as well as specific ear points for treating disorders of the musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, & nervous systems.

uriculotherapy Manual: Chinese and Western Systems of Ear Acupuncture provides a comprehensive guide to the practice of Chinese and Western systems of ear acupuncture. This impressive new edition utilizes 3-D models of the external ear, as well as 3-D anatomical images, to demonstrate the somatotopic relationship between particular parts of the body and specific regions of the auricle. This is the first ear acupuncture text that has incorporated 3-D technology in order to present amazing images of the auricle which precisely indicate ear acupoint positions. The book offers in-depth evaluation of the theoretical and clinical underpinnings of auriculotherapy, describing and illustrating over 200 ear acupuncture points and more than 200 auriculotherapy treatment protocols for clinical discorders ranging from chronic pain to substance abuse to visceral and neurological disorders. There are an expanded number of auricular landmarks that are utilized to guide the practitioner in accurately determining the precise location of hidden ear points on the 3-D model. These landmarks further reveal the varied depth perspectives of the external ear.
