"Auriculotherapy 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.
The ear reflex points presented in this manual are based upon
systematic research conducted at the UCLA Pain Management Center
and upon the extensive clinical findings of medical doctors and
acupuncturists in China and Europe over the past 50 years.
Scientific and clinical information from the most recent
international symposia of auricular acupuncture have been used to
update the scientific and clinical knowledge presented in this
fourth edition. Each chapter is organized in same basic order,
beginning with an introductory overview, progressing to the main
topics in the chapter, and ending with a section listing a
definition of terms and a set of preparatory sample questions.
The book is concise and clear enough for students yet provides
provides sophisticated clinical approaches to allow the experienced
practitioner to enhance and complement their existing treatment
strategies.
