The
new revision of This enormously popular handbook
combines the theories of Chinese and French ear
acupuncture into one concise treatment plan for
over 250 medical conditions including chronic pain
and addictions. Based on research conducted at the
UCLA Pain Management Center, this book provides
a standardized auricular nomenclature system for
the reflex points and anatomical zones of the ear.
Beginning with a historical and theoretical overview
of auriculotherapy, the text then goes into the
anatomy of the auricle, the auricle zone system,
auricular diagnosis and treatment procedures, clinical
case studies, and protocols for treating various
conditions throughout the body. The text contains
over 200 illustrations, with the most complete collection
of auricular ear charts available, showing the ear
topographically from both vertical and horizontal
perspectives, plus a 2-page full-color insert. There
is a handy index of treatment protocols listed alphabetically
by condition (with page number reference for treatment)
for convenient clinical use, and clinical forms
for patient health history and diagnosis. The 3rd
edition contains more information in every section,
totalling 100 more pages than the second edition,
with revised artwork throughout and updated research
references.
