This handbook combines the best work of Chinese and French systems of ear acupuncture - auriculotherapy.

This text provides a standardized auricular nomenclature system for designating different anatomical zones of the ear. Each ear reflex point is represented by both a number and an auricular zone location. Treatment plans are listed for over 250 medical conditions, and health professionals from a wide range of backgrounds - medical doctors , chiropractors, acupuncturists, physical therapists, reflexologists, dentists and nurses - have applied the detailed principles in this manual in its previous editions to successfully relieve chronic pain and treat addictions.

About this title

Review

Janine Norris, University of Westminster, July 2004
"The third edition of this well researched book provides a fascinating insight into the historical development of auriculotherapy. Olesen utilizes his neuroscience background to comprehensively describe the concepts and theories appertaining to the various microsystems within the discipline. Olesen brings together western neurophysiological concepts and oriental energetic concepts, both systems are treated as clinically valid and therapeutically useful. The work will be an invaluable reference source for all practitioners of auriculotherapy."
