Abstract
Auriculotherapy, Ear Acupuncture
– The Practitioner’s Guide by Jim
Chalmers stands alone as the first textbook in English to describe in detail,
stage-by-stage, the skills necessary to become proficient and achieve
consistent clinical success with Auriculotherapy.
It
integrates the pioneering discoveries of Dr Paul Nogier (the man described by
the Chinese as the Father of Modern Ear Acupuncture) with traditional aspects
of Chinese Medicine, allowing practitioners to discover highly effective,
functional approaches that are not generally taught in TCM colleges.
Various
diagnostic approaches are explored. These include palpation, observation and
electrical detection of points. Emphasis is placed on a detailed description of
Dr Nogier’s seminal discovery of the Vascular Autonomic Signal (VAS) and on
techniques to easily identify it. The
VAS is usually reserved for practitioners of Auriculomedicine, an advanced
development of Auriculotherapy, however, using the VAS is the ideal approach in
Auriculotherapy to locate active auricular points and its intimate link between
practitioner and patient significantly changes the dynamic of an
Auriculotherapy treatment. Also
clearly explained are powerful protocols to address blockages to healing, the phases
and auricular point hierarchy. Integrating these modern discoveries with TCM
creates a powerful synergy and affords a deeper understanding of the European
pathophysiological system of Auriculotherapy.
Additionally
this practitioner’s guide lists the actions of significant auricular points
from both the original French tradition and Chinese discoveries. It provides suggestions
for addressing a range of conditions including a special section on the
treatment of PTSD. Practitioners will discover ways to make Auriculotherapy a
first-line stand-alone treatment and/or incorporate highly functional aspects
of ear acupuncture to support a TCM body treatment.
The
text is enhanced with a number of interesting anecdotes from the author’s
clinical experiences and includes over a hundred detailed charts and
illustrations in nineteen chapters. Auriculotherapy,
Ear Acupuncture - The Practitioners Guide, fills a long awaited
demand.
