Unraveling Auriculotherapy
Go from your first ear point to a ready-to-use protocol: understand the reasoning, find every point on clear maps and apply 53 step-by-step treatments, safely.
- ✓A 95-point atlas with maps drawn region by region
- ✓53 protocols with a map, clinical rationale and warning signs
- ✓Printable forms: assessment, session log and consent
Knowing where a point is isn't enough. You need to know which one to use.
Most auriculotherapy material gives you a chart full of points and a list of recipes. Then, in front of a patient, the same questions come up:
This patient has low back pain and can't sleep. Which protocol do I start with?
The point on the chart isn't tender. Did I put the seed in the wrong place?
How many points? Which ear? For how many days?
This guide was rewritten from scratch to answer exactly that. It teaches the reasoning behind every choice, so you can treat safely even the patient who doesn't fit any protocol.
What changes in your practice
Locate points with confidence
By the landmarks of the ear and by tenderness, not by memorised millimetres.
Build your own prescription
With the five-layer method: opening, area, organ, function and reactive point.
Apply ready-made protocols
For pain, anxiety, insomnia, digestion, women's health, rhinitis, migraine, smoking and more.
Choose the right technique
Massage, seeds, laser, needles, electrical stimulation or bloodletting, according to the patient and your scope of practice.
Treat safely
Recognising contraindications and red flags, and knowing when to refer to a physician.
Track your patients' progress
With an assessment form, a session log and reassessment at every visit.
What's inside
New, readable maps
An ear drawn from scratch, region by region, with numbered points linked to the tables.
From 14 to 53 protocols
Organised by system: pain, mind and sleep, respiratory, digestive, metabolism, women's health, urinary, skin and head.
Chinese Medicine made simple
Yin and Yang, the Five Elements and the organs explained with tables and diagrams, linking each pattern to an ear point.
Safety first
Infection control, contraindications, expected reactions and a table of red flags.
What the science says
The evidence by indication, honestly: where it is strong and where the technique is only complementary.
Tools for your practice
Assessment form, session log, patient instructions, consent form and a 20-question knowledge check.
Designed to stay open beside the treatment table
Every region has its map and its table. Every protocol shows the numbered points on the ear, why each one is used, how to apply it and when to stop.
