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.
