USER REVIEWS
"I bought this book to work on a paper on auricular acupuncture, including its historical development, treatment modalities, important personages and writings, etc. This book was very helpful. It has lots of illustrative pictures to help understand the materials. It has more information on this subject in one place than any other resources I found. "

"My chiropractor recommended this book, this edition as being the best source for acupuncture points and protocol. He has been using it for several years with great success. The book is well-organized, easy to understand and thorough.
I'm really looking forward to using this book for my own health and well-bing!"

"More of a book for a student studying Acupressure rather than just the general inquiry"

"This is a well organized and beautifully presented introduction to auriculotherapy. Helpful features for the practitioner include a lay-flat spiral binding (perfect for the classroom/workshop setting, where one can refer to the book while examining a real person's ear), a colorful pull-out chart (with points clearly labeled and easy to read), and points from both the Chinese and French systems. There's a useful introductory section on the history and theory of ear acupuncture. The points are grouped in multiple ways, so one can easily find points via anatomical location on the ear, functional grouping (body systems and special points), and therapeutic use (particular disorders or conditions). Interesting additional material includes a discussion of electrotherapy and ear acupuncture and suggestions for diagnosis. "

"THIS book is a must have for anyone practicing auricular therapy. It is the best out there, and includes scientific research to back up the theories and techniques which I have not read elsewhere. I do think that the illustrations and organization could be improved in the next edition."
