Traditional Chinese medicine considers the ear an extraordinarily powerful nexus of energy through which the entire body can be treated. Chinese Auricular Acupuncture provides students and practitioners with a modern, comprehensive, user-friendly manual on ear acupuncture. The book contains high-quality photos that illustrate common ear pathology and provides instruction on diagnosis. The text also features classical Chinese clinical energetics of ear acupoints interfaced with the most common diagnostic paradigms, as well as detailed discussion of how to construct ear acupuncture prescriptions tailored to the patient rather than the disease process.
