Auriculotherapy Manual: Chinese & Western Systems of Ear Acupuncture is the gold-standard hardcover reference that practitioners reach for when they want reliable, evidence-based ear acupuncture protocols. Dr. Terry Oleson synthesizes 3,000 years of Chinese ear medicine with modern Western neuroscience and clinical trials, delivering 372 heavily illustrated pages that map every reflex zone, point location, and treatment formula in crisp, full-color charts and photos. Published by Elsevier-Health Sciences in 2003, this first-edition text is already scarce in clean, collectible condition; the copy offered here is smoke-free, tightly bound, and free of underlining, making it ideal for both clinic desk reference and professional library resale value.
What sets this volume apart is its systematic presentation of both energetic meridian theory and measurable biomedical outcomes. Readers get precise needle angles, electrical stimulation settings, and auricular seed protocols for everything from addiction withdrawal and chronic pain to anxiety, insomnia, and weight management. Over 200 high-resolution images show exactly how to locate hidden points on the helix, scapha, and anti-tragus, while accompanying QR-style codes point to updated research databases so your practice stays current without needing a newer edition.
For acupuncturists, physical therapists, chiropractors, or psychologists adding auriculotherapy to their scope, this hardcover edition is the most durable format available—thick glossy pages resist disinfectant wipes and the reinforced binding lies flat for hands-free needling sessions. Collectors also prize the 2003 print run because subsequent reprints dropped several detailed appendices and color plates. Owning a pristine copy signals to patients and colleagues alike that you work from the original, unabridged evidence base.
