"Now Hear This" -- Part 3

By John Amaro, LAc, DC, Dipl. Ac.(NCCAOM), Dipl.Med.Ac.(IAMA)

In part one of "Now Hear This" (April 25, 1990), we introduced you to a system of healing known universally as "auriculotherapy." In that installment, we asked you to save the graphic illustrated, as the rest of the series would hinge on the chart of the ear and the various reflex points which were printed in that issue.

If for some reason you failed to keep that issue, send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to my attention, at P.O. Box 1003, Carefree, Arizona 85377, U.S.A., and we will send you an ear chart for your use in this series of articles. A good excuse why you failed to keep it or how you lost it will insure its arrival much quicker than a poor excuse. "The dog ate it," "It blew out the window of the car," or "My brother flushed it down the toilet" will be considered as poor excuses.

In part two (May 23, 1990), the concepts and basic philosophies regarding the practice of auriculotherapy were discussed, as well as concepts of point selection and specifics about certain points. Using the geography approach to finding points will ease your frustrations immensely.

Part three is an incredibly important installment as it covers 92 specific formulae which historically and classically carry a 90 percent success rate or better. These are the prescriptions you will see used in the hospitals and clinics of the People's Republic of China and throughout the world, for that matter. I will be escorting another tour of China next March; watch "DC" for further information.

Auriculotherapy is as simple to use as common sense would dictate. There is nothing difficult about it, especially if you learned its approach from this series of articles.

Remember, auriculotherapy is simply a "this for that system." In other words, you use "this" point for "that" condition.

Don't think for a second it takes someone with an acupuncture background to create a formula for a specific condition. Remember, you studied anatomy, physiology, etc., and are quite capable of using common and intellectual sense to put together formulae from your own thought process, which will be as good as the ones I present to you in these pages.

However, I will admit the formulae I present to you are pretty good to say the least.

Try these formulae on your difficult cases, as well as your easier ones. It makes the difficult ones easy and the easy ones a snap.

Any form of stimulation will suffice; however, my personal favorites are laser, light-emitting diode, electronic, and needle, in that rapidly descending order of importance. Don't have any of the aforementioned? Finger pressure may suffice but nowhere as effectively as the techniques previously mentioned.
