Modern Chinese Ear Acupuncture

Ear acupuncture is a tool in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of conditions and complaints. While written for clinical application, this book also asserts that the techniques are simple and safe enough for home application. Ping, who is trained in both Western and Chinese medicine, begins by examining the history of ear acupuncture and descriptions of the various areas of the ear and how they relate to other parts of the body. In her listings of 132 conditions treatable by ear acupuncture, she includes directions, case studies, and contraindications. Distributed by Redwing Books.
