Essential Auricular Reflexes (the EAR Book) discusses and simplifies BOTH Auriculotherapy and Auriculomedicine. For the beginner to advanced practitioner, it presents point detection and treatment using a variety of methods. Needling, massage, the phases, filters and use of various tools are discussed. The taking of the VAS is also covered.

In 3-D diagnosis, both the ear geometry of 30 degree lines combined with the phases and Chinese locations are in simplified chart form for easy diagnosis.

The Pain Management chapter consists of a new treatment for chronic, poorly diagnosed and treated diseases like chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia, and RSD. New international points, needling direction, and hard to find points are included.
