    Extensive Compilation of the French and Chinese Auriculo-Acupuncture Topography for Clinical Use
  

*by Q***X on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 29, 2008*

Based on the 3rd Edition of this manual, substantially upgraded from the 2nd Edition.There are many features I like about this revised text.  The extensive material at the beginning regarding the historical, theoretical, embryonic and physiologic background added for this addition, was quite helpful to me.  An excellent sky view.Oleson's book is written as a comprehensive manual.  It uses 2-dimensional line drawings positioned next to a simulated 3-dimensional ear model to illustrate selected points.  Unfortunately many, but not all points are shown anywhere near the text which describes how they are used and the reader is obliged to do extensive cross referencing with the index to track them.  It might be wise when getting used to working with the treatment protocols to plan on having a set of blank ear diagrams to draw points the point for focus, because on any given page there are several protocols were are not illustrated, their points are not shown incorporated into the adjacent diagrams and even for the highlighted protocols there are extraneous points which would not be used.A vast menu of point options is provided in a mostly well organized manner.  Obviously, available "real estate" on the auricle is limited.  Therefore it is inevitable that duplicate names and purposes exist for the same or nearly the same location.  Frequently these proximities of space and function make sense -- but not always.  He does not particularly address this phenomenon -- there is a complex discussion about why a given point might shift to another location at a different time or phase.I still wish there was more scientific validation of the point actions and outcomes.  However, there are generally very good explanations for anatomical landmarks of the ear and of other body systems that might be influenced. The manual also some case studies and useful clinical forms that could be applicable to other forms of acupuncture as well.  varying nonmedical backgrounds.I was frustrated with a few of Oleson's directions which are awkward to track.  For example, the potential list of points for treating laterality dysfunction is on p. 284 but no nearby illustration (the facing page of illustrations are unrelated).  One has to use the index at the back to find the written description of the laterality point which is actually not on the auricle at all (p 254) and two nonhelpful illustrations (page 256-257.  These drawings locate the point out in blank space presumably representing the side of the face but congtain no meaningful anatomic details or landmarks except "sideburns".  As you might guess, sideburns might be of limited value on faces for at least 50% of the population (i.e. females, and these clients might actually be a substantially greater portion of the seekers after auriculotherapy).  Understandably, the laterality point is off the auricle -- but if listed it would at least have helped to provide location references with respect to the standard acupoint nomenclature.  I was forced to refer to another text by Hecker, et al. to figure out how to locate the point.In fact, I did not rate Oleson's manual with 5 stars, because in the search to clarify one of these out of bounds and mysteriously placed points, (e.g. the "laterality point") I found a great deal of benefit in the book by Hecker, Steveling and Peuker (Microsystems Acupuncture, The Complete Guide to Ear-Scalp-Mouth-Hand, 2006).  Besides having covered more microsystems, it offered more expanded textual information, and contained very high quality photographs of the human ear (many of which were in color).  The vastly improved depth perception of these images and their related zooms rapidly sorts out most of the confusion about point location, particuarly for points tucked away under bumps and folds.  The locations become more "alive".  Hecker, et al.'s book also highlights the differences between practice systems in a more orderly manner (e.g. Nogier's, the Chinese, and other contributors).

    First Do no harm....
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 8, 2016*

I was in the first class of para medics in the state of Kansas, and at that time the Barefoot Doctors manual was seeing its first acceptance. Doctors without portfolio would most closely match the term, but certainly the idea of para medics and the Chinese is minimal. The book (barefoot )is the finest emergency bandaging reference ever put together and is still an incredible resource for anyone in emergency medicine. In disasters you rather quickly run out of supplies and then are forced to improvise.I honestly didnt think much of the accupuncture section in the book until one sunday afternoon i jumped out of a pickup and cracked a bone in my heel. Treatment of that type of injury is pretty simple, bandage, elevation ice rest etc. managing the pain is something else -so after aspirin knocked the leading edge off i went to the Barefoot Doctors manual and with a grand sense of superiority read my first close look at auricular accupressure ... there on the top of the ear clearly visible is a spot which the Chinese believed would stop pain at the source i needed. I used a ballpoint pens clicker and applied pressure to the spot and it was a revelation as the pain simply switched off.The oriental approach to medicine is that the body pretty well heals itself if it can be made aware of the problem, we think we can heal the body with medicines that point out what needs to be done, the Chinese have a huge pharmacopia of wild plants , but the aaproach to waking the bodies healing is  My own revelation happened in 1979 and ive used it ever since to stop  joint pain and discomfort, its still not widely accepted in our "enlightened" culture but should be. the brief coverage in Barefoot is simply eclipsed by this manual. its better organized has a clear concept and ability to specialize in it treatment, Auricular Accupuncture is actually accu pressure -its non invasive, not painful and should be in everyones prepper hoard.Auriculotherapy Manual: Chinese and Western...is well worth the expense , its a great teaching tool that expands the uses of the totally non invasive therapy. It can be used alone or with the tiny sticky backed "seeds " that cover the spots, and it can be used with full blown Accupuncture with the needles, or my favorite electrotherapy pens. This book will expand the healing arts and anyone can use it, obviously you should have some qualifications and understand whats going on.... but its difficult to see how you can violate the first rule of medicine with accupressure centers on the ear...."First, do no harm"

    Great resource for understanding auricular acupuncture. Love the spiral-bound edition!
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 19, 2017*

Very thorough presentation of auricular acupuncture which includes Chinese and Western theories. Dr. Terry Oleson has made an excellent effort but I have a bias towards Chinese medicine and can nit pic here and there about what I consider to be incorrect information. For example, in the introductory part of the book the writer states that in Chinese medicine acupuncture theory there are 12 meridians that run on the surface of the body, but this is not accurate. There are 12 primary plus the Ren and the Du channels. Besides this, the channels are diversified by depth and include divergent (deepest), luo (most superficial), sinew channels, extraordinary vessels, and yin and yang motility and linking vessels. Add the cutaneous regions and minute collaterals and one can see that Chinese medicine theories pertaining to body acupuncture are a comprehensive approach to supporting health and wellness using the needles.My bad for nit picking and I mean no disrespect, but I can't help but comment constructively! There is too much misinformation and incomplete information about Chinese medicine which misrepresents three thousand years of TCM development.The reason I like this book is that Dr. Oleson explains auricular acupuncture very well and I thank Dr. Nogier for developing auricular theory so completely for contemporary acupuncture practice.
