Abstract

---

Modern auricular acupuncture was developed by Dr. Paul Nogier of France approximately 70 years ago, but its roots are in traditional medicine. The publication of Nogier's work led to great interest in China. The enthusiasm for auricular acupuncture in European and Asian countries ultimately led to the recognition of auricular acupuncture internationally by the World Health Organization. Nevertheless, as in the world of acupuncture in general, there exist similarities and differences between specific auricular styles. It is interesting to compare French and Chinese auricular approaches to patient care. This talk will explore the theory and practice of auricular acupuncture in its modern and traditional adaptations.
