Course Descriptions

This course focuses on auricular acupuncture theory, point location and techniques. Students learn the physical structures of the pinna (external ear or auricle), locate auricular acupuncture points on the auricular surfaces, and learn the therapeutic and diagnostic applications of those auricular acupuncture points. Students learn how to assess patients and apply auricular acupuncture to specific disorders, both as an independent modality and in combination with channel-based acupuncture treatments. Both Chinese and Nogier auricular systems are covered. Prerequisites: ACM5323, ACM5412 ACM5323, ACM5412
