Lend Me Your Ear -- Treating the Body with Auricular Therapy

Got pain? Trying to lose weight? Have the hiccups? Auricular Therapy, a form of acupressure or acupuncture, provides a scientifically verified means of identifying areas of pain, muscular skeletal disorders and a broad range of medical conditions in the body by observing and mapping the ear. The specific locations that are "mapped" then can be used clinically to relieve pain and pathology in the body through the use of electrical nerve stimulation or by the placement of needles in the appropriate areas. This alternative medicine can also be effective in the struggle to lose weight, in that it can reduce food cravings, control appetite and help strengthen will power. Auricular Therapy is based upon the work pioneered by Dr. Paul Nogier in France. The Clinic's founder, Dr. Hugh Riordan, learned the technique of auricular diagnoses and treatment from Dr. Nogier himself, 25 years ago. Passed on to Dr. Hunninghake, this therapy is one of many unique therapies offered at the Riordan Clinic. Dr. Hunninghake will discuss Auricular Therapy, its background, the technique used at the clinic, and the medical conditions that can be eased with this treatment. ---------- Presenter: Ron Hunninghake M.D. Download: http://riordanclinic.org/videos/lectu... ---------- The Riordan Clinic is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization focused on orthomolecular medicine, health education and health research.
