Ear acupuncture has proven to be an efficient, inexpensive and quick method of treating a wide variety of conditions, from headaches and allergies to addictions and gynecological disorders. A novelty to the international market both in concept and realization, this pocket atlas allows the reader to both effectively learn and quickly reference ear acupuncture points. Clear, simple images accompany concise and 'to-the-point' texts creating an educational tool for the localization of ear acupuncture points. The resourcefulness of the book is increased by the inclusion of the projection of the body meridians onto the auricle according to Bahr. 'Prescriptions' of point combinations according to some indications are also included. The reader will profit from the extensive international teaching experience of Beate Strittmatter. Through her former teacher, Frank Bahr, who cooperated directly with Paul Nogier, she stands in the direct tradition of the founder of Western auriculotherapy. Beate Strittmatter conducted her medical studies in Frankfurt and Homburg, Germany, and in Glasgow, Scotland, completing her degree in 1982, afterwards receiving 10 years of advanced clinical training in orthopedics and internal medicine. During that time, she also received training in body acupuncture, ear acupuncture, neural therapy, and manual medicine. In 1990, Dr. Strittmatter established a private practice specializing in pain therapy acupuncture. In her research work, Strittmatter has mapped and refined all of the reflex zones of neurological structures, partially described by Nogier. Strittmatter is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Acupuncture Certification Institute (ACI) in Los Angeles.
