China's ancient acupuncture techniques have been spread to Japan, Viet Nam, North Korea and other eastern countries for a long time. People in ancient Greece, Egypt and other countries have long noticed the wonderful relationship between the external ear and the whole body.

Ancient Greece: Hippocrates used to treat impotence and male infertility by cutting off the blood vessels behind the ears. He also found that the external ear was related to "depression".

Ancient Egypt: There is a record of acupuncture auricle to realize birth control for women ... The above shows that in ancient times, although the two ancient cultural centers separated by the ocean, both noticed the relationship between the ear and the whole, and both recorded the diagnosis and treatment of diseases through the auricle. Auricular point diagnosis and treatment has attracted much attention abroad, and dozens of countries and regions have applied and studied auricular point diagnosis and treatment. Its application research in various countries has the following characteristics:

France: Acupuncture in China was introduced to France in the17th century. At the beginning of this century, The Real China Acupuncture written by the French Consul in China (published in 1943) greatly popularized acupuncture therapy in Europe, so France was the first country to apply ear acupuncture abroad. The country's doctor of medicine and surgeon Nogil studied acupuncture in his early years and now practices medicine in Lyon. It is reported that at 1950, he personally visited a private doctor. After burning the ipsilateral auricle, a woman's symptoms of intractable sciatica completely disappeared. The folk doctor's treatment method was learned from China who lived in Marseille. After that, Nogil positioned himself with a perforated iron "ear shape" and burned the lower part of the helix with fire chopsticks, which is the so-called special point of sciatic nerve, and treated several similar patients. But he thinks burning auricle is too cruel, and acupuncture auricle can achieve the same effect. After six years of research, auricular acupuncture has been used to relieve various pains and treat diseases such as hypertension, epilepsy, irregular menstruation and writing spasm, which has expanded the scope of treatment. The first paper was published in the March-August issue of German Journal of Acupuncture 1957. According to the tenderness method, the distribution of auricular points is roughly like the "auricular acupuncture point map" of an inverted fetus. Since then, auricular acupuncture has been introduced to Germany and other countries, which has attracted the attention of academic circles around the world.

After 1957, Nogil and his students published many articles in international acupuncture conferences and acupuncture magazines in French and German. There is a magazine specializing in auricular acupuncture in France, and its research and introduction mainly include: (1) the location of auricular points; (2) the problem of gold needles and silver needles; (3) Ear response and its application in diagnosis. 196 1 year, after the map of embryo reflex auricular points was published, 1962 added hunger points, pituitary gland, brain depression points, parietal lobe, hypothalamus, obsessive-compulsive points and so on.

In 1975, Nogil and R. Bourdiol respectively drew a new auricular point diagram of the corresponding relationship between nerves, muscles, bones, blood vessels, viscera and endocrine system in various parts of human body and auricle, and considered that there were sensory disorders in the front of auricle and dyskinesia in the back. 1975, Nogil first reported auricular pulse reflex, also known as auricular-cardiac reflex, at the European Acupuncture Conference in Vienna. 1976 In May, R. Bourdiol proposed renaming this reflection as Nogil reflection.

A.C.R refers to the reflex inclination of the width, intensity and rhythm of the pulse when the auricle is physically stimulated. The obvious degree of this change depends on the characteristics of the stimulated auricular points, but has nothing to do with the intensity of stimulation. Stimulations used to stimulate A.C.R include:

1. Contact-Touch the auricular points with a rubber head, probe or cork.

2. Temperature-Stimulate the ear points with hot and cold stimulation above or below room temperature.

3. Magnetic field-Use a strong magnet to rotate continuously in front of the ear point to change the north and south poles without touching the skin.

4. Light wave —— Select seven color filter slides to make light of different colors irradiate the ear points, or illuminate the ear points with a light probe that can emit seven flash devices with different pulse frequencies. It is generally believed that light wave stimulation has the best effect. Stimulation usually lasts 2-3 pulses.

A.C.R's perception method is: when stimulating the corresponding ear points, the doctor feels the superficial pulse by pulse-cutting. If you feel a pulse change:

Pan (wide), chord (hard), float (shallow), number (fast)-ear pulse reflex is enhanced.

Narrow (thin), moist (soft), heavy (deep), late (slow)-ear pulse reflex is weakened.

After stimulation, it can increase or decrease in the second and third pulse-15 pulse, recover naturally within a few seconds to a few minutes, and then do a second examination. They think that this kind of reflex can be used to accurately diagnose diseases, find out whether a disease is functional or organic, judge whether the patient is sympathetic or parasympathetic, and use positive current or negative current, such as gold needle or silver needle. In the study of action principle, the relationship between auricle and meridians was noticed.

196 1 year, French doctor Naugle imagined that there were two energy channels on the auricle, which were neither blood vessels nor nerves. One starts from below the tragus, turns to the tragus through the earlobe, and then rises along the tragus to the junction of auricle and helix. The other one goes up from the tail of the spiral, forms a big ring along the edge of the spiral and ends at the bottom of the spiral. He believes that these two pipes and their thinner branches connect the sensitive points of the auricle into a whole, and the energy circulates constantly in these two pipes, which can accelerate and decelerate. Massage these two energy channels can affect the whole body and treat many diseases.

French R. Bourdiol pointed out in 1972 that when describing the tragus apex, the separation of the left and right tragus has different functions, that is, the left ear is equivalent to the du meridian, the tragus apex is equivalent to the long strength, and the tragus base represents the gingival intersection, which has a strong effect on bones, ligaments and muscles, and is effective for du meridian diseases such as the back, trunk, head and limbs. The right auricular screen is equivalent to ren meridian, the tip of the screen is equivalent to perineum, and the bottom of the screen represents serosa, which has a regulating effect on autonomic nerves and can treat urogenital diseases, while left-handed people are the opposite.

Germany: German Journal of Acupuncture 1952. Ear acupuncture in Germany was introduced from France. In the early 1960s, it was reported in Germany that ear acupuncture was used to treat migraine with less medication. In recent years, the number of German clinicians studying acupuncture and auricular acupuncture has increased significantly. The "German Acupuncture System" led by Frank and Barr constantly organizes practitioners to study and verify auricular acupuncture therapy, and publishes special issues of auricular acupuncture from time to time. They visited China many times to learn acupuncture and auricular moxibustion.

In the method of stimulating auricular points, Germany and France emphasize the application of gold needle and silver needle. In clinical cases, if acupuncture is ineffective, it can achieve remarkable curative effect, and in some cases, once acupuncture is changed, the condition will be aggravated. It should also be noted that the role of gold needle and silver needle is different. Those with low cell function, such as sciatica aggravated after exercise, or gallbladder disease aggravated after meals, should use the golden needle tonic method; those with high cell function, such as symptoms relieved after exercise and drama aggravated during rest, should use the silver needle catharsis method.

Laser ear acupuncture was first used in Germany, and the beam of low-power He-Ne laser was used to act on ear points instead of ear acupuncture. Because this method has no irritation and discomfort, it is easy for patients to accept. In addition, it is also useful to stimulate ear points with magnetic rods, so that the north and south poles of magnetic rods are alternately close to some ear points, which plays a role in magnetic therapy and treats diseases. In May, 1975, at the acupuncture conference jointly organized by the International Acupuncture Association and the German Acupuncture Association in Bad Humboldt, Germany, an ear acupuncture therapy class was also held. 1976, an academic conference on acupuncture and auricular acupuncture in Germany and Latin America was held in Lyon in May.

Austria: In addition to sorting out and summarizing the data of auricular acupuncture in China and numbering the auricular points in China for verification, there are also people who use color photos to take pictures of the changes in the shape and color of auricles and conduct research on auricle inspection. Ear Acupuncture Therapy, edited by Koenig and Vanilla, introduces the development of ear acupuncture in China in detail, and advocates that stainless steel needles are generally used, and gold needles and silver needles are only used when strong stimulation is needed.

Japan: The first application of auricular acupuncture in Japan can be found in Tian Xiu's article "Ear lobe acupuncture for dacryocystitis", which was introduced in the May issue of Medical Road and Japan 1965. 1960, Nagato introduced the situation of auricular acupuncture in France and China, clinically verified and established the auricular acupuncture research society. From 65438 to 0970, Japanese young doctor Zhang Qian went to Taiwan Province Province to introduce China's ear acupuncture therapy and acupuncture anesthesia materials. 1972 participated in Kobayashi Research Association in Osaka, and studied auricular acupuncture with Kobayashi Liangying. 1975 10 the first Japanese ear acupuncture conference was held in Beili, Tokyo Port Area. Japan has several characteristics in the application and research of auricular acupuncture:

① Ear acupuncture is used to treat various diseases, as well as to lose weight and quit smoking. There are also many stimulation methods, such as filiform needle, electroacupuncture, intradermal needle, ear rubbing, point needling, auricular point iontophoresis and so on. Push M P needle and Showa needle on the needle. M p needle, also known as yin-yang needle. According to the adaptation point, the depth of ear needle is about 5 mm, and the length of ear needle is 7 mm. Zinc-copper alloy needle M is used instead of silver needle and copper-steel alloy needle P is used instead of gold needle. Because the potential difference of M P needle is greater than that of silver needle and gold needle, M P needle also has a strong reinforcing and reducing effect. The needle should be kept for 5- 10 minutes for acute pain and 30-60 minutes for chronic asthenic cold. Showa needle is a shallow puncture of M P needle, and then metal particles (M particles and P particles) are stuck on the needle drawing mark with adhesive tape after lifting the needle. This method has a good effect on low back pain and shoulder coagulation.

② Using the theory of traditional Chinese medicine to guide the application of auricular acupuncture, selecting acupoints according to the theory of hidden images, respectively using M-needle or P-needle for the deficiency and excess of diseases, and paying attention to the technique of auricular acupuncture, the feeling of acupuncture and the relationship between ear and the twelve meridians.

③ Propose new auricular points.

Auricular point liver meridian: This point is called auricular point liver meridian because pressing Shenmen to bulge the helix in the later stage can make the tenderness at the entrance of thoracic liver meridian disappear.

Fatigue recovery point: Ota's family found that due to walking outside and obvious tenderness of auricle at the mouth of ear point in China, fatigue recovered quickly after acupuncture, so it was designated as fatigue recovery point, also known as Ota's first point.

Low back pain area: in the triangular fossa, the back of the fork of the upper and lower feet of the helix is designated as the low back pain area. Parotid point: designated as the parotid point near the earlobe corresponding to the Chinese eye area, formerly known as Adolf. Speed listening point and speed listening channel: In 197 1, according to the sensory transmission caused by pressing the "speed listening point" in the middle of the eardrum and connecting the points on the auricle that can increase hearing, a line is drawn from the back of the helix up, around the helix to the tragus, and back to the tragus from the lower edge of the tragus through the inner side of the tragus, which is called "speed listening channel".

④ The principle of action was studied.

Yongji of Japan believes that auricular points should be understood from the process of embryonic development. Japan also attaches great importance to the relationship between ears and meridians. 1972, Kishi of Ishikawa reported that he and Kuro Fujita had conducted experiments on the main meridian of rabbits, and thought that there were the twelve meridians in the ears, but no specific experimental methods were found. Later, it was found that after stimulating the original acupoints of various meridians in the human body for one minute, the acupuncture sensation entered the ear through the auditory camp. From the hearing palace, palpation can be used to check the reaction of yin meridian in front of auricle and yang meridian in the back of auricle.

In 1974, Kobayashi Liang Ying and others analyzed the relationship between meridians and auricular acupuncture from the point of acupuncture sensation, and saw that acupuncture at auricular points sometimes caused acupuncture sensation on the corresponding meridians in the body, such as acupuncture at lung points, some people caused pain on the inner side of upper limbs, and some people had a hot air from auricle to the affected limb, and the pain disappeared immediately; In addition, in the experiment of red feather phenomenon in 1954, Hiroshi Nakamura observed the change of red feather index at Zuqiaoyin point of gallbladder meridian before and after a small amount of bleeding in one auricle. Results The red feather index increased significantly in 25 cases, decreased significantly in 8 cases, and had little or no effect in only 6 cases. It shows that the stimulation applied to auricle can make the perceptual sensitivity of distal gallbladder meridian points appear regular influence. This experiment suggests the connection between the ear and the gallbladder.

Li Sheng Beichuan of Osaka Medical University also conducted electroacupuncture at different ear points, and observed the changes of pain tolerance thresholds at representative points such as human body, head and neck, chest and abdomen, upper and lower limbs. It is proved that electroacupuncture at auricular points can increase the pain threshold, and it is seen in the experiment that auricular acupuncture has a certain after-effect on analgesia.

United States: In recent years, auricular acupuncture is popular in the United States, with weight loss, smoking cessation and detoxification as the main treatment methods, and auricular acupuncture has also been reported in the treatment of multiple sclerosis and colitis. Ge Yulan of new york cabrini Medical Center reported that 707 alcoholics received auricular point treatment, 50 patients received treatment for more than 7 times, and 30 patients gave up drinking for more than 2 months.

Song Yuexiang reported that 222 people lost weight by acupuncture and auricular acupuncture at stomach, spleen, pancreas, mouth, Shenmen, hunger point and endocrine point, with an effective rate of 92.5%. The average weight loss per treatment was 65,438 0.60 pounds. At the same time, he also quit smoking in Shenmen, stomach, liver, lungs and mouth with acupuncture and ear acupuncture, and 90 people quit. The United States has the following treatments:

1. Ultrasonic ear acupuncture therapy:

Aim the ultrasonic generator and special output probe at the ear points, adjust the output power to1/4-1/2w, and stimulate each point for 0.5- 1 min. The method can be used for treating asthma, rhinitis, gastrointestinal diseases and dermatoses in more than 15000 people.

2. U-shaped needles are buried in ear points:

Bury both feet of a U-shaped needle into the acupoint at the same time, fix it with adhesive tape, and ask the patient to press it regularly.

3. Auricular point oscillation method:

Based on the principle of electric massage machine, the small probe of oscillator is placed on the auricular points, including those that have been buried with needles and pressed with pills, and the vibration stimulation method is adopted. Each point lasts from 10 second to 1 minute. On the principle of action: put forward the "Delta reflection theory", which was put forward by Korean-American M.H.Cho. He is a physician and once worked as a physiological assistant in a university. He has visited France and Japan many times and studied auricular acupuncture in France and Japan. He likes the "electroacupuncture and body ear therapy" which combines ear acupuncture with body acupuncture. "Delta reflection" is to fix the probe of electronic thermometer on the acupoints such as hand, foot, knee and abdomen of auricle with adhesive tape, one probe at a time. After the thermometer pointer is stable, use cold, heat or needle to stimulate hands or feet, knees and other parts. Within 10- 15 seconds, we can see the skin temperature of the corresponding area and the stimulated part on the auricle.

Judging from the δ reflex pathway, the pathway between the auricle of the visceral center of the body (or other organs and the body) is a bidirectional reflex pathway. This reaction pathway is not only the basic reflection pathway of auricular acupuncture therapy, but also the physiological basis of other acupoint stimulation therapies. Because this reflection map is triangular, it is very similar to the delta in the lower Nile, so it is called delta reflection. From the experiment, it is pointed out that there is a relationship between a certain part of the human body and its corresponding ear acupoint, which is like a key and a keyhole.

1946, American pathologist E.L.Potter observed that some infants with congenital undeveloped kidneys have the characteristics of low auricle, small shape, little soft stomach and horizontal angle at the tip of the ear, and thought that the shape of auricle has a certain relationship with the development of internal organs, which coincides with the statement that "the kidney opens in the ear" in Huangdi Neijing.

Sternlieb's report in 1957, Edgar's report in 1976 and Lichstein's report in1976 all pointed out that oblique wrinkles of earlobe have a certain relationship with coronary heart disease. Study on the action principle of auricular points: The National Institute of Anesthesiology reported for the first time that electric auricular acupuncture can significantly alleviate the experimental withdrawal symptoms of rats and people (injecting naloxone after burying morphine subcutaneously).

Soviet Union: 1959, Karl Schinsky thought in his monograph: "Ear acupuncture is a super-segmental reflex process", and stimulating auricle or nasal mucosa can achieve certain curative effect. In recent years, the clinical application of auricular acupuncture has also been studied experimentally: Gorcher's report on acupuncture at auricular reflex points for the treatment of 7 cases of various eye pains, and V.L.Krichisvili's article "Projection of different parts of human and animals on auricle" published at the Soviet acupuncture conference pointed out that the connection between ear and body is related to sympathetic psychological channels. P.Ja.Gaponiuk and T.Ju.Sher-kovina reported the influence of acupuncture at auricular points on central hemodynamic parameters of 1 14 patients with primary and secondary hypertension and different types of blood circulation at the first acupuncture academic conference of the World Federation of Acupuncture Societies.

Acupuncture at ear points: subcortical, brain stem, kidney, hypertension point, ear tip and hypotensive groove can reduce blood pressure caused by high circulatory tension caused by excessive exercise. Acupuncture at auricular points: hypotensive sulcus, lesser occipital nerve, auricular apex and heart and kidney can adjust the blood pressure of hypokinesia or normal blood circulation caused by rhythm and contractility. Among them, 94% patients' symptoms improved, and 6% patients had no obvious change.

Modern auricular point therapy is widely used all over the world, especially 197 1. After China announced the achievements of acupuncture and anesthesia, many countries visited China to study acupuncture and anesthesia and the application of ear acupuncture. For example, Romanian Bian Ce Donose and Oveglia Banika reported that 100 cases of headache caused by buccal, maxillofacial and otorhinolaryngology diseases were treated with ear acupuncture, of which 80% were relieved and 20% were improved. Kim Jong-chul and others in North Korea reported the clinical study of acupuncture and moxibustion on acupoint reactivity and EEG of patients with concussion. North Korea's Parker Sun Yong and others reported the research on the physiological characteristics of auricular points. They studied the acupoints of auricular acupuncture, its electro-biological activity and the analgesic effect of acupuncture stimulation. The experimental results show that auricular acupuncture can increase the pain threshold and reduce the blood pressure increase caused by pain. The weaker the inhibitory effect of drugs on the central nervous system, the better the effect of ear acupuncture. According to J.K.Chandnani of India, more than 65,438+000 obese patients received ear acupuncture and body acupuncture. After 10 treatment, the body weight decreased by 2-3 kg. After 30 treatments, 80% patients lost 6-65,438+00 kg, and 20% patients did not lose weight. Snbhaon Daeal of Nirmalchandra Sh Tty, India, reported the application of ear acupuncture in relieving postoperative pain in children. 129 cases were buried in the hilum, subcortical, lung and corresponding acupoints. As a result, they get good analgesia, sedation and sleep, and there are no side effects. Compared with application and analgesic drugs, auricular acupuncture is more effective. The pain can be relieved immediately after the patients with ineffective painkillers switch to ear acupuncture treatment. Led Rich。 T. Cheung, a Canadian acupuncture society of traditional Chinese medicine, reported that electrical stimulation of bilateral ear points: sympathetic, lung, Shenmen and subcortical can prevent smoking habits.

Auricular point diagnosis and treatment has been applied in dozens of countries. This paper studies the specificity of auricular points, the relationship between auricular points and meridians and viscera, and the mechanism of auricular points. Moreover, the research also pays attention to multidisciplinary cooperation, and the diagnostic methods and treatment methods are increasing day by day, each with its own characteristics, which can be used for reference. However, auricular points originated in China. We should not only learn from the advanced experience of foreign countries, but also strive to give full play to our precious medical heritage and make greater efforts to develop the cause of ear acupuncture!

I don't understand it myself, but I found some reference materials for the landlord
