Dr. Raphael Nogiers approach in presenting the history and the scientific explanations of Auriculotherapy and its efficacy were one of highlights of the meeting, making it easy to follow through the seminar presented by the world’s most famous ear acupuncturist. Raphael Nogier officially started his training in Auriculotherapy in a continuation of his father, Paul Nogier's findings, since 1965. Dr. Paul Nogier was a Lyon doctor known for his life devoted to the discovery and development of auriculotherapy, then what he called improperly " auriculomédecine".
The French Auriculotherap from Lyon, started with ear physiology, its vast function in autonomic physiology and its roles far beyond an external hearing aid. Complementing his lecture with physiologic mechanisms and definitions, Dr. Nogier explained how ear manipulation could regulate many of the adverse bodily functions that lead to disorders like multiple sclerosis, psychological problems etc. His lecture was in times interrupted by audiences request to demonstrate techniques on a tiny ear cast with a small electric stimulator he had brought all down from Lyon.
Surrounded by many students and fellow-members and Dr. Kazemi host of the seminar, Paul Nogier finished his two-hour lecture with a warm invitation of traditional practitioners to his Groupe Lyonnais d'Etudes Médicales (GLEM) association, who have worked to expand the framework of Auriculotherapy within traditional medicine over more than 50 years.
Auriculotherapy techniques are methods primarily therapeutic (for the auriculotherapy) and micro-semiological (for those using the vascular Nogier signal) coupled in their historical and scientific bases for which the ear pavillon is more particularly used thanks to specific physiological characteristics. French medical technique completion different from Chinese acupuncture, it can have recourse to the puncture of points using sterile needles like the latter, from where certain quite comprehensible confusions in the spirit of the general public.The auriculotherapy indeed was developed very little in China, although it existed there for a long time, since until in the years the 1960 Chinese acupunctors knew only one ten specific points. But following a conference made in China by Paul Nogier and the German doctor Gerhard Bachmann in 1956, the first writings in Chinese language born and multiply.
