Chinese and Western Systems of Ear Acupuncture
- Curable
Auriculotherapy, one of Gerie Keh's favorite and special programs, is a therapeutic intervention in which stimulation of the auricle of the external ear is utilized to alleviate health conditions in other parts of the body. While originally based upon the ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture, the somatotopic correspondence of specific parts of the body to specific parts of the ear was first developed in modern France.
All systems of acupuncture began with the original Chinese medical text, the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, compiled in 500 B.C. In this text, all six yang(blood) meridians were said to be directly connected to the auricle, whereas the six yin(spirit) meridians were indirectly connected to the ear by their corresponding yang meridian. These ancient Chinese ear acupuncture points were not organized somatotopically, but were arranged on the ear as a scattered array of non-meridian points with no apparent order.
Gerie Keh was first introduced to auricular therapy while in college and she became very interested in it instantly. Her interest was what motivated her to pursue further research into this subject matter. Eventually toward the end of her studies and during her internship, her research work yielded very interesting results. In 1992, her thesis in auriculartherapy was published in Shanghai Physical Education Science Daily.
The programs commonly treated by auricular therapy are:
Stop smoking
Weight control
Drug addiction and
Alcohol addiction

Preventive
Auricular therapy can also be used to detect if the body is prone to any future malfunctions. We are in a joint venture with a group of engineering consultants in the development of a computerized auricular therapy machine for detecting prospective body malfunctions.
If successful, this will result in preventing a great number of diseases such as cancer and others from occurring and treating them in their early stages before they cause harm to the human body.
