Auriculomedicine is a reflex method based on modifications of the Nogier pulse in response to stimulation.
Discovered by Dr. Paul Nogier the auriculomedicine was based on his experience with acupuncture and auriculotherapy. Dr Nogier began to take his patients' pulse while examining their ears and he demonstrated variations of the pulse when he touched different zones of the ear (pulse later called VAS).
Extending his research on the pulse, he tested many forms of stimulation (magnets, colors, various substances, etc.), and showed that the body is sensitive to 7 laser frequencies. These frequencies were called the Nogier’s frequencies and they are nowadays used for both diagnosis and treatment in medical and acupuncture practice.
Nogier's most important disciple is Prof. Frank Bahr of Munich, who studied with him and Dr. Bourdiol. Later on, Dr. Nogier et Dr. Frank Bahr showed that the ear has a so-called Somatotopy, meaning that the whole person is represented on the ear, including anatomical, psychic and functional points. That’s how the Auriculomedicine was born, with which it is possible to diagnose and to treat the patients holistically.
