In 1957, Nogier, M.D., published the first paper in the German Journal of Acupuncture. He proposed that the distribution of auricular acupuncture points was roughly like an inverted fetal “auricular treatment point map” based on the pressure-pain method of localization. This marked the beginning of modern auricular acupuncture. Compare this ear point diagram with the embryonic diagram below to see if they are similar. Naugir proposed that the distribution of ear points is like that of an inverted fetus in the mother’s body: head down, buttocks up. The main rules of distribution are: the points corresponding to the head and face are in the earlobe; the points corresponding to the upper extremities are in the ear boat; the points corresponding to the trunk are in the opposite ear chakra, and the points corresponding to the lower extremities are in the upper foot of the opposite ear chakra; the points corresponding to the internal organs are in the ear nail boat and the ear nail cavity; the points corresponding to the digestive tract are around the foot of the ear chakra In 1975, Nogier and his student Bourdiol et al. published In 1975, Nogier and his student Bourdiol published a more detailed atlas of the distribution of auricular points, projecting the muscles, bones, nerves, blood vessels, and internal organs of the whole body onto the auricle. Since then, one of the two major international schools of thought has evolved: the French model of auricular acupuncture. The other major school is known to everyone without saying: the Chinese model of auricular acupuncture. Although they have some differences in the positioning, naming and clinical theoretical guidance of ear acupuncture points, they both started from the research results of Dr. Nogier and belong to the same modern ear acupuncture.
