Neuromodulation via ear acupuncture and ear acupressure

A new, evidence-based book that demystifies ear acupuncture by explaining the complex network of nerves that carries signals from the ear to the brain. The book explains how ear acupuncture, ear acupressure (using press needles, ear seeds, or magnetic pellets), and transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) modulate neurotransmitters and hormones to help relieve pain and other physical symptoms, support immune function, and promote psychological well-being.

The book is a comprehensive textbook on ear acupuncture and ear acupressure. The book provides treatment recommendations for pain, migraine, sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, neurological disorders including epilepsy, withdrawal symptoms, allergic rhinitis, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, as well as gastrointestinal, urological, gynecological, and pregnancy-related conditions. The treatment recommendations are based on research, with references to hundreds of scientific articles, and include the level of evidence for each symptom. Finally, the book discusses the rationale for using ear acupuncture and ear acupressure as complementary therapies within conventional healthcare. The book is a valuable resource for nurses, midwives, physiotherapists, physicians, other healthcare professionals, acupuncturists, and healthcare decision-makers.
