Physician • Author • International speaker • Neurologist • Researcher

Paul Nogier was a physician with the curiosity to question what came before him, in particular the practice of cauterizing the ear for treatment of back pain, and the curious reflex noted by assistants working for the innovator of vascular surgery, René Leriche (1879–1955). 

His curiosity and persistence led to his...
  • mapping of the reflexive somatotopy of the ear
  • presentation of the auricular microsystem as a representation of an “inverted fetus” or “l'homme dans l'oreille”
  • development of the Reflex Auriculo-Cardiac (RAC), also known as the Nogier Pulse, or the Vascular Autonomic Signal (VAS)
  • development of Auriculotherapy and Auricular Medicine, including medical frequencies, Nogier A-G, which are preferentially recognized by the body through resonance thereby enabling a variety of assessments and treatments
