CIAM MENTORSHIP IN AURICULAR PRACTICE

Q&A on COVID-19

Scientific journals such as Frontiers in Physiology, Frontiers in Neuroscience, the Journal of Physiology, and the Bioelectronic Medicine Journal are presenting papers showing links between vagus nerve stimulation and anti-inflammatory effects to support in the treatment of COVID-19.[1-4] Some of these papers[1][4] align with findings of Nadia Volf et al. respective to an auricular market for COVID-19[5] — the interferon point, a functional point in the super tragic notch, that supports anti-inflammatory effects.[6]
In this video, Dave Maybee, director of the Canadian Institute of Auricular Medicine, introduces points to consider respective to COVID-19. Acupuncturists, in particular, will be excited to learn that the microsystem of the ear not only reflects anatomical points, but all somatic and emotional experiences mapped by the brain including, systemic points (i.e. endocrine system and other regulating metabolic points), psychotropic points, as well as all of the meridians[7].

CIAM PLUS SERIES

The new point localizations of Dr. Bahr and the window to trauma treatment they open

Dr. Frank Bahr and colleagues such as Dr. Winfred Woyak, Dr. Manfred Reininger and others have continued to contribute to the original findings of Dr. Paul Nogier in 1957 — points which reflect deep hidden dental systems, hidden emotional systems, and even entire meridians. Findings of trauma held in the Governor Vessel meridian help point to underlying psychotropic points. You can discover fascinating new point localizations in this master course from CIAM’s PLUS series.
