AuriŃulotherapy
The Auriculotherapy software module is designed to create a personalized acupuncture prescription based on a client's individual constitution and meridian balance, as well as clinical aspects, the presence of pain syndromes, and the client's brain hemisphere dominance.
To get started, run a test to determine the "dominant ear". This test consists of several variable steps. If you or your client has unilateral pain, the painful side should be selected.
Once the painful side is selected, the test is complete, and you can proceed to the nosological filter.
If no unilateral pain is identified, three additional questions will be presented.
After answering all the questions, the dominant ear is chosen automatically by the program. You can now proceed to work with the nosological filter.
Select the Normalization of functional state option or a nosological group. Then, choose a specific disease.
The generated prescription outlines a two-day therapy program and consists of two parts:
- A main recipe aimed at correcting the pathological condition.
- Supportive points located on the opposite ear, which provide corrective action based on the client's constitution and the distribution of energy in the meridians according to TCM principles.
You can add 1-2 additional points to the supportive points. To select these points, apply pressure with a probe. If tenderness (pain) is detected, you can add the point to the prescription.
It is recommended to use the prescription over a 4-day period. The first and third sessions should be performed according to the 1st day prescription, and the second and fourth sessions should be performed according to the 2nd day prescription.
Following this, if necessary, a reassessment can be conducted to adjust the variable part of the prescription.
The prescription is interactive. Clicking on a point displays its description in the field at the bottom of the window. The corresponding area of the auricle and the selected point are also highlighted on the image to the left.
The points and zones of the auricle are displayed in four different versions. The symbols for each are shown in the legend adjacent to the auricle image.
Most points are marked by a black dot with an outline. When selected, these points are highlighted in red.
Reflexogenic zones are outlined with a dotted line. When selected, a cross is displayed over the zone.
Some points are not visible on the surface of the auricle. For example, the Testicle point (32) is located on the inner side of the antitragus.
The points located on the posterior surface of the auricle (105-108) are displayed as a projection onto the anterior surface.
The module includes a BAP Atlas, which describes 128 points on the auricle. Points can be searched by their number or by the anatomical area of the auricle.
Some points may have multiple variants. For example, point 72 is represented in five different variants. When you search for it by number, the program will automatically suggest all available options.
Upon selecting a point, its description will be displayed, and the corresponding area of the auricle along with the selected point will be highlighted.
When searching for a point by anatomical area of the auricle, all points located within that area will be presented for selection, and the selected anatomical zone will be highlighted.
Upon selecting a point, its description will be displayed. The corresponding area of the auricle and the selected point will be highlighted in the image.
If a point has a functional counterpart, it will also be displayed on the diagram. For example, when point 8-Eye I is selected, point 125-Eye II will be shown as its counterpart.
