Chinese and Western Systems of Ear Acupuncture
Autor: Terry Oleson; 2003, 359 páginas
“Um livro completo, descreve a Auriculoterapia chinesa e francesa (na qual ele chama de, respectivamente oriental e ocidental) com muitos detalhes e coisas que nunca vi em nenhum livro nacional e que, quando testei funcionaram muito bem. Respeitando uma tendência que também concordo, seus protocolos são baseados na escola chinesa e francesa, ou seja, o ideal é a soma das escolas e não a disputa entre elas. O livro está em inglês.”
