Mother of auriculotherapy, Dr Li Chun Huang, understood that each ear has its own language to speak for and express itself. Learning to listen and exchange in its talk is the art and science of auricular interpretation: those ear anomalies which assists us to  understand the complete health status of the patient, past and present, via the surface of the auricle. 




 


Modern and ancient, forming part of auricular medicine and auriculotherapy, the visual inspection of skin alterations on the external ear, palpating, manipulating, pressure applying and checking electrical resistance of ear acupoints enables us to access our medical file imprinted on the pinna to optimise treatment outcomes and positively influence health.  

With an abundance of high quality clinical evidence and research, including double blind randomised control trials, eminent Professors and Drs Romoli, Oleson, Huang, Baik and Chalmers enable us to formulate a picture of manifestations on the ear common to us all and their meanings for our health. Their worldwide work, often aligning with ancient findings in Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine on the special relationship of the ear with the organs and meridians has enabled us to decipher an otherwise 'jigsaw puzzle with no knowledge of the final picture' Marco Romoli.

MTAT is excited to offer a fresh and original way to learn auricular interpretation, or  'Ear Talk', in a new two day live interactive on line course.  Highly interactive, underpinned by both western and oriental clinical evidence, your own ear cases will contribute to new learning for you and your group via an experimental double blind case study that compares your results to Oleson and Romoli's own. Contribute to MTAT's extensive 3D colour human ear library, exampling ear anomalies and skin alterations both weird and commonplace.
