00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:18.359
Hi, guys, Welcome to The
Factor podcast. I'm your host, Jessica
2
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.960
Riddle, and I have to tell
you I am so excited about the training
3
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.760
we are featuring today. Many of
you may know that our parent company,
4
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:31.800
Southeast Professional Education Group, has recently
began offering acupuncture and dry needling courses.
5
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:37.759
We currently have a one hundred hour
chiropractic Acupuncture certification course, a dry needling
6
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.880
Level one and Level two course,
and have several other two hundred level and
7
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.079
three hundred level acupuncture courses in the
works for the ACA's Acupuncture Diplomat program.
8
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:51.399
I have honestly lost count of the
number of health care providers I've spoken with
9
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.640
that have said that adding needling to
their practice has been an absolute game changer
10
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.679
as a highly effective treatment for musculoskeletal
pain and a variety of both acute and
11
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:07.840
chronic conditions. In today's episode,
we unravel the complexity of aurricular acupuncture,
12
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:12.000
exploring the twelve master control points on
the ear and how they correlate with everything
13
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:19.040
from inflammation, allergies, hormone balancing, and even pain management. We'll delve
14
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.400
into the artful blend of traditional wisdom
with cutting edge applications revealing how these ancient
15
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:29.799
pearls can revitalize modern treatment protocols.
Be sure to bookmark this episode. It's
16
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:44.560
one you'll want to listen to more
than once. Let's dive in. Thank
17
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:48.959
you, Jessica. I'm so excited
welcome attendees. What an honor and and
18
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:55.920
delight really to be asked to present
a short webinar it'll be about possibly forty
19
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:01.200
forty five minutes long today on master
points in a rico therapy. And when
20
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:06.200
jess could ask me if I'd like
to present a webinar for her, I
21
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.960
immediately, of course, love sharing
the information that I've been given over the
22
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:14.919
years. So a little bit of
background. This will be aurriculo only,
23
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.000
so there are master points on the
body. For those of you in the
24
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:24.639
audience who are certified in acupuncture or
are thinking about learning occupuncture as just a
25
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:29.719
modality, there an extra modality to
use on your patients and your office or
26
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:34.479
your clients. There is an entire
system and we'll go over a little bit
27
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.560
of that here in a few slides
that exist only in the ear and it's
28
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:45.000
not new. It's very modern as
far as the research, but we know
29
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:50.280
it actually developed an ancient China,
so it's not a new world thing.
30
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:55.759
It's very very old. And these
extraordinary points will be very very easy for
31
00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:02.120
you to implement into your daily treatment
plan for your patient or your client.
32
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:07.639
And without further ado, just a
little bit about me, I am a
33
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:15.560
board certified American Chiropractic Association diplomat.
It is the only diplomat that's actually recognized
34
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:22.479
not just nationally but worldwide as a
chiropractic diplomat in acupuncture. And of course
35
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.360
here it lets you know a little
bit about me, and you can always
36
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:29.800
peruse that later. But there I
am. And on with the show the
37
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:35.520
description I've put in here, you'll
not only learn the regular master ocupuncture points
38
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.800
and why it might be a good
idea to integrate them into your clinical protocols,
39
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:44.280
but we will cover how to integrate
them, why to integrate them,
40
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:51.280
why that will increase your patient's positive
treatment outcomes, and how you can do
41
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.840
this on the next visit or even
today, especially if you're already certified and
42
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:59.960
you've had a little bit of a
regular therapy in the past, but maybe
43
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.120
feel like you need a little bit
more, or even if you've had none.
44
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:08.759
The points are very very easy to
find a lot of times people think
45
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:13.080
you have to have special instrumentation to
find these points, but they're not hard
46
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:17.040
to find. Most of you are
aware of the electrical stimulation devices some of
47
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:23.720
them, some of them are called
porner pluses. You don't really need those.
48
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:28.160
If you want to use electrical that's
fantastic. That works even faster for
49
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:31.920
the patient in breaking that pain modulation
there in the body in the brain.
50
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:39.519
But you do not need electrical devices
or current. You can use the really
51
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:44.639
really tiny I use the very very
smallest needle I can find. It's for
52
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.079
me. It's been the seer and
needle, and it's the size. It's
53
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:50.480
a facial needle. It's just so
tiny. Patients don't even feel it in
54
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:56.480
the ear either. Otherwise, if
you use your your average gauge needle occupuncture
55
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.680
needle in the ear, not only
could there probably be a little bit of
56
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:04.040
bleeding, there could be a lot
more pain involved for the patient, and
57
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:09.800
that might not give them a reason
to want to have you repeat that,
58
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:15.720
whereas with the electrical devices much of
the time they're pain free. So that's
59
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.639
a little bit of the course description. Here's a picture of ten points will
60
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:23.079
actually go through twelve. There are
two additional ones that will also cover at
61
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:28.560
the end of the PowerPoint presentation for
off everything for the upper limbs and any
62
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.160
type of pain for the lower limbs. So so a total of twelve.
63
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.800
But as you can see, I
will be starting up here at the I
64
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:40.120
will call it twelve o'clock. When
I look at an ear and I will
65
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.439
you'll hear me talk about the grid. A lot of these points are on
66
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.360
grids, and they're parallel to each
other or they're perpendicular to each other,
67
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.839
and that's just how they are.
It's almost like if you think of the
68
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:55.759
ear as a hologram. You've got
all these grids and you've got deeper,
69
00:05:55.959 --> 00:06:00.600
deeper lines, deeper points, more
surface points. And just for the knowledge
70
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.079
here you'll see these green triangles that
you can observe here on the screen right
71
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:09.759
now, and then the little square
blue cobalt blue circles. We'll start with
72
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.399
the allergy point. It has one
of each. So what that tells me
73
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:15.800
and what that will tell you when
you look at a slide, and there's
74
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.199
a key on a following slide too
that you can a legend. The round
75
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:25.439
cobalt just means this is a surface
point on the ear. You don't need
76
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.680
to look for it. It's not
hidden, it's not underneath the ridge or
77
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:33.319
behind the ear posterior ear. It
is right there at the allergy point actually
78
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:39.920
is at the apex of the ear. The easiest way to find that is
79
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:43.680
for you to take after you've observed
the patient's ear, and we haven't gone
80
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:47.279
through any of the inspection or observation, but you will. You can fold
81
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:53.839
the ear just almost in half there
and at that very tip where that crease
82
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:58.839
is, where you fold, that
will be the allergy point. Now there's
83
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:03.560
a second allergy point, and I
do use that if the surface allergy point,
84
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:09.160
the one that's in blue, doesn't
seem to be quite doing the job
85
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:12.160
that I think it needs to be
doing, maybe on the second or third
86
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:16.360
visit, I can add that little
green triangle means that tells me in the
87
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:23.560
reference material that that is underneath that
ridge there, that's on the superior helix
88
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:28.120
of the ear. So you have
to go in there with a pair of
89
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:32.519
tweezers and find that, or use
your hand and look under there. It's
90
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.319
underneath that little ridge and you can
feel it right now in your own ear.
91
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:39.279
There's just a little ridge there,
and it's right at the apex,
92
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:44.720
but it's underneath that little ridge there
at the superior helix. That's the allergy
93
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.240
point. Then if we're going clockwise
for me, it would be to the
94
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:54.399
right here sympathetic autonomic point. That's
obviously hidden. Also it's in that green
95
00:07:54.480 --> 00:08:00.439
triangle there between the superior helix.
And then we're headed down towards the what
96
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.279
would be the helix root, so
not quite midway about two point thirty maybe
97
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.920
three o'clock there. Then we have
the mass. We have the zero point
98
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:13.160
there at the root of the helix
helix root. In the ear on around
99
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.160
to the master oscillation you have the
tranquilizer point. And we'll go through these
100
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:22.560
pretty quickly. Indocrine, the master, cerebral, master's sensorial, the thalamus
101
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.920
point. Always look at the thalamus
points about seven o'clock on the what we
102
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.040
know we'll know to be here in
a quick review. The anti treegis of
103
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:35.480
the ear. The zero point we
covered that shen Men. It's also known
104
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:41.000
as divine gate, so just the
name itself kind of tells us this pretty
105
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:45.960
special point. And we'll learn all
about those here beginning now. But first
106
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.320
all of you know, the parts
of the ear, but it seems to
107
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.279
be on the one hundred hour exams
anyway. We have a national one hundred
108
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:58.240
hour certification exam, at least in
our state that's required, and then the
109
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:03.559
National Board Occupuncture Review is also required. But this seems to be the group
110
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:09.080
of questions that doctors miss the most, that students miss the most. The
111
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.840
student doctors, the doctors, the
pts, whoever mds. There's a lot
112
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.320
of anatomy to the ear. And
here are the different areas for you to
113
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.879
review and look back at. When
we talk about where each one is located.
114
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.279
You've got I think there's twelve or
thirteen different areas where points can be
115
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:33.120
located, and there's probably even some
more, and I know they're more posteriorly,
116
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.879
which we won't even cover today,
but there are several points on the
117
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:43.039
posterior surface of the ear. But
moving right along, also know at least
118
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:48.559
depending on your scope. I know
here where we are in Texas, our
119
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.399
scope is limited. Our rule of
law here in Texas is limited to neuromuscular
120
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:58.759
skeletal, so we do cover a
lot of muscular skeletal points today. However,
121
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.840
if in your scope you can treat
other conditions. Many of these points
122
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:09.720
that will cover today, and we'll
cover all the muscular skeletal but you'll also
123
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:15.799
see where they cover other conditions.
So if you have a broader scope than
124
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:22.080
we do here in Texas, great
wonderful. You can cover many other conditions
125
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:28.000
for your patients with ear ocupuncture alone
without even touching any other part of their
126
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:33.159
bodies. And of course, people
it seems like it's always a question from
127
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:39.679
the chiropractors that are in the group. Anyway, you always adjust the patient
128
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:46.559
first, then you provide the therapies. Ocupuncture is the therapy modality and it
129
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.519
is performed after the patient is adjusted, So just in case you had that
130
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.759
question. But when you look at
these muscular skeletal points here, attendees,
131
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.919
you'll see points for every system in
the body. You have your lumbar spine,
132
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:05.639
your sacral, your thoracic, you'll
see cervical spine, there, face,
133
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.519
eyes, forehead, temples, and
while we're looking elbows, chests,
134
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.279
wrist, handed, fingers, knees, their toes at the very top almost
135
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:18.080
at the apex. Beside it,
I put the little homunculus that you see
136
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:24.240
in all the embryological books and the
diagrams and the occupuncture books, and if
137
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:30.639
you look at a lot of times
these muscular skeletal points correspond with a part
138
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.679
of the body if it were an
upside down or inverted fetus there in the
139
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:39.159
ear. And we know that it's
nothing new again, aurricular therapy is.
140
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:45.679
It's more modern now because we've proven
how it works with all our modern technologies.
141
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.759
We're proving more and more how it
works. But it's very very very
142
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:58.720
very ancient. If earning a certification

out episodes twenty six and twenty seven, where doctor Tom Teeter explains what the
151
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:45.200
rehab continuum is and lays out a
plan for developing and expanding a strong clinical
152
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:54.720
skill set through CE courses. Now
back to the show. We'll start with
153
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.039
allergypoint. But real quick, before
we move on to the points, just
154
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:03.799
a little bit of history. We
know that the ancient the ancient Chinese did
155
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.279
have aurricular points, so they did
exist, and that they are mentioned in
156
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:13.600
the Nejing and some of the oldest
books on the planet that do describe acupuncture
157
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:18.080
and list all the conditions that it
can help. But in nineteen fifty seven,
158
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.759
really when it started in America,
doctor Paul Noje and many of you
159
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:28.120
that are in acupuncture have heard of
him. His son now carries on his
160
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:35.440
legacy. He connected the somatotropic or
the inverted fetus correspondences to the oracle or
161
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:41.279
the ear to the urriculo part of
the ear. And when he did that
162
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:46.200
it Modern China just went kind of
nuts about this because they thought, well,
163
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:48.159
this is us and we haven't even
discovered this, and or maybe they
164
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:50.919
had discovered it and it just hadn't
written about it. But so the year
165
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:56.399
a year later, in nineteen fifty
eight, modern China initiated a massive study
166
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:03.480
and they did this study used doctor
Nogier's clinical effectiveness of this auricular ocupuncture,
167
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:11.720
and they found it to be incredibly
confirming and successful, and it just exploded
168
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.679
at that time, kept exploding.
So by the early seventies there were cases
169
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:22.240
researched for many, many different types
of quote modern problems or conditions in humans,
170
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.759
and one of those was a detoxification
of opiate withdrawals, and they used
171
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.679
it in the seventies. Actually,
beginning in about nineteen seventy three here in
172
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.039
the United States, there was a
doctor, an MD Michael Smith, and
173
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:41.639
he applied aurricular acupuncture to much of
his clinical work where he helped addicts withdraw
174
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:46.639
from opiates and crack, cocaine,
alcohol, nicotine, you name it.
175
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:52.360
And he actually used double blind studies
that began shortly after that, all proving
176
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:58.360
that these points work. So many
of you are familiar with NADA, where
177
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:03.720
the detoxification group now has the five
points they use for addiction withdrawal in these
178
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:09.279
addiction centers. It's a business all
in of itself. So a little bit
179
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:11.559
on the history. Wanted to cover
that, and then we'll go to allergy
180
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:16.080
point. We've already said that it
is at the apex of the ear and
181
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:20.919
then underneath that little ridge, they're
at the apex of the ear and the
182
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:24.919
main thing too real quick before to
remember, and I didn't mention this on
183
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:28.559
the slide on the master points that
we are going over today. They don't
184
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:33.639
relate to any one specific anatomical organ
but they do affect a broad range of
185
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:39.799
physiological functions, just as many other
body points do also. So in your
186
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:45.159
allergy point, it's used for anti
any inflammation responses. So you think,
187
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:48.360
oh, well, we can't treat
allergies under our scope or I can't do
188
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:52.039
that in my office legally, Well
no you can, because why you're treating
189
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:58.320
that rheumatic arthritis or any inflammatory response. Guess what, Whether we like it
190
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:02.759
or not, it will address the
energy in that human's body. And those
191
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:06.720
of you that are familiar with acupuncture
understand this even better more than I can
192
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:11.519
go into today. It will address
that imbalance in that body that's causing those
193
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:17.039
allergies, maybe to affect that patient
or that human more than necessary, or
194
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:21.879
it triggered that immune response in a
contraindicating way for that patient to not be
195
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:26.399
miserable with the condition. But it's
also used for a rheumatic arthritis toxicity.
196
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:33.080
It will also help if a patient's
in anaphylactic shock, not that we treat
197
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:37.399
that, but it could actually help
that. It excretes the metabolic waste.
198
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.360
It helps the body excrete metabolic waste. So all of these things are going
199
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.159
to help inflammation also. So I
put it in here. Wanted to cover
200
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:52.600
it because we treat inflammation every single
day in our offices as chiropractice, and
201
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.799
of course that's a perspective I'm coming
from. But even as the physical therapist,
202
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:02.240
your patients have inflammation in their body. It's a big eie nowadays,
203
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:07.200
but it can also be used.
The slide tells us to relieve XCESG and
204
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:12.279
it can also and I do this
quite often. I let the patient become
205
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:18.720
part of the answer. Instead of
me being the provider and me me,
206
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.839
me being the one that quote heals
them. I let them know they're responsible
207
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.880
for their own healthcare. That's their
body, it's their point. They can
208
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.799
stimulate that point. And one really
easy way or on the allergy point is
209
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.599
pinching it because it's so easy to
find. You just fold your ear and
210
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.680
then pinch that where that crease is
and not hard, but just three or
211
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:41.920
four times a day that allergy is
bothering, you can do a little pinch.
212
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.000
Also, we have press needles many
of you are familiar with, and
213
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:51.440
also occupatches, seeds beads that you
can tape on that part of the ear
214
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:55.480
and give that patient something to take
home with them so they have that in
215
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:59.200
their ear. They can stimulate that
two or three times a day by tapping,
216
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.079
and when you see them back in
two or three days to replace that
217
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:07.279
tape, you can ask them how
they've been doing with their own self care.
218
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:10.480
And that puts them in charge of
their health care and takes you out
219
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:15.599
of the role of paternalistic all doer
when we know that really they're the ones
220
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:18.960
that are going to be healing their
own bodies that we don't do the healing.
221
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:26.000
The next point is the endocrine point, so it balances the indocin hormones
222
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.319
and it can raise or lower glandular
secretion. Well we know, all right,
223
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:36.240
well, the hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism,
diabetes. Let's just look at where
224
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:38.279
that point is. To that point. The way I find that point,
225
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:44.000
it's to me, it's so easy. Just find that intertra tragic notch there,
226
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:45.880
it's right there in the center.
If you look at the ear as
227
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:51.160
a grid and you were saying,
okay, allergy points probably at twelve o'clock,
228
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:55.960
you can really you can pretty much
put the intertragate notch at five or
229
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.480
five point thirty, not quite six
o'clock where the low biz. So it's
230
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:03.960
right there where it's remember it's the
little green triangle, So you're gonna have
231
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.559
it's down there in the little groove
underneath the little rim or or fold of
232
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:12.839
the skin there, and that's where
you'll find the endocrine point, one of
233
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:18.359
the ten master points for perimenopause,
and that's for any of the perimenopause symptoms,
234
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:23.920
which could be cramping, irregularity.
It also activates the pituitary gland.
235
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:30.039
But it again has an anti inflammatory
and anti allergic effects, So again it
236
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:36.079
has an anti inflammatory effect on the
entire body and promotes water metabolism, so
237
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:41.880
very very powerful point for not only
indocrine disorders but also inflammatory disorders. So
238
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:48.720
there's an anti inflammatory point for those
of us who are supposedly only treating muscular
239
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:53.079
skeletal here in the state of Texas
anyway. So next master cerebral, let's
240
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:59.240
look at where that's at again,
the blue circle tells us that it is
241
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:00.480
on the surface, so you don't
have to look for it. It's not
242
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:04.119
hidden, and really it is part
of the lobe. And how I find
243
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:08.400
it is where the lobe meets the
side of the head. There the chin
244
00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:15.240
de mandible, and you go up
not quite halfway up that lobe will be
245
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.720
your master's cerebral And if you think
about that, when you go back to
246
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.880
the little slide that had the little
upside down fetus, the baby, the
247
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:29.200
inverted fetus, that's right there at
the head where the serbrillrum is. It
248
00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:33.240
does address the prefrontal lobe of the
brain, which we know affects decision makings
249
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:38.160
of some and initiates conscious action,
among other things. But it's used for
250
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:45.200
nervous activity OCD, fear, worry, neurosthenia, extreme fatigue, or lack
251
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:49.480
of concentration. And this point also
promotes deep sleep. I don't know about
252
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:52.920
you, but it seems like for
the last fifteen or twenty years of my
253
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:59.640
practice, almost everyone now over forty, and it's beginning to be even younger
254
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.240
than that out has trouble sleeping.
When you ask them, are you sleeping,
255
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:07.200
okay, they say no, I
have insomnia. They either can't get
256
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:10.759
to sleep or they go to sleep
and they wake up and they can't get
257
00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:14.440
back to sleep. This is a
wonderful point. I've used it many many
258
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:18.039
times and trained the patient how to
use it, or stuck that pressed needle
259
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:23.759
on there, or that bead or
occupatch. Wonderful, wonderful point class for
260
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:30.920
our attendees for promoting deep sleep.
So there's your master cerebral point. Next
261
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:36.880
is master oscillation. Now we're going
back up tour. Actually it's on the
262
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:41.640
tragus. Underneath the tragus, so
if you remember your anatomy, that little
263
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:45.319
groove there, that kind of it
looks like a little bud butting out there
264
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:52.920
at the base of the are just
below the helix route is the tragus,
265
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:57.400
and right underneath that rim is the
master oscillation point. It's really easy to
266
00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:02.640
find. It balances right and left
sides of the cerebral hemisphere. Is the
267
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:08.079
brain used in all the learning disabilities. Add dyslexia are a patient who has
268
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:12.559
who is sensitive to react or reacts
to medications. And we all know which
269
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:17.119
patients those are. They seem to
be allergic to air. No matter if
270
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.279
some one person in the room is
going to have a reaction. I know
271
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:23.519
I have a couple of patients they're
going to have a reaction. That would
272
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.079
be a great point for them.
And then it we just kind of threw
273
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:32.359
this in here I did. When
treating electrically, you can use a frequency
274
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:36.519
as high as two point five hurts
on this point. And again when you
275
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:38.799
treat electrically, we'll go over that
real quick for those of you in the
276
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:48.000
audience that might be using that.
Those frequencies we want remember when the patient
277
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:52.039
feels it, when they say,
ouch, it's too high, And the
278
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:56.240
reason they're feeling it is because it's
not going deep. The electricity is on
279
00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:02.599
the surface and it's just hanging around
on the surface and electrifyd that surface and
280
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:07.640
they feel it. What you want
them to be is just sub threshold so
281
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:12.200
or not threshold. You want them
to be where they barely barely feel it.
282
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:15.640
So you might start low, go
up to where they feel it.
283
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.839
That's usually what I do. I
start really low. The last thing you
284
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.119
want to do is shock their ear. It's quite painful. I've had it
285
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:26.599
done, and I accidentally when I
was training back in four two thousand and
286
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:30.480
four, had an associate doc was
practicing on his ear and with a nine
287
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:34.519
volt battery. Just one of the
stem pro pluses had it a little high
288
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:38.400
and he never let me. Ever
it hurt him and he said, no,
289
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:42.039
You're never going to do that to
me again. And I felt terrible.
290
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:45.400
It was just a second a zap, but it was so strong.
291
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:48.759
So I start. I just start
so low. I start on the lowest
292
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.480
setting of your device. Just learn
your device, Start on the lowest setting
293
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.160
and slowly turn it up. And
so the first time before you get the
294
00:23:56.200 --> 00:24:00.960
baseline. It may take you a
minute two minutes, but usually not more
295
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:04.640
than that to where they feel it. So when they say they, I
296
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:08.200
tell them I want you to just
close your eyes and focus on it,
297
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:11.599
and you might have to really think
about feeling it. It should be where
298
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:15.559
you barely barely feel it. That's
when we know it's going deeper. And
299
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:21.920
that's what you want. You want
that frequency to be barely recognizable to the
300
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:27.160
patient. So your master oscillation great
for any types of just balancing the left
301
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:30.759
and right side of the brain.
I love to use it on stroke patients
302
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:34.240
with post thelamic pain syndrome, which
we can treat in Texas. Since it's
303
00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:37.839
a pain syndrome, really balancing the
left and the right side of their brain.
304
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:41.640
So I use it quite a bit
with all the strike patients I've treated
305
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:48.319
over the years. Next is your
Master's sensorial and it controls the brain's cortex,
306
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:53.599
rebel cortex, parietal and occipital lobe. It's not a neurological class today,
307
00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:57.680
we're all doctors and you don't remember
exactly what all that covers. You
308
00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:03.759
can look that up, but where
is it located. It'll reduce any unpleasant
309
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.720
excessive sensation ringing in the ears,
which we see quite a bit as chiropractors
310
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.359
and blurred vision. Now it is
in the lobe of the ear. On
311
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:14.839
the lobe of the ear again,
a blue circle on the surface, easy
312
00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:18.279
to find. How do I find
that? Again, it's almost halfway up
313
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:22.079
the lobe, so when you start
really looking at ears, you'll see huge
314
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:26.839
lobes, tiny little lobes. I
see grown men with little, tiny ears
315
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.799
the size of some six year olds. So it depends on the ear.
316
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:36.720
They're all different. But it's just
about halfway up the center of that lobe.
317
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:38.000
So I would take the very middle
of that lobe. If I were
318
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:41.640
to fold that lobe in half and
go about halfway up where you have the
319
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:45.279
innertragic notch. But it's just to
the side of it. But it still
320
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:49.680
looks to me like and much of
the time on patients it's still at six
321
00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:56.039
o'clock, just a halfway up to
the antitreegus there up the ear. So
322
00:25:56.119 --> 00:26:00.799
that's what you'd be treating there again, paresthesias we see at quite a bit
323
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:04.960
with many of our patients with ridiculopathies, and then ringing in the ear as
324
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:10.720
we see quite a bit too,
but any unpleasant or excessive sensation. And
325
00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:15.200
I know you're probably thinking right now
about patients you have that have those types
326
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:18.279
of conditions that you could you could
help in your office today. Point zero.
327
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:22.880
Its location, very very easy to
find. I love it. It's
328
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.720
the helix root, the helix which
just comes all the way around the ear.
329
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:30.480
The rim of the ear is at
the very rude there right as it
330
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:37.759
joins into the concha of the ear. It brings the whole body into homeostasis,
331
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:42.559
balances, energy, hormones, brain
activities, so so so important.
332
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:48.200
I use it. It's almost an
instinct now. It just takes two to
333
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:53.720
three seconds electrically to stimulate the ear
five seconds of the most with an electrical
334
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:59.119
point or plus or whatever you're using. There's so many good tools out now
335
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:03.000
to use. Why not just go
ahead and do the point zero? To
336
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:07.960
me, the point zero just kind
of resets the body's entire computer. Because
337
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:11.839
remember those of you who've had the
minimum class, the one hundred hour class,
338
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:18.440
all yen and young organs either directly
or indirectly begin and end in the
339
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:25.079
ear. Again, the ear is
so so powerful. So if you'll recall
340
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:29.400
that in your one hundred your first
one hundred hours, all yen and young
341
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:34.920
organs either either directly or indirectly begin
and or end in the ear. So
342
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:41.400
this, this brings the whole body
into balance, resets the whole body's computer
343
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:45.559
or clock, whatever you want to
call it, balances or supports the action
344
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:48.000
of all the other points you're using. So why would you not reset the
345
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:52.559
computer and use point zero on every
patient? It just takes three to five
346
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:56.119
seconds. Why not do it?
I've had great success with it. It
347
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:03.400
controls the visceral organs through the peripheral
nerve gain and promotes willpower. So again,
348
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:07.880
point zero I love point zero.
I treat point zero on every single
349
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:15.039
patient. It's innervated actually and biologically
by the vegus nerve. And that's going
350
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:18.680
back to first and second year in
school. But it's consistent with a location
351
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:25.440
when you go back and look at
the little homunculus of the cerebellum, and
352
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.599
it's also reactive and this isn't on
your slide, but it's also reactive in
353
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:37.279
many chronic degenitive conditions. So another
great reason for us treating muscular skeletal which
354
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.160
I think most of us do the
majority of another reason to just put this
355
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.720
and never forget this point. It's
a beautiful, beautiful point to use to
356
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:51.480
help your patient every single day.
Takes about three to five seconds. You'll
357
00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:55.440
pick two or three points for that
day for the patient. You might only
358
00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:59.720
pick one or two master points,
and then an actual anatomical point the patient's
359
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:04.359
having trouble with, and you've say
adjusted or treated the patient with all the
360
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:11.039
other modalities and tips up your sleeve
and magical things you have as a doctor
361
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:18.440
or therapist, and takes you an
extra maybe thirty seconds to treat six or
362
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:22.119
seven points. So why wouldn't you
do that at the end of the session.
363
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:27.759
Or I know many practitioners who never
stick needles and patients all they do
364
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:34.640
is ear electrical auricular therapy and they
get incredible results. So that's your point
365
00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:40.279
zero. But those are just three
or four different ways you could actually use
366
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:44.880
point zero or use your electrical stem. If you use needles, you don't
367
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.079
have to leave the needles in for
twenty minutes. But if I do electrical
368
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:52.720
needling, or if I do non
electrical needling in the ear, I usually
369
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:56.160
will do one or two points max
in the ear while I've needled the other
370
00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:00.920
parts of the body. I would
be needling. So I just take those
371
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:03.880
out and then don't use electrical that
day, say, and they stay in
372
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:11.200
fifteen to twenty minutes. Shen Men
shen Men tranquilizes the mind. Where is
373
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:15.079
it? Okay? Well, it's
in an area called a scaphoid fossa,
374
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:18.880
or you might see it written as
triangular fossa. And on this picture here
375
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:25.599
you can kind of see it shaded
into where it's like a triangular shape flowing
376
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:30.000
into the upper portion of the ear. There a scaphoid. It's a sailboat,
377
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:37.160
so scaffoid. It's actually almost in
the not quite center of the triangular
378
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:41.400
fossa. And that shen men.
If you look at shen min, and
379
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:44.880
now I know you remember the allergy
point, they're at the apex of the
380
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:48.200
ear. They are on a grid. You almost have a perpendicular line there
381
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:52.640
where you could come straight down.
Some people have trouble finding shen men.
382
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:57.119
That's a divine gate, also known
as divine gate. So if you are
383
00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:00.799
having trouble with that, you could
always fold that ear and find that allergy
384
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:06.759
point and then right straight actually parallel
with it. You'll see shin man or
385
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:10.400
you'll be able to find it.
They're in the little scaffhoid vosa. Again,
386
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:14.119
everyone's ears are different. Then you
just have to kind of go by
387
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:19.359
their anatomy of their ear. It
actually alleviates stress pain. So again muscular
388
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:25.799
skeletal contreat use that tension anxiety,
depression, insomnia, there's another great point
389
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:32.240
for insomnia reduces inflammatory diseases, hypertension, and also fevers. But it is
390
00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:34.240
a key point, and all your
textbooks will let you know this. I
391
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:38.119
took a lot of this information out
of Terry Olson's book on Urricular Therapy,
392
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:41.759
The Manual, which I know most
of you are familiar with if you've ever
393
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:45.880
had a course in a urricular therapy
or occupuncture. It's a key point for
394
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:52.000
alleviating pain. So seems like just
about all our patients come sad but true,
395
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:56.839
but who else to We can help
their pain without prescription drugs or over
396
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:01.160
the counter medications that also have signed
effects, And this is a great point,
397
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:05.440
and you can teach them how to
use it. And again on this
398
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:09.279
one, it's used to use it
in sub acute, chronic or painful inflammatory
399
00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:14.240
conditions. And the reason why it's
it's so important, I'll just go a
400
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:17.839
little deeper here in its relationship to
inflammation. It is a key point there
401
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:22.400
along with spleen and we're not studying
the organ points today, but that's really
402
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:27.759
why it's so special for any types
of pain. And you don't hear about
403
00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:30.519
that so much. You hear it
tranquilizes the mind. It's called divine gait.
404
00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:35.559
But it along with zero point,
are two points that if I don't
405
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:40.200
do any other auricular therapy because I
say needled the body and you don't have
406
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:45.000
hours and hours to spend with each
patient, but I do have five seconds,
407
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:49.400
I'll just hit chin men or treat
chin men and our divine gaate and
408
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:52.400
zero point in their dominant ear.
Don't even have to do it by latterly,
409
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:57.599
but you can because we know there's
crossover in the brain. So many
410
00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:00.559
many schools teach to treat bilatterally but
because of that reason. So there you
411
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:15.839
go. There's shein min. That's
it for today's episode. Be sure to
412
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:20.039
tune in for part two of this
two episode training series, where doctor Kurbin
413
00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:23.160
will cover specific conditions that can be
treated with these master points, as well
414
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:28.880
as effect of bilateral versus unilateral treatment
on conditions. You won't want to miss
415
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:31.680
it. Our next episode drops in
two weeks. If you're ready to implement
416
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:36.160
what you've learned into practice, one

1
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:18.359
Hi, guys, Welcome to The
Factor podcast. I'm your host, Jessica
2
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.960
Riddle, and I have to tell
you I am so excited about the training
3
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.760
we are featuring today. Many of
you may know that our parent company,
4
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:31.800
Southeast Professional Education Group, has recently
began offering acupuncture and dry needling courses.
5
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:37.759
We currently have a one hundred hour
chiropractic Acupuncture certification course, a dry needling
6
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.880
Level one and Level two course,
and have several other two hundred level and
7
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.079
three hundred level acupuncture courses in the
works for the ACA's Acupuncture Diplomat program.
8
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:51.399
I have honestly lost count of the
number of health care providers I've spoken with
9
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.640
that have said that adding needling to
their practice has been an absolute game changer
10
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.679
as a highly effective treatment for musculoskeletal
pain and a variety of both acute and
11
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:07.840
chronic conditions. In today's episode,
we unravel the complexity of aurricular acupuncture,
12
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:12.000
exploring the twelve master control points on
the ear and how they correlate with everything
13
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:19.040
from inflammation, allergies, hormone balancing, and even pain management. We'll delve
14
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.400
into the artful blend of traditional wisdom
with cutting edge applications revealing how these ancient
15
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:29.799
pearls can revitalize modern treatment protocols.
Be sure to bookmark this episode. It's
16
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:44.560
one you'll want to listen to more
than once. Let's dive in. Thank
17
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:48.959
you, Jessica. I'm so excited
welcome attendees. What an honor and and
18
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:55.920
delight really to be asked to present
a short webinar it'll be about possibly forty
19
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:01.200
forty five minutes long today on master
points in a rico therapy. And when
20
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:06.200
jess could ask me if I'd like
to present a webinar for her, I
21
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.960
immediately, of course, love sharing
the information that I've been given over the
22
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:14.919
years. So a little bit of
background. This will be aurriculo only,
23
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.000
so there are master points on the
body. For those of you in the
24
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:24.639
audience who are certified in acupuncture or
are thinking about learning occupuncture as just a
25
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:29.719
modality, there an extra modality to
use on your patients and your office or
26
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:34.479
your clients. There is an entire
system and we'll go over a little bit
27
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.560
of that here in a few slides
that exist only in the ear and it's
28
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:45.000
not new. It's very modern as
far as the research, but we know
29
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:50.280
it actually developed an ancient China,
so it's not a new world thing.
30
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:55.759
It's very very old. And these
extraordinary points will be very very easy for
31
00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:02.120
you to implement into your daily treatment
plan for your patient or your client.
32
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:07.639
And without further ado, just a
little bit about me, I am a
33
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:15.560
board certified American Chiropractic Association diplomat.
It is the only diplomat that's actually recognized
34
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:22.479
not just nationally but worldwide as a
chiropractic diplomat in acupuncture. And of course
35
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.360
here it lets you know a little
bit about me, and you can always
36
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:29.800
peruse that later. But there I
am. And on with the show the
37
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:35.520
description I've put in here, you'll
not only learn the regular master ocupuncture points
38
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.800
and why it might be a good
idea to integrate them into your clinical protocols,
39
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:44.280
but we will cover how to integrate
them, why to integrate them,
40
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:51.280
why that will increase your patient's positive
treatment outcomes, and how you can do
41
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.840
this on the next visit or even
today, especially if you're already certified and
42
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:59.960
you've had a little bit of a
regular therapy in the past, but maybe
43
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.120
feel like you need a little bit
more, or even if you've had none.
44
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:08.759
The points are very very easy to
find a lot of times people think
45
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:13.080
you have to have special instrumentation to
find these points, but they're not hard
46
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:17.040
to find. Most of you are
aware of the electrical stimulation devices some of
47
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:23.720
them, some of them are called
porner pluses. You don't really need those.
48
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:28.160
If you want to use electrical that's
fantastic. That works even faster for
49
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:31.920
the patient in breaking that pain modulation
there in the body in the brain.
50
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:39.519
But you do not need electrical devices
or current. You can use the really
51
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:44.639
really tiny I use the very very
smallest needle I can find. It's for
52
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.079
me. It's been the seer and
needle, and it's the size. It's
53
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:50.480
a facial needle. It's just so
tiny. Patients don't even feel it in
54
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:56.480
the ear either. Otherwise, if
you use your your average gauge needle occupuncture
55
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.680
needle in the ear, not only
could there probably be a little bit of
56
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:04.040
bleeding, there could be a lot
more pain involved for the patient, and
57
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:09.800
that might not give them a reason
to want to have you repeat that,
58
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:15.720
whereas with the electrical devices much of
the time they're pain free. So that's
59
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.639
a little bit of the course description. Here's a picture of ten points will
60
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:23.079
actually go through twelve. There are
two additional ones that will also cover at
61
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:28.560
the end of the PowerPoint presentation for
off everything for the upper limbs and any
62
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.160
type of pain for the lower limbs. So so a total of twelve.
63
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.800
But as you can see, I
will be starting up here at the I
64
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:40.120
will call it twelve o'clock. When
I look at an ear and I will
65
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.439
you'll hear me talk about the grid. A lot of these points are on
66
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.360
grids, and they're parallel to each
other or they're perpendicular to each other,
67
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.839
and that's just how they are.
It's almost like if you think of the
68
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:55.759
ear as a hologram. You've got
all these grids and you've got deeper,
69
00:05:55.959 --> 00:06:00.600
deeper lines, deeper points, more
surface points. And just for the knowledge
70
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.079
here you'll see these green triangles that
you can observe here on the screen right
71
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:09.759
now, and then the little square
blue cobalt blue circles. We'll start with
72
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.399
the allergy point. It has one
of each. So what that tells me
73
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:15.800
and what that will tell you when
you look at a slide, and there's
74
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.199
a key on a following slide too
that you can a legend. The round
75
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:25.439
cobalt just means this is a surface
point on the ear. You don't need
76
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.680
to look for it. It's not
hidden, it's not underneath the ridge or
77
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:33.319
behind the ear posterior ear. It
is right there at the allergy point actually
78
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:39.920
is at the apex of the ear. The easiest way to find that is
79
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:43.680
for you to take after you've observed
the patient's ear, and we haven't gone
80
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:47.279
through any of the inspection or observation, but you will. You can fold
81
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:53.839
the ear just almost in half there
and at that very tip where that crease
82
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:58.839
is, where you fold, that
will be the allergy point. Now there's
83
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:03.560
a second allergy point, and I
do use that if the surface allergy point,
84
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:09.160
the one that's in blue, doesn't
seem to be quite doing the job
85
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:12.160
that I think it needs to be
doing, maybe on the second or third
86
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:16.360
visit, I can add that little
green triangle means that tells me in the
87
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:23.560
reference material that that is underneath that
ridge there, that's on the superior helix
88
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:28.120
of the ear. So you have
to go in there with a pair of
89
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:32.519
tweezers and find that, or use
your hand and look under there. It's
90
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.319
underneath that little ridge and you can
feel it right now in your own ear.
91
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:39.279
There's just a little ridge there,
and it's right at the apex,
92
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:44.720
but it's underneath that little ridge there
at the superior helix. That's the allergy
93
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.240
point. Then if we're going clockwise
for me, it would be to the
94
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:54.399
right here sympathetic autonomic point. That's
obviously hidden. Also it's in that green
95
00:07:54.480 --> 00:08:00.439
triangle there between the superior helix.
And then we're headed down towards the what
96
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.279
would be the helix root, so
not quite midway about two point thirty maybe
97
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.920
three o'clock there. Then we have
the mass. We have the zero point
98
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:13.160
there at the root of the helix
helix root. In the ear on around
99
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.160
to the master oscillation you have the
tranquilizer point. And we'll go through these
100
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:22.560
pretty quickly. Indocrine, the master, cerebral, master's sensorial, the thalamus
101
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.920
point. Always look at the thalamus
points about seven o'clock on the what we
102
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.040
know we'll know to be here in
a quick review. The anti treegis of
103
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:35.480
the ear. The zero point we
covered that shen Men. It's also known
104
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:41.000
as divine gate, so just the
name itself kind of tells us this pretty
105
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:45.960
special point. And we'll learn all
about those here beginning now. But first
106
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.320
all of you know, the parts
of the ear, but it seems to
107
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.279
be on the one hundred hour exams
anyway. We have a national one hundred
108
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:58.240
hour certification exam, at least in
our state that's required, and then the
109
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:03.559
National Board Occupuncture Review is also required. But this seems to be the group
110
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:09.080
of questions that doctors miss the most, that students miss the most. The
111
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.840
student doctors, the doctors, the
pts, whoever mds. There's a lot
112
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.320
of anatomy to the ear. And
here are the different areas for you to
113
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.879
review and look back at. When
we talk about where each one is located.
114
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.279
You've got I think there's twelve or
thirteen different areas where points can be
115
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:33.120
located, and there's probably even some
more, and I know they're more posteriorly,
116
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.879
which we won't even cover today,
but there are several points on the
117
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:43.039
posterior surface of the ear. But
moving right along, also know at least
118
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:48.559
depending on your scope. I know
here where we are in Texas, our
119
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.399
scope is limited. Our rule of
law here in Texas is limited to neuromuscular
120
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:58.759
skeletal, so we do cover a
lot of muscular skeletal points today. However,
121
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.840
if in your scope you can treat
other conditions. Many of these points
122
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:09.720
that will cover today, and we'll
cover all the muscular skeletal but you'll also
123
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:15.799
see where they cover other conditions.
So if you have a broader scope than
124
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:22.080
we do here in Texas, great
wonderful. You can cover many other conditions
125
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:28.000
for your patients with ear ocupuncture alone
without even touching any other part of their
126
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:33.159
bodies. And of course, people
it seems like it's always a question from
127
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:39.679
the chiropractors that are in the group. Anyway, you always adjust the patient
128
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:46.559
first, then you provide the therapies. Ocupuncture is the therapy modality and it
129
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.519
is performed after the patient is adjusted, So just in case you had that
130
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.759
question. But when you look at
these muscular skeletal points here, attendees,
131
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.919
you'll see points for every system in
the body. You have your lumbar spine,
132
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:05.639
your sacral, your thoracic, you'll
see cervical spine, there, face,
133
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.519
eyes, forehead, temples, and
while we're looking elbows, chests,
134
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.279
wrist, handed, fingers, knees, their toes at the very top almost
135
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:18.080
at the apex. Beside it,
I put the little homunculus that you see
136
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:24.240
in all the embryological books and the
diagrams and the occupuncture books, and if
137
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:30.639
you look at a lot of times
these muscular skeletal points correspond with a part
138
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.679
of the body if it were an
upside down or inverted fetus there in the
139
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:39.159
ear. And we know that it's
nothing new again, aurricular therapy is.
140
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:45.679
It's more modern now because we've proven
how it works with all our modern technologies.
141
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.759
We're proving more and more how it
works. But it's very very very
142
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:58.720
very ancient. If earning a certification

00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:45.200
rehab continuum is and lays out a
plan for developing and expanding a strong clinical
152
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:54.720
skill set through CE courses. Now
back to the show. We'll start with
153
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.039
allergypoint. But real quick, before
we move on to the points, just
154
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:03.799
a little bit of history. We
know that the ancient the ancient Chinese did
155
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.279
have aurricular points, so they did
exist, and that they are mentioned in
156
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:13.600
the Nejing and some of the oldest
books on the planet that do describe acupuncture
157
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:18.080
and list all the conditions that it
can help. But in nineteen fifty seven,
158
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.759
really when it started in America,
doctor Paul Noje and many of you
159
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:28.120
that are in acupuncture have heard of
him. His son now carries on his
160
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:35.440
legacy. He connected the somatotropic or
the inverted fetus correspondences to the oracle or
161
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:41.279
the ear to the urriculo part of
the ear. And when he did that
162
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:46.200
it Modern China just went kind of
nuts about this because they thought, well,
163
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:48.159
this is us and we haven't even
discovered this, and or maybe they
164
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:50.919
had discovered it and it just hadn't
written about it. But so the year
165
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:56.399
a year later, in nineteen fifty
eight, modern China initiated a massive study
166
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:03.480
and they did this study used doctor
Nogier's clinical effectiveness of this auricular ocupuncture,
167
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:11.720
and they found it to be incredibly
confirming and successful, and it just exploded
168
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.679
at that time, kept exploding.
So by the early seventies there were cases
169
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:22.240
researched for many, many different types
of quote modern problems or conditions in humans,
170
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.759
and one of those was a detoxification
of opiate withdrawals, and they used
171
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.679
it in the seventies. Actually,
beginning in about nineteen seventy three here in
172
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.039
the United States, there was a
doctor, an MD Michael Smith, and
173
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:41.639
he applied aurricular acupuncture to much of
his clinical work where he helped addicts withdraw
174
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:46.639
from opiates and crack, cocaine,
alcohol, nicotine, you name it.
175
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:52.360
And he actually used double blind studies
that began shortly after that, all proving
176
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:58.360
that these points work. So many
of you are familiar with NADA, where
177
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:03.720
the detoxification group now has the five
points they use for addiction withdrawal in these
178
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:09.279
addiction centers. It's a business all
in of itself. So a little bit
179
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:11.559
on the history. Wanted to cover
that, and then we'll go to allergy
180
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:16.080
point. We've already said that it
is at the apex of the ear and
181
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:20.919
then underneath that little ridge, they're
at the apex of the ear and the
182
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:24.919
main thing too real quick before to
remember, and I didn't mention this on
183
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:28.559
the slide on the master points that
we are going over today. They don't
184
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:33.639
relate to any one specific anatomical organ
but they do affect a broad range of
185
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:39.799
physiological functions, just as many other
body points do also. So in your
186
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:45.159
allergy point, it's used for anti
any inflammation responses. So you think,
187
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:48.360
oh, well, we can't treat
allergies under our scope or I can't do
188
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:52.039
that in my office legally, Well
no you can, because why you're treating
189
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:58.320
that rheumatic arthritis or any inflammatory response. Guess what, Whether we like it
190
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:02.759
or not, it will address the
energy in that human's body. And those
191
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:06.720
of you that are familiar with acupuncture
understand this even better more than I can
192
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:11.519
go into today. It will address
that imbalance in that body that's causing those
193
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:17.039
allergies, maybe to affect that patient
or that human more than necessary, or
194
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:21.879
it triggered that immune response in a
contraindicating way for that patient to not be
195
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:26.399
miserable with the condition. But it's
also used for a rheumatic arthritis toxicity.
196
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:33.080
It will also help if a patient's
in anaphylactic shock, not that we treat
197
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:37.399
that, but it could actually help
that. It excretes the metabolic waste.
198
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.360
It helps the body excrete metabolic waste. So all of these things are going
199
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.159
to help inflammation also. So I
put it in here. Wanted to cover
200
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:52.600
it because we treat inflammation every single
day in our offices as chiropractice, and
201
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.799
of course that's a perspective I'm coming
from. But even as the physical therapist,
202
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:02.240
your patients have inflammation in their body. It's a big eie nowadays,
203
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:07.200
but it can also be used.
The slide tells us to relieve XCESG and
204
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:12.279
it can also and I do this
quite often. I let the patient become
205
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:18.720
part of the answer. Instead of
me being the provider and me me,
206
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.839
me being the one that quote heals
them. I let them know they're responsible
207
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.880
for their own healthcare. That's their
body, it's their point. They can
208
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.799
stimulate that point. And one really
easy way or on the allergy point is
209
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.599
pinching it because it's so easy to
find. You just fold your ear and
210
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.680
then pinch that where that crease is
and not hard, but just three or
211
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:41.920
four times a day that allergy is
bothering, you can do a little pinch.
212
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.000
Also, we have press needles many
of you are familiar with, and
213
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:51.440
also occupatches, seeds beads that you
can tape on that part of the ear
214
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:55.480
and give that patient something to take
home with them so they have that in
215
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:59.200
their ear. They can stimulate that
two or three times a day by tapping,
216
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.079
and when you see them back in
two or three days to replace that
217
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:07.279
tape, you can ask them how
they've been doing with their own self care.
218
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:10.480
And that puts them in charge of
their health care and takes you out
219
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:15.599
of the role of paternalistic all doer
when we know that really they're the ones
220
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:18.960
that are going to be healing their
own bodies that we don't do the healing.
221
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:26.000
The next point is the endocrine point, so it balances the indocin hormones
222
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.319
and it can raise or lower glandular
secretion. Well we know, all right,
223
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:36.240
well, the hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism,
diabetes. Let's just look at where
224
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:38.279
that point is. To that point. The way I find that point,
225
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:44.000
it's to me, it's so easy. Just find that intertra tragic notch there,
226
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:45.880
it's right there in the center.
If you look at the ear as
227
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:51.160
a grid and you were saying,
okay, allergy points probably at twelve o'clock,
228
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:55.960
you can really you can pretty much
put the intertragate notch at five or
229
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.480
five point thirty, not quite six
o'clock where the low biz. So it's
230
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:03.960
right there where it's remember it's the
little green triangle, So you're gonna have
231
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.559
it's down there in the little groove
underneath the little rim or or fold of
232
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:12.839
the skin there, and that's where
you'll find the endocrine point, one of
233
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:18.359
the ten master points for perimenopause,
and that's for any of the perimenopause symptoms,
234
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:23.920
which could be cramping, irregularity.
It also activates the pituitary gland.
235
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:30.039
But it again has an anti inflammatory
and anti allergic effects, So again it
236
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:36.079
has an anti inflammatory effect on the
entire body and promotes water metabolism, so
237
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:41.880
very very powerful point for not only
indocrine disorders but also inflammatory disorders. So
238
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:48.720
there's an anti inflammatory point for those
of us who are supposedly only treating muscular
239
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:53.079
skeletal here in the state of Texas
anyway. So next master cerebral, let's
240
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:59.240
look at where that's at again,
the blue circle tells us that it is
241
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:00.480
on the surface, so you don't
have to look for it. It's not
242
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:04.119
hidden, and really it is part
of the lobe. And how I find
243
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:08.400
it is where the lobe meets the
side of the head. There the chin
244
00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:15.240
de mandible, and you go up
not quite halfway up that lobe will be
245
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.720
your master's cerebral And if you think
about that, when you go back to
246
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.880
the little slide that had the little
upside down fetus, the baby, the
247
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:29.200
inverted fetus, that's right there at
the head where the serbrillrum is. It
248
00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:33.240
does address the prefrontal lobe of the
brain, which we know affects decision makings
249
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:38.160
of some and initiates conscious action,
among other things. But it's used for
250
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:45.200
nervous activity OCD, fear, worry, neurosthenia, extreme fatigue, or lack
251
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:49.480
of concentration. And this point also
promotes deep sleep. I don't know about
252
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:52.920
you, but it seems like for
the last fifteen or twenty years of my
253
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:59.640
practice, almost everyone now over forty, and it's beginning to be even younger
254
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.240
than that out has trouble sleeping.
When you ask them, are you sleeping,
255
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:07.200
okay, they say no, I
have insomnia. They either can't get
256
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:10.759
to sleep or they go to sleep
and they wake up and they can't get
257
00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:14.440
back to sleep. This is a
wonderful point. I've used it many many
258
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:18.039
times and trained the patient how to
use it, or stuck that pressed needle
259
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:23.759
on there, or that bead or
occupatch. Wonderful, wonderful point class for
260
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:30.920
our attendees for promoting deep sleep.
So there's your master cerebral point. Next
261
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:36.880
is master oscillation. Now we're going
back up tour. Actually it's on the
262
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:41.640
tragus. Underneath the tragus, so
if you remember your anatomy, that little
263
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:45.319
groove there, that kind of it
looks like a little bud butting out there
264
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:52.920
at the base of the are just
below the helix route is the tragus,
265
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:57.400
and right underneath that rim is the
master oscillation point. It's really easy to
266
00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:02.640
find. It balances right and left
sides of the cerebral hemisphere. Is the
267
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:08.079
brain used in all the learning disabilities. Add dyslexia are a patient who has
268
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:12.559
who is sensitive to react or reacts
to medications. And we all know which
269
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:17.119
patients those are. They seem to
be allergic to air. No matter if
270
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.279
some one person in the room is
going to have a reaction. I know
271
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:23.519
I have a couple of patients they're
going to have a reaction. That would
272
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.079
be a great point for them.
And then it we just kind of threw
273
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:32.359
this in here I did. When
treating electrically, you can use a frequency
274
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:36.519
as high as two point five hurts
on this point. And again when you
275
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:38.799
treat electrically, we'll go over that
real quick for those of you in the
276
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:48.000
audience that might be using that.
Those frequencies we want remember when the patient
277
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:52.039
feels it, when they say,
ouch, it's too high, And the
278
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:56.240
reason they're feeling it is because it's
not going deep. The electricity is on
279
00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:02.599
the surface and it's just hanging around
on the surface and electrifyd that surface and
280
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:07.640
they feel it. What you want
them to be is just sub threshold so
281
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:12.200
or not threshold. You want them
to be where they barely barely feel it.
282
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:15.640
So you might start low, go
up to where they feel it.
283
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.839
That's usually what I do. I
start really low. The last thing you
284
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.119
want to do is shock their ear. It's quite painful. I've had it
285
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:26.599
done, and I accidentally when I
was training back in four two thousand and
286
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:30.480
four, had an associate doc was
practicing on his ear and with a nine
287
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:34.519
volt battery. Just one of the
stem pro pluses had it a little high
288
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:38.400
and he never let me. Ever
it hurt him and he said, no,
289
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:42.039
You're never going to do that to
me again. And I felt terrible.
290
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:45.400
It was just a second a zap, but it was so strong.
291
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:48.759
So I start. I just start
so low. I start on the lowest
292
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.480
setting of your device. Just learn
your device, Start on the lowest setting
293
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.160
and slowly turn it up. And
so the first time before you get the
294
00:23:56.200 --> 00:24:00.960
baseline. It may take you a
minute two minutes, but usually not more
295
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:04.640
than that to where they feel it. So when they say they, I
296
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:08.200
tell them I want you to just
close your eyes and focus on it,
297
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:11.599
and you might have to really think
about feeling it. It should be where
298
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:15.559
you barely barely feel it. That's
when we know it's going deeper. And
299
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:21.920
that's what you want. You want
that frequency to be barely recognizable to the
300
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:27.160
patient. So your master oscillation great
for any types of just balancing the left
301
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:30.759
and right side of the brain.
I love to use it on stroke patients
302
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:34.240
with post thelamic pain syndrome, which
we can treat in Texas. Since it's
303
00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:37.839
a pain syndrome, really balancing the
left and the right side of their brain.
304
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:41.640
So I use it quite a bit
with all the strike patients I've treated
305
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:48.319
over the years. Next is your
Master's sensorial and it controls the brain's cortex,
306
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:53.599
rebel cortex, parietal and occipital lobe. It's not a neurological class today,
307
00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:57.680
we're all doctors and you don't remember
exactly what all that covers. You
308
00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:03.759
can look that up, but where
is it located. It'll reduce any unpleasant
309
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.720
excessive sensation ringing in the ears,
which we see quite a bit as chiropractors
310
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.359
and blurred vision. Now it is
in the lobe of the ear. On
311
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:14.839
the lobe of the ear again,
a blue circle on the surface, easy
312
00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:18.279
to find. How do I find
that? Again, it's almost halfway up
313
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:22.079
the lobe, so when you start
really looking at ears, you'll see huge
314
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:26.839
lobes, tiny little lobes. I
see grown men with little, tiny ears
315
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.799
the size of some six year olds. So it depends on the ear.
316
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:36.720
They're all different. But it's just
about halfway up the center of that lobe.
317
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:38.000
So I would take the very middle
of that lobe. If I were
318
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:41.640
to fold that lobe in half and
go about halfway up where you have the
319
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:45.279
innertragic notch. But it's just to
the side of it. But it still
320
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:49.680
looks to me like and much of
the time on patients it's still at six
321
00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:56.039
o'clock, just a halfway up to
the antitreegus there up the ear. So
322
00:25:56.119 --> 00:26:00.799
that's what you'd be treating there again, paresthesias we see at quite a bit
323
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:04.960
with many of our patients with ridiculopathies, and then ringing in the ear as
324
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:10.720
we see quite a bit too,
but any unpleasant or excessive sensation. And
325
00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:15.200
I know you're probably thinking right now
about patients you have that have those types
326
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:18.279
of conditions that you could you could
help in your office today. Point zero.
327
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:22.880
Its location, very very easy to
find. I love it. It's
328
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.720
the helix root, the helix which
just comes all the way around the ear.
329
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:30.480
The rim of the ear is at
the very rude there right as it
330
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:37.759
joins into the concha of the ear. It brings the whole body into homeostasis,
331
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:42.559
balances, energy, hormones, brain
activities, so so so important.
332
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:48.200
I use it. It's almost an
instinct now. It just takes two to
333
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:53.720
three seconds electrically to stimulate the ear
five seconds of the most with an electrical
334
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:59.119
point or plus or whatever you're using. There's so many good tools out now
335
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:03.000
to use. Why not just go
ahead and do the point zero? To
336
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:07.960
me, the point zero just kind
of resets the body's entire computer. Because
337
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:11.839
remember those of you who've had the
minimum class, the one hundred hour class,
338
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:18.440
all yen and young organs either directly
or indirectly begin and end in the
339
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:25.079
ear. Again, the ear is
so so powerful. So if you'll recall
340
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:29.400
that in your one hundred your first
one hundred hours, all yen and young
341
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:34.920
organs either either directly or indirectly begin
and or end in the ear. So
342
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:41.400
this, this brings the whole body
into balance, resets the whole body's computer
343
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:45.559
or clock, whatever you want to
call it, balances or supports the action
344
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:48.000
of all the other points you're using. So why would you not reset the
345
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:52.559
computer and use point zero on every
patient? It just takes three to five
346
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:56.119
seconds. Why not do it?
I've had great success with it. It
347
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:03.400
controls the visceral organs through the peripheral
nerve gain and promotes willpower. So again,
348
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:07.880
point zero I love point zero.
I treat point zero on every single
349
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:15.039
patient. It's innervated actually and biologically
by the vegus nerve. And that's going
350
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:18.680
back to first and second year in
school. But it's consistent with a location
351
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:25.440
when you go back and look at
the little homunculus of the cerebellum, and
352
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.599
it's also reactive and this isn't on
your slide, but it's also reactive in
353
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:37.279
many chronic degenitive conditions. So another
great reason for us treating muscular skeletal which
354
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.160
I think most of us do the
majority of another reason to just put this
355
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.720
and never forget this point. It's
a beautiful, beautiful point to use to
356
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:51.480
help your patient every single day.
Takes about three to five seconds. You'll
357
00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:55.440
pick two or three points for that
day for the patient. You might only
358
00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:59.720
pick one or two master points,
and then an actual anatomical point the patient's
359
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:04.359
having trouble with, and you've say
adjusted or treated the patient with all the
360
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:11.039
other modalities and tips up your sleeve
and magical things you have as a doctor
361
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:18.440
or therapist, and takes you an
extra maybe thirty seconds to treat six or
362
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:22.119
seven points. So why wouldn't you
do that at the end of the session.
363
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:27.759
Or I know many practitioners who never
stick needles and patients all they do
364
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:34.640
is ear electrical auricular therapy and they
get incredible results. So that's your point
365
00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:40.279
zero. But those are just three
or four different ways you could actually use
366
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:44.880
point zero or use your electrical stem. If you use needles, you don't
367
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.079
have to leave the needles in for
twenty minutes. But if I do electrical
368
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:52.720
needling, or if I do non
electrical needling in the ear, I usually
369
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:56.160
will do one or two points max
in the ear while I've needled the other
370
00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:00.920
parts of the body. I would
be needling. So I just take those
371
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:03.880
out and then don't use electrical that
day, say, and they stay in
372
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:11.200
fifteen to twenty minutes. Shen Men
shen Men tranquilizes the mind. Where is
373
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:15.079
it? Okay? Well, it's
in an area called a scaphoid fossa,
374
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:18.880
or you might see it written as
triangular fossa. And on this picture here
375
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:25.599
you can kind of see it shaded
into where it's like a triangular shape flowing
376
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:30.000
into the upper portion of the ear. There a scaphoid. It's a sailboat,
377
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:37.160
so scaffoid. It's actually almost in
the not quite center of the triangular
378
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:41.400
fossa. And that shen men.
If you look at shen min, and
379
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:44.880
now I know you remember the allergy
point, they're at the apex of the
380
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:48.200
ear. They are on a grid. You almost have a perpendicular line there
381
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:52.640
where you could come straight down.
Some people have trouble finding shen men.
382
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:57.119
That's a divine gate, also known
as divine gate. So if you are
383
00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:00.799
having trouble with that, you could
always fold that ear and find that allergy
384
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:06.759
point and then right straight actually parallel
with it. You'll see shin man or
385
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:10.400
you'll be able to find it.
They're in the little scaffhoid vosa. Again,
386
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:14.119
everyone's ears are different. Then you
just have to kind of go by
387
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:19.359
their anatomy of their ear. It
actually alleviates stress pain. So again muscular
388
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:25.799
skeletal contreat use that tension anxiety,
depression, insomnia, there's another great point
389
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:32.240
for insomnia reduces inflammatory diseases, hypertension, and also fevers. But it is
390
00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:34.240
a key point, and all your
textbooks will let you know this. I
391
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:38.119
took a lot of this information out
of Terry Olson's book on Urricular Therapy,
392
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:41.759
The Manual, which I know most
of you are familiar with if you've ever
393
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:45.880
had a course in a urricular therapy
or occupuncture. It's a key point for
394
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:52.000
alleviating pain. So seems like just
about all our patients come sad but true,
395
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:56.839
but who else to We can help
their pain without prescription drugs or over
396
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:01.160
the counter medications that also have signed
effects, And this is a great point,
397
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:05.440
and you can teach them how to
use it. And again on this
398
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:09.279
one, it's used to use it
in sub acute, chronic or painful inflammatory
399
00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:14.240
conditions. And the reason why it's
it's so important, I'll just go a
400
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:17.839
little deeper here in its relationship to
inflammation. It is a key point there
401
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:22.400
along with spleen and we're not studying
the organ points today, but that's really
402
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:27.759
why it's so special for any types
of pain. And you don't hear about
403
00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:30.519
that so much. You hear it
tranquilizes the mind. It's called divine gait.
404
00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:35.559
But it along with zero point,
are two points that if I don't
405
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:40.200
do any other auricular therapy because I
say needled the body and you don't have
406
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:45.000
hours and hours to spend with each
patient, but I do have five seconds,
407
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:49.400
I'll just hit chin men or treat
chin men and our divine gaate and
408
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:52.400
zero point in their dominant ear.
Don't even have to do it by latterly,
409
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:57.599
but you can because we know there's
crossover in the brain. So many
410
00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:00.559
many schools teach to treat bilatterally but
because of that reason. So there you
411
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:15.839
go. There's shein min. That's
it for today's episode. Be sure to
412
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:20.039
tune in for part two of this
two episode training series, where doctor Kurbin
413
00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:23.160
will cover specific conditions that can be
treated with these master points, as well
414
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:28.880
as effect of bilateral versus unilateral treatment
on conditions. You won't want to miss
415
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:31.680
it. Our next episode drops in
two weeks. If you're ready to implement
416
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:36.160
what you've learned into practice, one
