The field of auricular medicine has existed in rudimentary form as a minor branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for nearly 2000 years. In mid 20th century, French physician Dr. Paul Nogier observed and proposed the somatotopic correspondences of the ear, which marked the modern rebirth of auricular therapy. Starting in Western medicine, Dr. Li-Chun Huang was initially in training to become a surgeon. However, after one of her fingers was broken (caught in a car) during a field trip, she was reassigned to the TCM department in the school, studying under China's top auricular medical practitioner by coincidence, and the rest is history.

This switch in Dr. Huang's career path was a loss for Western medicine that turned into a massive gain for TCM. Since the 1960s, Dr. Huang has systematically documented over three hundred auricular points through her decades of extensive clinical research in major hospitals in China and the United States. Her background in Western medicine and TCM enabled her to integrate both disciplines into a comprehensive system with outstanding diagnostic and treatment values, applicable to fields including embryology, neurology, endocrinology, immunology, and many more.

Auricular medicine, a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has a rich history dating back nearly 2000 years, initially existing in a rudimentary form. However, it experienced a renaissance in the mid-20th century thanks to the observations and proposals made by French physician Dr. Paul Nogier regarding the somatotopic correspondences of the ear. This marked the modern revival of auricular therapy.

Dr. Li-Chun Huang, initially on the path to becoming a surgeon in Western medicine, encountered a twist of fate. During a field trip, she unfortunately broke one of her fingers in a car accident. As a result, she was reassigned to the TCM department in the school, where she coincidentally studied under one of China's foremost auricular medical practitioners. This unexpected turn of events proved to be a loss for Western medicine but a tremendous gain for TCM.

Since the 1960s, Dr. Huang has dedicated herself to extensive clinical research in renowned hospitals in China and the United States, meticulously documenting over three hundred auricular points. Her unique background in both Western medicine and TCM has enabled her to integrate these disciplines seamlessly, forming a comprehensive system that exhibits exceptional diagnostic and treatment values. Her system finds applications in diverse fields such as embryology, neurology, endocrinology, immunology, and more.

Dr. Huang's discoveries in auricular medicine have ignited widespread interest among practitioners, showcasing its immense potential.
