L’esprit de l’aiguille : L’apport du Yi Jing à la pratique de l’acupuncture = The Spirit of the Needle: The contribution of the Yi Jing to the practice of acupuncture

Acupuncture deciphers and heals human beings in all their mutations. The symbolism of Yi Jing joins the humanism of this Traditional Medicine for a dynamic reading of the changes and transformations at work in human beings. The double reflection generates a global vision of the human being and the approach to patients is changed. After an approach to the state of mind, encountered in these two fields, the author sets out to find the oldest roots of the notions of Yin and Yang. This allows him to identify the main strengths of the constitution of a human being and to deepen its symbolic construction. Three fields of application of this approach are then studied. The Extraordinary Meridians are viewed from a descriptive and behavioral perspective, which makes them extremely lively and familiar. Luo points, human being's relationship points with Reality, are also considered on a practical level using a symbolic reading of the links of Heaven, Earth and Man. Many examples shed light on these aspects. The last application is a detailed and comprehensive presentation of the fundamental and symbolic functions of the twelve main meridians through the hexagrams which correspond to their ancient Shu points. This original book is intended for any practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine curious to broaden their field of investigation. Dr M. Vinogradoff has been practicing acupuncture for 25 years. He is a member of the French Acupuncture Association, the French Acupuncture College and the Ricci Institute. After having published the complete translation of Yi Jing, in 2006 he published a novel, the action of which is set in Ancient China.

Auriculothérapie : Acupuncture auriculaire = Auriculotherapy : Auricular acupuncture

The auricle is a privileged place to observe and treat patients reflexively. It is endowed with both a particularly rich innervation, and brief connections with the higher nervous centers. It constitutes both a reading pavilion, to observe information coming from the organs and nerve endings of the skin, and a control pavilion to help correct abnormal information. It is a lookout post, placed bypassing the brainstem, on the path connecting the organs and the brain. It thus allows a fair control and an effective intervention. In this medical treatise on Auriculotherapy, historical and scientific data, medical explanations and bibliographical references are presented.
