Paul Nogier


Paul Nogier or Dr. Paul Nogier, was a French neurologist and physician who is considered the "Father of modern auriculotherapy", a version of acupuncture, an alternative medicine practice.

Nogier's Discoveries

Auriculotherapy

In 1957, Dr. Paul Nogier first presented his observations of the somatotopic correspondences of the ear, in which the external ear anatomically corresponds to an inverted fetus--the homunculus.

Nogier's pulse

Nogier also reported that there was a change in the amplitude and dimension of the patient's radial pulse when certain points on the auricle were stimulated. He called this the Nogier's pulse or Vascular Automonic Sign.

Nogier's frequencies

In the 1970s, Nogier developed seven frequencies A through G which he routinely used in medical practice for detection and treatment. In his practice, these frequencies are preferentially recognized by the body, so they enter into resonance to exert effects on the body.
