Auricular medicine is an extra-academic medicine accepted and acknowledged by the World Health Organisation. It is based on reflexology and provides a new arterial response of the Autonomous Nervous System, called VAS (Vascular Autonomic Signal). It consists of an increased perception of arterial pulse in tone and intensity. This medicine is based on vegetative nervous conection.

Vascular Autonomic Signals, arterial system reflexes, are produced in response to different kinds of stimuli applied on the epidermis. Stimuli can be: physical, light (white, monochrome colors), chemical, biological, neurotransmitters, hormones, magnetic fields...

FILTER, material used in Auricular medicine, is made up of a rubber ring with two plastic surfaces, concave and convex, inside of which is the drug to be tested, with the excipient and active substance previously ground.
This utensil is neuter to the VAS reflex arc. When near the skin, the chemical substance inside the filter provoques an inflammation and stimulates the light photones passing through it; this experience indicates sensitivity to the product and causes VAS in the patient's pulse.

DETERMINING WHETHER A DRUG IS EFFECTIVE, ANODINE, TOXIC OR CAUSES ALLERGIC REACTION.

Being able to predict, with the aid of VAS, if a drug inside a filter is going to be effective, toxic or anodine before even prescribing it to our patients is an enormous progress, which we present in the book. This goal can be achieved in everyday medical practice, in a patient's home, the outpatient's departments, or in hospital through the use of:

- Polarizing Mirror Method, described by the author.

THE POLARIZING MIRROR is made up of a rectangular mirror to which a polaroid filter of its same size is adhered. When the mirror is placed near the pre-frontal region, cyclop's eye, different VAS responses are obtained, depending on whether the direction of the polirizing filter is longitudinal or transversal to the body axis. It shows the activity of the test drug filter which had been applied over the epidermis on one of the patient's arms. Any time this procedure is repeated it produces this phenomenon, which is regarded as scientific proof, in a similar way.

The object of "Auricular Medicine and Psychiatry" is to show new ways that contribute to solve diagnose and therapy problems currently found in psychiatric practice.
