Dear Tommy,
Although ear acupuncture does not form part of the Medboo TCM course, I would take the liberty of suggesting in this forum some web-based resources which I have used myself. (Even though eventually I have not found this type of therapy particularly useful, you may try it for yourself).
As far as I know, one of the main uses of ear acupuncture at present is the [i:9a0a8e1a1e]NADA[/i:9a0a8e1a1e] (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association www.acudetox.com ) protocol to treat chemical dependency (drug addiction, alcoholism, and a variety of mental disorders). They have a 70 hours comprehensive certification course with [i:9a0a8e1a1e]thousands and thousands[/i:9a0a8e1a1e] of practitioners trained worldwide, but the ear acupuncture technique itself is [i:9a0a8e1a1e]so simple[/i:9a0a8e1a1e] that you can actually learn it in a few minutes. It has been described, among others, in the article [i:9a0a8e1a1e]The Ease of Treating Addictions with Acupuncture[/i:9a0a8e1a1e] by Dr. John Amaro http://www.chiroweb.com/archives/10/18/14.html and in the article ([i:9a0a8e1a1e]in Spanish[/i:9a0a8e1a1e]) [i:9a0a8e1a1e]Acupunctura y Desintoxicación (segunda parte)[/i:9a0a8e1a1e] by Humberto Brocca and Sandra Tovar Curi in [i:9a0a8e1a1e]LiberAddictus[/i:9a0a8e1a1e] (PDF, 19 kb) http://www.liberaddictus.org/Pdf/0411-34.pdf .
The rest of the links follows. [i:9a0a8e1a1e]I would appreciate it if you could also post or send me the links you may have in relation with the questions asked in my other posts in this forum[/i:9a0a8e1a1e].
