Subjects were randomized to one of three groups: (1) true group auricular acupuncture (2) sham auricular acupuncture or (3) wait-list control. Thirty-five subjects were randomized to participate in the study, but only 25 subjects completed the study. This study took place at the Washington, DC, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Medical Center.
Auricula shows 2014 trial#
This study was a randomized controlled trial with sham acupuncture and wait-list controls. There are several kinds but the most common are the double lilac, double crimson, and the double yellow.This study examined how group auricular acupuncture may influence sleep quality, sleep patterns, and hypnotic medication use associated with PTSD-related insomnia in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans. The single flower, being a common British plant, is rarely cultivated in gardens but the double varieties are very much admired. It soon became a favourite garden flower in 1629 Parkinson enumerated twenty varieties which he said were the best. A native of the Alps of Switzerland, it was introduced in 1596 and called the Mountain Cowslip. Primula auricula, is also called Bear’s Ear, or on cola, whence the name auricula. Burnard’s Formosa is said to have produced so much as to enable its owner to build a cottage with his profits.

Its well-known variety, the Polyanthus, with its numerous sub-varieties, are among our most favourite garden flowers. This species is much less common than the cowslip or primrose and has sometimes been supposed to be a natural hybrid between the two.

polianthus (Burnard’s Formosa), the Oxlip. Nearly all the species are natives of Europe. Few genera contain more well-known flowers and among these may be enumerated the cowslip, the primrose, the polyanthus and the auricula. The name Primulaceae signifies “the first”, in allusion to most of the species flowering early in spring. They are most abundant in the temperate regions and when they grow in the tropics they are generally found on the sea-coast or on the summit of mountains. All the species belonging to this order are herbaceous plants, generally of low stature.
Auricula shows 2014 manuals#
I bought this colour plate from eBay from a 1980’s Floral Prints book, and the accompanying information says that this is an illustration by Jane Loudon (Aug– July 13, 1858), who was an English author who created the first popular gardening manuals (as opposed to specialist horticultural works), and contributed to the work of her husband, John Loudon. The central flower is labelled “Primula eliator polianthus (Burnards formosa)”, and sometime in the distant past in my Dad’s side of the family, was a man who made enough money from this auricula to buy his own cottage. Contrary to the impression possibly given by the title, I’m not particularly into auriculas! I did enjoy viewing this auricula theatre at Courson flower show near Paris last year with my friend Mercy.īut personally, I prefer the more natural primulas, such as wild primroses, cowslips or oxslips.īut it turns out I have a distant relative (haven’t done the tree yet), who bred them.
