Introduction of Chinese Auricular Acupuncture

　This article is about Introduction of Chinese Auricular Acupuncture . Embedded within the rigid curves of the external ear are the powerful ear acupuncture points that correspond to every part of the body. This incredible organ, the first of all our organs to develop embryologically, is not only the vehicle for the perception of sound and, thereby, our connection with fellow humans and the larger environment, but it is also an instrument that fulfills several other equally astonishing functions in the realm of medicine.

　　Whether small or delicate, normal or large in size and shape, traditional Chinese medicine demonstrates that the ear is an extraordinarily powerful nexus of energy through which the entire body can be treated because all of the organs and body parts are represented within its concentric folds. This configuration makes it a complete microsystem for the treatment of many human illnesses.

Auricular Acupuncture

　　Although most acupuncture practitioners are well aware of the system of ear medicine as a highly effective method for treating illness, perhaps they are less familiar with the power of the ear as a diagnostic tool for the detection of an existing illness, be it musculoskeletal, organ related or even emotional in nature, or the possible perception of one’s genetic predispositions.

　　This fascinating feature of auricular medicine, a direct product of the reflexive nature of the ear as a microsystem, provides valuable medical insight into the health of the whole person. Thus, not only are diagnosis and treatment accomplished through ear acupuncture medicine, but also numerous health disorders can be prevented through the discernment of the pathology appearing on the surface of the auricle when it is correctly detected and correspondingly treated. Auricular medicine is versatile as well, allowing ear treatment to be used successfully either as an independent therapy or in combination with other therapeutic modalities so as to reinforce the outcome of treatment.
