ABSTRACT
Introduction Because of the reflexive property of the ear, various spontaneous reactions may appear on the auricle when there are disorders of the internal organs or other parts of the body. Such reactions include variations in shape, color, size, and sensation; the appearance of papules, rashes, and discolorations; and increased tenderness or decreased electrical conductivity. Close observation of these changes increases the practitioner’s ability to diagnose and treat the patient, both preventatively and concurrently.
