ABSTRACT
Objectives • Identify the criteria for ear acupuncture point selection in a treatment • Recognize the multiple energetics of ear points by comparing their
use to the treatment of several diseases.
Introduction Assuming the clinician knows how to correctly diagnose and dierentiate an illness as well as how to precisely locate and select auricular acupuncture points for a prescription, it is interesting to see how versatile the ear acupuncture points are for numerous and unrelated medical conditions due to their multiple, broad-based energetics that are the hallmark of Oriental medicine.
