ABSTRACT
Introduction Adept knowledge of ear anatomy is crucial for precise location of the ear acupuncture points. Like body acupuncture points, the location of auricular acupoints is defined in anatomical language. These definitions give the practitioner a clear roadmap as to where the points are located. This anatomical language is easy to learn and essential if one chooses to utilize the ear frequently in clinical practice. Obviously, correct ear point location is also imperative in order to achieve successful results in treatment.
