ABSTRACT

Introduction According to various authors, there are several hundred ear acupuncture points and more are being discovered through clinical research. Different authors have different preferred points. The 100 points I favor are those most commonly used in contemporary China and depicted on common ear maps, which I have modified through my own clinical experience. In the 20 years I have practiced, using the points and charts that comprise this book, I have never needed to consult another ear chart to find new points in order to address a diagnosis. The simple Chinese ear map has always met my needs of providing accurate, efficient, and effective healthcare for my patients.
