Whether small, 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. is conguration makes it a complete microsystem for the treatment of many human illnesses.
