Ear Acupressure

Specific points on the ears are used to affect the internal organs of the body in the same way as the pressure points on other parts of the body. There is a relationship of the ears with other parts of the body. The custom of twisting the ear for the treatment of headache or hysteria is quite common in China. The treatment of piercing the ear for asthma is well-known in India. In 1957, Dr. Paul Nogier, a neuro surgeon in France deeply studied ear acupressure and gave it the form of an authentic science. Dr. Nogier calls it 'auricular therapy'. An extensive study of the method of ear-acupressure has been made in China too during the last ten to fifteen years. As a consequence, about 200 points on the ear alone have been discovered. However, only a few of them are of real importance for day-to-day illnesses. Dr. Rene Buordial, an acupuncture specialist in France, states that he would prefer to apply pressure on the points on the ears by fingers rather than puncture them with needles.
Everyone knows that the ear is the organ of hearing; some are aware that it is also the centre for the maintenance of body balance; but only a select few know that the ear is a miniature representation of the human embryo.
