Auricular point diagnosis and treatment is a valuable experience accumulated after more than two thousand years of practical development, which has been widely used in the folk since ancient times. Huangdi Neijing, the first masterpiece of traditional Chinese medicine in China, and medical monographs of past dynasties all recorded and affirmed the relationship between ears, meridians and viscera, but did not describe specific treatment methods.
In modern times, especially after 46 years' research by Professor Huang Lichun, the mother of otology, it has completely subverted the views of Chinese and western medicine on auricular point therapy at home and abroad, and developed into an independent discipline-otology, and auricular point diagnosis and treatment has also developed into a unique discipline in acupuncture.
Relationship between ear and viscera
"LingShu. "Five Readings and Five Ambassadors" records that "the ear is the official of the kidney". Ear is closely related to its corresponding tissues, organs and internal organs, which has also been proved in modern clinical practice. Ear points are not only related to internal organs, but also relatively specific.
Relationship between ear and nerve
There are abundant nerves in the auricle, including two major nerves from the cervical plexus of spinal nerve and the lesser occipital nerve. Branches of ototemporal nerve, facial nerve, glossopharyngeal nerve, vagus nerve and sympathetic nerve are locked with external carotid artery. Four pairs of cranial nerves and two pairs of spinal nerves distributed on the auricle are connected with the central nervous system. All parts of the human body have corresponding positions on the ear points. Although the ear is small, it collects the physiological and pathological information of all organs and tissues in the whole body. This part is not only the epitome of the whole body, but also affects the whole body. Reasonable stimulation of these holographic auricular points can adjust the functional state of the whole body. Therefore, auricular points can not only diagnose diseases, but also treat and prevent diseases.
