1 surface anatomy of auricle
In order to master the location of auricular points, we must be familiar with the anatomical names of auricles.
Helix: the curled part of the outermost edge of the auricle; The lateral protruding part that goes deep into the ear cavity is called "helix foot"; The slightly protruding part behind the spiral is called "spiral nodule"; The joint between helix and earlobe is called "helix tail".
Helix: On the inner side of the helix, the protrusion opposite to the helix is also called the helix body; There are two forks on it, the one that forks upward is called "the upper leg of the spiral" and the one that forks downward is called "the lower leg of the spiral".
Triangular fossa: a triangular depression between the upper and lower feet of the helix.
Auricular navicular fossa: the groove between the helix and the antihelix, also known as navicular fossa.
Tragus: refers to the petal-like protrusion in front of the auricle, also called ear bead.
Incision on the screen: the depression between the upper edge of the tragus and the foot of the helix.
Antitragus: the protuberance below the antihelix opposite to the tragus.
Incision between screens: a depression between the tragus and the opposite tragus.
Screen wheel notch: a slight depression between the tragus and the antihelix.
Earlobe: the lowest part of the auricle, without cartilage flap.
Atrial navicular: the part of the ear cavity above the foot of the helix.
Ear cavity: the part of the ear cavity below the foot of the helix.
External auditory canal opening: a hole in the concha cavity.
2 Distribution law of auricular points on auricle
When diseases occur in human body, "positive reaction" points often appear in the corresponding parts of auricle, such as tenderness, deformation, discoloration, blisters, nodules, papules, depressions, desquamation and decreased resistance. These reaction points are the stimulation points of auricular acupuncture to prevent and treat diseases, also called auricular points.
The distribution of auricular points in auricle is regular. Generally speaking, the auricle is like an upside-down fetus, with its head down and ass up. Its distribution law is as follows: (1) the acupoints corresponding to the head and face are near the earlobe; The acupoints corresponding to the upper limbs are in the auricle; Acupoints corresponding to the trunk and lower limbs are on the antihelix and on the upper and lower feet of the antihelix; Acupoints corresponding to bones are mostly concentrated in the concha and concha cavity; The digestive tract is arranged in a ring around the spiral foot.
