| Why the ear can be used to diagnosis and treat disease?
Auricular Therapy integrates Western and Chinese theories of health as balance and equilibrium.

The use of the ear is based on the rich and multiple connections which it has with the central nervous system. The shape of the body is projected onto the ear and every point of the body corresponds to a point of the ear.  P. Nogier proposed the theory of "reversed embryo."  With this theory, it is very easy to understand why it is so efficient to treat the diseases of the whole body by simply stimulating the specific points on the ear.

Furthermore, based on TCM, the ear is believed to have a close relationship with the twelve channels and collaterals, and is the place where the meridians pass through, end and intersect with each ear. Treating the ear can stimulate the channels and collaterals, which results in improving the health condition.  Based on the records of the ancient Chinese medical books, Auricular Therapy has been used to treat diseases in China for about 2000 years.
