Ear acupuncture or auricular acupuncture is a separate brand of acupuncture. The ears are micro system of the body. So you can think of the ear as being, let's say, a womb, and inside the ear, let's say, you have a baby, and it would be upside down so the bottom of the ear, here, would be more of the head, and face, and you have the internal organs here, and you have the spine up here, and the legs up here.
So you can think of it as a person, it's upside down inside your ear. So with the ear you can actually target any part of the body, and not just organs, you can also do the brain, you can also do hormones, you can get, pretty much, any part of the body with just doing the ear.
