Features: Everyone has ears. The author starts with the ear, observing changes in the auricle's position, thickness, size, shape, color, blood vessels, ear canal secretions, ear canal polyps, and other "positive reaction substances" (such as papules, folds, scaling, etc.). Alternatively, specialized staining methods can be used to observe color changes in ear acupoints. Finger palpation can assess the auricle's shape, while tools like probes and pens can press auricular points to identify positive tender points. Additionally, ear information detection devices can be used to detect sensitive ear acupoints, enabling the prediction of lifespan, diagnosis of diseases, and prognosis evaluation.
This book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the fundamentals of observing the ear for disease diagnosis and ear acupoint therapy, including ear anatomy, ear acupoint distribution, the functions and applicable conditions of ear acupoints, methods for observing the ear for diagnosis, common ear acupoint techniques, and precautions for ear acupoint therapy. The second part provides clinical case studies, covering over 60 diseases such as infectious diseases, respiratory disorders, digestive system diseases, cardiovascular diseases, endocrine and metabolic disorders, neurological diseases, urological diseases, gynecological diseases, male reproductive diseases, and musculoskeletal disorders. It details the symptoms and signs of these conditions, key points for observing the ear for diagnosis, ear acupoint therapy, and lifestyle adjustments. The book also introduces how ear acupoint therapy can be applied for beauty, weight loss, acne removal, myopia prevention, and stress relief during exams.
The book is accompanied by numerous illustrations of ear manifestations for various diseases and ear acupoint treatments, with exquisite images that allow readers to quickly understand and learn ear diagnosis and ear acupoint therapy. This enables early disease detection, timely treatment for minor conditions, reduction of severe illnesses, and prevention of critical conditions, ensuring physical health and longevity.
The book is written in an accessible yet comprehensive manner, balancing simplicity and depth, with clear and engaging visuals. It is suitable for medical enthusiasts with a junior high school education or higher, as well as medical professionals, researchers, and students.
