Features: Auricular therapy originated in China and is an important component of the valuable heritage of traditional Chinese medicine. As early as 2,000 years ago, the book Huangdi Neijing, compiled during the Qin and Han dynasties, recorded passages on using the auricle for diagnosis and treatment, first proposing the principles of auricular therapy. It discussed the relationship between the ear and meridians, meridian branches, meridian tendons, and internal organs, and described auricular points. Currently, the scope of auricular therapy for treating diseases has extended to various fields, including internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, gynecology, dermatology, ophthalmology, and otolaryngology. Additionally, it can help with weight loss, smoking cessation, and beauty. Due to its integration of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, its simplicity, ease of practice, broad applicability, cost-effectiveness, safety, and significant efficacy, auricular therapy has rapidly spread in China in recent years, gaining popularity among the public. Internationally, over 100 countries and regions have applied and researched auricular therapy. In today's era of heightened public awareness of self-care, learning some knowledge of auricular therapy can not only promote health and well-being but also aid in treating diseases. This is also the original intention behind writing this book. It will serve as a textbook for beginners in auricular therapy and provide extensive materials for professionals seeking further advancement.
