Ear reflexology involves massaging different parts of the ear to stimulate reflex points connected to different body parts, based on the concept of meridian pathways in traditional Chinese medicine. The ear is divided into ten regions that correspond to parts of the body. Basic self-massage techniques involve massaging the whole ear or ear lobe, while more targeted techniques use finger pressure or magnets on specific points to treat conditions like weight loss, smoking cessation, stress, insomnia, hair loss and more. Ear reflexology is considered a safe and effective treatment.
2. EAR REFLEXOLOGY
By massaging the different parts of the ear with
the fingers we will stimulate the reflex point
connected to different body parts. Oriental
Medicine is based on the circulation of
electro-magnetic (E.M.) energy
called Chi (Qi)
3. How it Works
These vessels are called meridians, pathways
of E.M. energy. These meridians connect
directly to the Ear like telephone lines.
Imagine the ear is a satellite dish and the
Acu-points are like television sets connected
to separate programming feeding from the
different body parts.
6. Basic Method
Number one is
Massage the whole ear
Rub hands together briskly and cover
ears and hold for 15 seconds. Again rub
hands together briskly and then bend
ear forward and cover the bent ear for
15 seconds.
8. Ear Lobe Massage
You will pinch and pull
the ear lobe from the
inside to the outside with
the thumb and index
finger for 3-5 minutes
morning and evening.

prevent the common
cold. Obviously when
the ear lobe is inflamed
do not massage.

20. EAR REFLEXOLOGY is
Ear Acu-point Pressure
Ear Reflexology with finger tips is one of
preferred methods. Using the index finger to
locate tender points or pre-selected points
press in a clockwise motion gradually harder
and harder until a sensation of heat or
discomfort.
21. Fingernail Alternative
Alternative method using thumbnail on acu-
point on front of ear and index fingernail on
back of ear, Squeezing each point 30-60 times.
If you have strong constitution or excess
condition the more frequently and harder you
want to press. For weak constitution and
deficiency condition the fewer times you want to
press.
22. Direct Acu-point Pressure
This technique is great for relieving pain, indigestion,
preserving health, and preventing disease. This
method is also suitable for infants, children and
sensitive patients.
23. Bare Ear Swab
Take an ear swab and remove the tip or
cut in half. Use the bare tip to find the
tender points in Cymba Concha, Cavum
Concha, etc. or any points that are
tender. Then with increasingly harder
pressure press for 1-2 minutes until you
have the sensation of heat or pain in the
local area.
24. Piezo Quartz Pen
Electrical Stimulation of Acu-point.
Tip of Pen can be used to locate
sensitive points. Once point is located.
Activate pen by clicking 20 times in each
point 3 times per day.
25. Ear Acu-Magnetic Therapy
Using magnetic therapy in the ear was used
by the Chinese as early as the Ming Dynasty.
It was used for deafness, relief of pain and
itching, insomnia, asthma, and nervous
disorders. Modern Chinese have used ear
magnetic therapy successfully in 60% of
cases for many types of dermatitis, pain,
inflammation, abdominal diseases and
addictions with another 30% having a
positive effect.
26. Ear Reflex Acu-Points
There are over 200 acupuncture points in
the ear. Each acu-points leads to a
region of the body through a pathway of
energy that circulates electro-magnetic
energy in the body.
27. Ear Magnet Reflexology
There are specific sites in the ear that suppress
desire for nicotine, appetite and alleviate
anxiety. We use 5000 gauss magnets to create
acupressure on specific acu-points. To create
the magnetic field we place a pair of magnets
on either side of the acu-point. This will affect
points close in proximity which has a beneficial
effect.
28. Ear Acu-Magnet Treatments
The diagrams show regions for the areas where
you will place the magnets. Wear the magnets
30-60 minutes daily. You will vary the points
even though there may be three or more points
listed. One ear is usually more sensitive than
the other so we will use both ears for treatment.
Try two magnets in each ear. It is suggested
that you use no more than four points each
day. Treatment lasts for six weeks. Take two
weeks off and then repeat until desired result.
