What are the effects of ear acupuncture

Auricular acupuncture is a method of diagnosing and treating diseases by observing and stimulating specific areas of the ear-cup (i.e., ear points).

It is advisable to use the thumb and forefinger to separate the inner and outer side of the ear, holding the pressure object, performing a pressure and a loose type of pressure, repeatedly pressing each point for about half a minute.
