Ear acupuncture originated in ancient China. The methods of diagnosing diseases and stimulating auricle to prevent and treat diseases were recorded in ancient documents in China, but it was not until modern ear acupuncture that great progress was made and a relatively perfect therapy was formed.
Precautions for ear acupuncture:
1, needles must be strictly sterilized, and it is best to use disposable needles for intradermal needles. Poor disinfection can easily cause ear infections.
2, ear point disinfection should adhere to the two-step disinfection method of using iodine first and then ethanol.
3. When pressing pills at ear points, don't use the method of hanging pills, otherwise it will easily damage the epidermis.
