Location

On both ears, on the interior Antitragus and on the top of an isosceles triangle, with Testes and Digestive Subcortex as the base.

Cautions

Adjunctive only – never a substitute for anticonvulsant medication, and do not treat during an active seizure. Strict asepsis: perichondritis of the auricular cartilage is the significant risk with ear needling.

Indications
