# AT16 Dianxian (Epilepsy) – Auricular Points

癲癇 · diān xián

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.
