It is now only necessary to attach the six Ear-Ricular Charts on the wall behind the patient, and refer to it to help locate the proper point on the ear side and position that matches the ear in question. Ear Diagnosis Researches report ear points show relationships of high conductance and possible problems in the related anatomical area. Although they cannot and should not be considered diagnostic, they can serve well if used in an adjunctive capacity to Western diagnostic procedures and laboratory tests. In this era of rising inflation, all health professionals are attempting to reduce costs to the patient.

A future article will discuss various frequencies recommended by experts, but for this simplified approach, a single frequency is neat timesaver in treatment. The ear is highly responsive to search current stimulation, so it is important to not pre-treat the points or zone while in the searching phase. Most body units are unsuitable for ear work due to high search currents that cause acupoint treatment during the preliminary search.
