Where are the acupuncture pressure points for the ears?


Answer:
It's called auricular acupuncture, an acupuncture field in it's own right.
"There are as many as two hundred acupuncture points on the outer ear, each point named generally after areas of our anatomy, i.e. knees, hips, shoulders, liver, heart etc. The outer ear acts like a switchboard to the brain. Each acupoint on the ear, when treated, triggers electrical impulses, from the ear, via the brain, to the specific area of the body that is being treated. Therefore if someone had a painful knee, for example, by treating the 'knee' acupoint on the ear, it would help alleviate the pain."More here: http://www.auricularacupuncture.org.uk/w...
there are several and each means or does something different. do some research.
The ears like the feet have numerous accupressure points and doing an overall massage of either will leave you feeling great. The ears are nice because a massage only takes a few minutes, you can do it anytime of day and you can do it by yourself.
