An Acupuncture Auricular Ear Model is a three-dimensional anatomical replica of the human ear, used primarily for auriculotherapy (ear acupuncture) training. It illustrates key acupoints (acupuncture points) located on the outer ear (auricle), which correspond to various organs and systems of the human body according to Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Key Features:
Detailed Acupoint Mapping:
Displays 50 to 150+ labeled acupoints on the ear’s surface.
Each point is linked to a specific organ, nerve, gland, or system.
Points are often marked with numbers and names, sometimes color-coded or with corresponding meridians.
Anatomical Accuracy:
Modeled after the "inverted fetus" theory, where the ear reflects the entire body—the head at the earlobe, spine along the ear’s curve, feet at the top.
Material:
Made from high-quality PVC, silicone, or rubber-like materials.
Soft-touch versions mimic the feel of real skin and allow needle insertion for training.
