Auricular Master Points
Location
The junction of the internal helix and the adjacent section of the inferior crus of the antihelix. The Sympathetic point is covered by the brim of the helix root above it, thus making it difficult to view directly from the external surface of the ear. The tip of an ear pointer probe should be directed along a horizontal plane parallel to the inferior crus below, aimed toward the medial side of the ear next to the head. [37]

Notes
Energetics 1
Balances the complementary divisions of the autonomic nervous system, reducing excess excitement of sympathetic nervous system overactivation and facilitating the calming effects of parasympathetic sedation. The Sympathetic point is the primary ear point for diagnosing visceral pain and for enhancing general sedation. It improves blood circulation by facilitating vasodilatation, thus improving either hypertension or hypotension. [37]
Energetics 2
It is reactive when someone suffers from an irregular heart rate, rapid heartbeats, angina pain, Raynaud’s disease, visceral pain from dysfunctional internal organs, spasms in smooth visceral muscles, or neurovegetative disequilibrium. It is used for the treatment of kidney stones, gallstones, asthma, gastric ulcers, abdominal distension, and other dysfunctions of the autonomic nervous system.[37]
