| Spleen C (Left Ear Only): Found on inferior concha, below the Liver point on the concha ridge. • Spleen E1 (Left Ear Only): In the original ear charts by Paul Nogier and René Bourdiol, the Spleen was represented on the superior concha above LM_20. Later European charts showed it in a different location on the superior concha. • Spleen E2: In contrast to the original ear charts by Paul Nogier, the Spleen has been represented by Raphael Nogier and Beate Strittmatter higher in the superior concha, between the Chinese ear point for the Kidney and the Small Intestines point.[37] |

| Spleen C (Left Ear Only): Relieves lymphatic disorders, blood disorders, anemia, abdominal distension, and menstruation. In TCM, the Spleen nourishes muscles; thus, this ear point is used to relieve muscle tension, muscle spasms, and muscular dystrophy.[37] |
| Energetics 2 |
| Spleen E1 (Left Ear Only): Western medicine focuses on the role of the spleen in the lymphatic and immune systems; thus, Europeans use this point solely for its physiological rather than its energetic effects according to Oriental medicine.[37] |
