hi...
theres something about the ear that has the acupuncturists sticking it like crazy. theres even maps that tie in spots on the ear that tie in to various parts of the body. look up ear acupuncture through google and you wont believe what you find.
there was even a scientific study that verified the accuracy of this ear body relationship.
after reading about this now i want to start sticking my ear to see if i can stop my sciatica.......pete
