Section of the division dividing the Lobe and the top of the
Helix Root. Slightly less than 1/2 way. Palpate for pressure
pain and /or look for Positive Reactions.

side, level with knee in the second quarter.
Function: Relives pain of strained thumb, arthritis
Thumb

the Triangular Fossa side.
Function: for knee pain, swelling

Decay.
Dental Analgesia
Location: found on the innermost aspect of the Superior Concha
where the Internal Helix and Inferior Crus meet at a tip.
Slide from the Large Intestine point until you meet the wall.

Hemorrhoid Point
Location: on the Inferior Concha floor, next to ear canal, below
the Helix Root.
