The auricular acupuncture model is a tool specifically designed for the teaching and practical training of traditional Chinese acupuncture. The model is usually made according to the real proportion of the auricle and the positions of commonly used acupoints are marked on the surface. It can help learners intuitively master the distribution patterns and location methods of auricular points, and is an important auxiliary means for learning auricular acupuncture therapy.

The usage method is as follows

First of all, before use, make sure the surface of the model is clean and the acupoint markings are clear. Teachers can combine the auricular point map to explain to students the functions of the human internal organs corresponding to each area of the auricle, helping to establish a connection between theory and practice.

Secondly, in teaching, one can demonstrate the method of locating acupoints by identifying them one by one. Learners should follow the steps of "identifying the part first, then determining the acupoint" to operate, and be familiar with the distribution of acupoints in common areas such as the conchal cavity, conchal vessel, helix and antihelix.

Secondly, when conducting simulated needling training, a dedicated teaching aid needle should be used. Gently insert the needle to the marked point. Do not use real needles to avoid damaging the model or causing safety hazards. When necessary, magnetic beads, seed pressing and other simulation operations can also be combined to deepen students' understanding of auricular point treatment methods.

Finally, after use, keep the model clean, avoid direct sunlight and damp environments to extend its service life.

By operating with the correct methods, the auricular acupuncture model can effectively enhance learning efficiency and help students quickly master the location and clinical application of auricular points.
