Keep the hands, fingers and finger nails clean and warm.
Finger nails should be trimmed properly to get a good grip.
It is advisable to activate the right ear for right side problems and left for left side problems, though in principle it can work for the whole body.
Acupressure is not to be done on full stomach or empty stomach.
Not recommended for exhausted or nervous patients.
Not recommended during pregnancy or on serious cardiac patients or infants.
Avoid ear acupressure if one observes scar, contusion or infection in the ear.
Stop treatment if symptom is aggravated or no relief is observed.
Generally ear acupressure is very successful, but often slower compared to acupuncture. If one doesn’t get results, try corresponding points at the back of the ear or a combination of ear and body points. If one still doesn’t get results after 34 weeks, it may be surmised that either the ear acupressure has not been given properly or the patient is not responding to this treatment.
