Ear Reflexology Chart
The ear contains a complete map of the body based on Dr. Paul Nogier's inverted-fetus model (1957), with 91 points formally standardized by the WHO in 1990. This chart covers the lateral (outside) view.
46 pressure points across 1 view.
On a ear reflexology chart, each point on the ear lines up with an organ or gland elsewhere in the body. This one is interactive: 46 points from the Auriculotherapy. Tap any point to see the organ it connects to and the research on it.
Our ear map follows Dr. Paul Nogier's auriculotherapy: the inverted-fetus model he described in 1957, later standardized by the World Health Organization in 1990. It is the most research-backed of the reflexology traditions. Compare traditions →

Ear reflexology chart: common questions
What is a ear reflexology chart?
It's a map of the ear showing which points line up with which organs and body systems. The idea in reflexology is that pressing a point stimulates the organ it connects to. This chart follows the Auriculotherapy (Nogier / WHO) and has 46 points across the ear-lateral view.
How many pressure points are on the ear reflexology map?
46. Tap any point on the chart above and you'll see the organ or gland it connects to, plus any research we've found on it.
How do you read a ear reflexology chart?
Find the part of the ear that lines up with the organ you want to work, then press with steady, firm pressure. Every point in the table below links to its organ, its body system, and any studies we have.
Is the ear reflexology map the same in every tradition?
No. This one follows the Auriculotherapy (Nogier / WHO) (France, Dr. Paul Nogier). Chinese reflexology and a few other traditions put some of the organ points in different places. Our traditions page walks through the differences.
