The prima vista diagnostics of functional and organic disbalance through the changes of AP points on the cochlea has proved to be an interesting and useful technique. Long before the first symptoms of the disease and immediately after that, painful points can be observed on the front relief point of the ear while with chronic condition some areas may redden or be covered with scales, blisters, ulcers, etc. This fact was well-known 30 years ago when P. Nogier wrote: "The changes in the projection zones long before the clinical manifestation of the disease can help predict the coming danger."
The diagnosis I would like to draw your attention to is different - less known but more rapid and effective. It uses not the front but the back surface of the cochlea and it is also visual and palpatory, the difference being that it is not based on AP points but on blood vessels. The presence or absence of blood vessels on the back surface of the ear, their caliber, and route can show which organ has been damaged as well as the stage of the process-chronic, subchronic, acute. These diagnostics are very similar to the diagnostics San Dzyan (three cavities in the body) and pulse diagnostics. Like the latter, it takes into account the blood vessels and that is why they can be successfully applied in combination. While the ear diagnostics are directed organo-topi-cally, pulse diagnostics shows and evaluates mainly the functional activities of the organs and systems, their condition at a given time from the point of view of vegetative indices tone, vegetative protection.
