Traditional use
Nogier's reference landmark, used in the French school to orient the whole auricular map; it is not a WHO/GB standard point name, although it falls on the same anatomical ridge as the standard ear-centre point.
Reflexology is a traditional practice, not an evidence-based medical treatment. Systematic reviews have not shown it to be effective for any medical condition. These maps document what practitioners traditionally use — they are not claims about how the body works.
Care and caution
The skin here lies directly on auricular cartilage and is usually tender; never work an ear with broken, inflamed or infected skin, since perichondritis of the auricle is a recognised complication of ear needling and piercing.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the point zero reflex area on the ear?+
On the crus of the helix at its origin, where the ridge leaves the anterior wall of the auricle — the notch felt just where the helix crus begins, slightly anterior to the standard ear-centre point.
Which tradition does this placement come from?+
Chinese reflexology. Other schools place this area differently; the variants are documented on this page.
Does pressing this area treat the organ it is named after?+
No. Reflexology maps are traditional diagrams, not descriptions of anatomy or physiology. Systematic reviews have not found reflexology to be an effective treatment for any medical condition.
Is there anything to be careful about?+
The skin here lies directly on auricular cartilage and is usually tender; never work an ear with broken, inflamed or infected skin, since perichondritis of the auricle is a recognised complication of ear needling and piercing.
