Foot reflexology · zone
Superior triangular fossa — Right ear
Placement
Location: In the triangular fossa — the hollow enclosed between the superior and inferior crura of the antihelix — in its upper-anterior corner, close to the superior crus.
Longitudinal zone(s): of 5
Side: right ear
Tradition: WHO auricular nomenclature
Traditional use
Named in the standard by its anatomical position; Chinese charts also label it as a blood-pressure point, which is a chart label rather than a claim about effect.
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
Bu alan bazi Cin cizelgelerinde kan basinci etiketi tasir. Bu bir cizelge etiketidir; kan basincini degistirdigine dair kanit yoktur. Yuksek tansiyon ilac ve duzenli takip gerektirir - refleksoloji bunlarin yerine gecmez ve hicbir ilac bu nedenle kesilmemelidir. Kikirdak/perikondrit ve kulak tohumu taban uyarisi da eklenmelidir.

Which tradition does this placement come from?
WHO auricular nomenclature. The major schools broadly agree on this placement.
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?
