According to the philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the body is an interconnected whole that may be broken down into several microsystems. An acupuncturist can treat the whole body just by inserting needles into one specific part of the body. In the case of auricular acupuncture, the ear is used to treat the whole body; the scalp and hands are also commonly treated microsystems in TCM.
