Do you see all these earrings in someone's ear and form an opinion? Well, it just goes to show you should not judge ,but gain a full understanding. As you can see from this picture most piercings are located in places that correlate to acupuncture points on the body’s meridians of energy.

It is not just our ears, we also have foot reflexology. It has been said that the ear can be used as a road map to the rest of the body, so having a piercing provide remedies for many lifelong problems.

If we were to have acupuncture in these spots on our ears they would only be stimulated for a short time. But what happens when we lodge a piece of gold or other metal in the same point every day? According to Mona Dan, “There are some piercers who have been permanently piercing acupuncture points for stress relief, digestion, insomnia and more. They’ve made it a niche part of their practice to use different acupuncture points to give constant stimulation in the areas. One common point that is popular to pierce is the Daith ear piercing, said to help treat migraines. Some who suffer swear by the piercing.
