The Study on the Distribution of the Healthy Young＇s Resistance Based on the Positive Oleson Auricular Map

Objective： Healthy auricle is tested by modem testing technology of physical characteristics to find the auricle＇s resistivity distribution of healthy. Drawing topographic maps offers objective indicators in order to use auricular physical properties measurement in the diagnosis of the disease to identify healthy auricle resistance distribution law. Methods： In this study the auricle＇s resistivity distribution of 60 healthy young people （20-30 years old） is surveyed by ＂Meridian Energy Analysis Device 5＂.Exploring the positive resistance of the auricle of the law with statistics and analysis. Study on the differences between the resistivity distribution of left ear and right ear. Map out an objective resistivity distribution map by Photoshop. Results： The resistance of healthy male is higher than that of female and the ears of the same subject are same. The resistance of auricle normal healthy people is different and has regular pattern. The pattern is that the resistance of the cartilage is higher than that of fat and the resistance of convex position is higher than that of depression position. Specifically, the resistance of Triangular fossa and Intertragic notch is the lowest. The resistance of Cymba concha, Cavum concha and Scapha is lower than that of Ear lobe.
