Abstract;We investigated how the positions of auriculo-acupoints differ in males and females using the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test (BDORT), originated by Y. Omura, B.Sc., M.D.. BDORT allows information on the internal situation of the human body to be investigated by observing changes in the muscular strength of the fingers. In other words, the method uses an individual as a sensor for muscle tonus. The influence of the internal genitals, the testis, the prostate, the ovary and the uterus on auriculo-acupoint positions were investigated. If an O-shaped ring formed by the fingers of a test subject could be easily opened, the points being stimulated on the auricle were judged to be closely related to the specimen being held in the other hand of the test subject. The results of the test were as follows: (1) Internal genitals responded mainly to sites on the triangular fossa of the left and right auricles and did not respond (resonance) to any other site. (2) In the case of the male test subject, the testis and the prostate (specimen) responded (resonance) to the left and right auricles, but the ovary and the uterus (specimen) did not respond to any sites on the left and right auricles. On the other hand, in the case of the female test subject, the ovary and the uterus (specimen) responded (resonance) to the left and right auricles, but the testis and the prostate (specimen) did not.
