Hand acupuncture and ear acupuncture are definitely different from each other, but they share some common aspects. Contrary to the western medicine which directly treat the diseased part, they both stimulate a body part which is remote from the diseased part in order to cure the disease. They are reasonably easy to learn and practice, compared to other acupuncture therapies which requires an expertise to do the same. Considering their great efficiency, they attractively lack any undesirable side effects.
In order to make the books more useful, both books carry case-by-case remedies that can be easily used at home. They also come with detailed diagrams and the actual instruments.
