A microsystem, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is the belief that the whole of the body is represented in a small area. The common microsystem that most people have heard of is on the foot. This system is know as reflexology. In the foot the entire body is found. A map of the foot is freely available for people to study everywhere. The image shows the head at the toe end of the foot and the pelvis at the heel end of the foot. The body has many microsystems, the common ones being the feet, hands and ear, but also uncommon ones like the abdomen, teeth, scalp and the spine.

The results for pain management have been amazing. There are over 200 points on the ear, each point corresponds to a body part. The outer ear acts like a switchboard to the brain.
