Where is the ear reflex located in reflexology maps?

• A. Below the bottom of the 4th and 5th toes
• B. On the big toe
• C. In the arch of the foot
• D. At the heel

Answer: (A)

In reflexology, body parts are represented on specific zones of the feet. The ear reflex is depicted along the outer edge of the foot near the little toe, a distinct area separate from the arch, the heel, or the region under the big toe. This placement is chosen in many maps to reflect how the ear is linked to the lateral, or side, part of the foot in the foot reflex zones.

So, when you’re locating the ear reflex on a map, focus on that outer edge area near the little toe and slide along the side of the foot to find the tender or active spot. This is the zone that practitioners reference for ear-related concerns, rather than the arch, heel, or the big-toe region.
