Karṇa-abhyaṅga — ear focus

Ear oiling / lateral head proxy

The ear focus records the daily-regimen tradition of karṇa oiling and uses one anatomical-right ear proxy to keep the front-view figure legible. This is a target-organ projection of an oil-therapy classification, not a claim about hearing anatomy or a universally prescribed procedure.

Caraka Saṃhitā (primary_canonical)

Sūtrasthāna 5 names oiling of the ears in the daily regimen; the single front-view ear proxy is editorial because the text does not supply normalized coordinates.

Vasant Lad, Ayurveda: The Science of Self-Healing (secondary)

Modern teaching synthesis for karṇa oiling and the head/ear regimen; used to orient the attention point, not as canonical anatomy.
