Have you ever looked closely at your own ears or the ears of others? Have you ever noticed that most of the elderly people who live a long life have large ears and long earlobes? What information does the ear provide to us about life? Today let’s get reacquainted with our old friend, the “ear”. More than 3,000 years ago, our ancestors realized that the ears are connected to the whole body and believed that “the ears are the gathering of the clan veins” and “the kidneys are the main reservoir of essence and open the ears”. There are reflex zones for the organs and tissues of the whole body, and the shape and color of the ears can determine the health status of people. Generally speaking, those with large, fat ears are physically fit; those with thin ears are weak and sickly; those with rosy ears have good energy and vitality; and those with withered ears are depleted of vitality and blood. When the body is sick, there will be painful pressure or changes in skin color in the corresponding reflex zones of the ears. We can diagnose some diseases through these changes, and likewise, we can treat diseases by pressing these reaction points or massaging the ears. The ancients paid special attention to the exercise of the ears in health care, and regular massage of the ears can nourish the kidneys and strengthen the body, cure diseases and prevent them, and prolong life. So how should we do effective exercises for our ears? First of all, we should be clear about the corresponding reflex zones of human organs and tissues on the ears. The distribution of these organs and tissues on the ears is like an inverted fetus in the womb, with the head facing down, the buttocks facing up and the torso in the middle, specifically the points corresponding to the head and face are in the earlobe, the points corresponding to the upper limbs are in the depressed part inside the ear chakra (ear boat), the points corresponding to the lower limbs and torso are in the most externally curved part of the ear (on the ear chakra), and the point corresponding to the internal organs in the slightly flat part above the ear hole (ear nail). Once you know this, you can exercise your ears with purpose for your own situation! 1. Lift and pull the ear screen Use your index finger and thumb to lift the ear screen from the inside to the outside, from light to heavy, with the strength of no pain, for 3-5 minutes each time, to treat headaches, dizziness, neurasthenia, tinnitus and other diseases. 2.Knead the ear tips Use both thumbs and index fingers to knead the ear tips 15-20 times; make the local area hot and red, which can prevent and treat hypertension, insomnia, pharyngitis and skin diseases. 3.Push the ear wheel with both hands and hold an empty fist, push the thumb and index finger back and forth along the ear wheel, regardless of the height of the concave and convex places, until the ear wheel is filled with blood and heated, which can prevent cervical spondylosis, lumbar and leg pain, impotence, constipation, frequent urination, panic, chest tightness, dizziness, headache and other diseases. 4. Press the ear fossa First press the depression at the opening of the external ear canal, press it 15-20 times until it is hot and feverish, then, press the upper depression 15-20 times, if you feel any nodules or pressure pain, you should focus on pressing it. The ear fossa is the reflex zone of the five internal organs of the human body. By pressing the ear fossa, you can effectively prevent and treat diseases of the internal organs of the whole body. 5.Pulling on the earlobes Pinch the earlobes with both thumbs and index fingers and pull them downward with no pain, for 3-5 minutes each time, to treat eye diseases and facial diseases. 6.Hide your ears with both hands, also known as “sounding the drums of heaven”, cover both ears with the palms of both hands, hold the back of the head with your fingers, and hit the middle finger with the index finger 24 times, you can hear the sound of “rumbling”, like hitting the “drums of heaven”. This method has the effect of strengthening the brain, brightening the eyes and strengthening the kidneys. 7.Massage the whole ear After rubbing the palms of both hands to heat up, massage the front of the ear backward, and then massage the back of the back forward and backward, repeatedly massage 5-6 times to unblock the meridians and regulate the organs of the whole body.
