The ear is about 6 cm long and shaped like a shell, like a fetus curled up in the womb. It is an integral part of auditory organs, which can not only help to collect sounds from all directions, but also help people to accurately judge the direction of sound sources.
In fact, the role of the ear is not limited to these. As early as BC, China's first medical work, Neijing, once said: "Ear is the place where ancestral veins gather." It is believed that the ear is not an isolated organ, but closely related to the meridians and viscera of the whole body. Modern medical research also compares the auricle to a reduced human figure, which is related to various organs and tissues in the body. All organs and tissues of human body have corresponding stimulation points on the local skin of auricle. Once the organs and tissues are diseased, a certain part of the ear (called "acupoint" in Chinese medicine) will have certain changes and reactions. Therefore, when the auricular points are stimulated, diseases in corresponding parts of the body can be diagnosed and treated. Some experienced otologists can use the skin color of the ear. Some patients with coronary heart disease often have oblique wrinkles at the earlobe, which is called "coronary heart disease groove". The earlobe is very sensitive to vascular ischemia. Once coronary artery sclerosis leads to coronary heart disease, the earlobe tissue will also be ischemic, which will make the skin tissue of the earlobe shrink to a certain extent. This diagonal wrinkle appears in the diagnosis of coronary heart disease, and the accuracy rate can reach about 90%. People can also see doctors burying medicine seeds at a certain point in their ears or needles at ear points in hospitals to treat many diseases. In addition, Chinese medicine believes that "the kidney governs the essence, and the ear is the external manifestation of" kidney ","the ear is firm, the kidney is brittle ",and the auricle is long and the earlobe tissue is full, which is a sign of kidney vitality to a certain extent, so regular massage of both ears can play a role in strengthening the kidney, strengthening the waist, keeping healthy and prolonging life.
Ear massage methods are:
First, pull down the earlobe method: first rub the earlobe, and then pull down the earlobe 15-20 times to make it hot. The acupoints at the earlobe are head, forehead, eyes, tongue, teeth and cheeks.
2. Pressing the auricular fossa: firstly, press 15-20 on the depressed points at the mouth edge of the external auditory canal, that is, the points of the heart, lung, trachea and triple energizer, until it is obviously hot and burning, and then press the depressed points above, that is, the points of the spleen, stomach, liver, gallbladder, large intestine, small intestine, kidney and bladder, and rub them back and forth.
Third, the method of lifting the tip of the ear: hold the upper part of the ear with your thumb and forefinger, knead it first, and then pull it up until it is congested and feverish, 15-20 times each time. The acupoints here are Shenmen, pelvic cavity, internal and external genitalia, foot, ankle, knee, hip joint, Ganyang point and Fengxi point.
4. Massage the helix up and down and pull it outward: press and knead the helix up and down with your thumb and forefinger to make it warm, and then pull the ear outward 15-20 times. The helix mainly includes the reaction areas of cervical vertebra, lumbar vertebra, thoracic vertebra, lumbosacral vertebra, shoulder and elbow.
The above four ear massage techniques basically massage all parts of the ear, and the degree of massage must have the feeling of fever and burning, thus obviously promoting the blood circulation of the ear, and the information of this treatment will be transmitted to the corresponding zang-fu organs through the conduction meridians in the body, improving the functions of the corresponding zang-fu organs and playing a role in treating diseases and health care.
Step 5: Push the forefinger and middle finger along the lower ear root to the upper ear root. Put the middle finger in front of the ear, the index finger behind the ear, and push the middle finger up hard, about 40-50 times. After pushing, not only the ears are hot, but also the face and head are obviously hot, which has a very good effect on strengthening the brain and treating headache, dizziness, neurasthenia and tinnitus. But also has obvious cosmetic effect. A lady who loves beauty might as well have a try. After massaging your ears according to the method I taught you, you can push your ears back and forth vigorously. You can do a set of exercises for 10 minutes at most, and your face will obviously feel hot. When the blood circulation of your face increases obviously, it will naturally bring sufficient nutrition to your face and enhance the discharge of metabolites. Regular massage will make your face shiny and elastic. Finally, combing the hair with ten fingers can stimulate the head meridians, increase blood circulation in the brain, lower blood pressure, and effectively treat and prevent the occurrence of cerebral arteriosclerosis and cerebral thrombosis. The number of times of combing the hair by hand is not less than 30-40 times each time.
I just introduced a simple set of ear massage exercises. You can sit in bed twice before going to bed and after getting up every day. The method is simple, but it has the effect of systemic health care and treatment. In particular, ear massage can play a health care role in tonifying kidney, consolidating kidney, invigorating qi and treating qi deficiency. For the elderly patients with kidney deficiency, frequent micturition, nocturia, prostatitis and impotence, as long as they insist on ear massage for a long time, they can see obvious effects in a few months. For children with enuresis, asthma and infirmity, parents can massage their ears every night before their children go to bed, which can treat these diseases and strengthen their physique. This kind of treatment requires the patience and persistence of parents for half a year or a year, and you will surely see your child's body grow stronger gradually.
