Seeing, listening and asking questions are one of the most basic methods for diagnosing diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. You can judge whether a person is healthy or not by looking at the auricle. The disease is diagnosed through the auricle, that is, the external ear. Auricular skin is a part of the whole body surface, and all tissues and organs of the human body have corresponding acupoints on the auricle. Whenever the body changes, the auricle will react accordingly.

Cancer can cause corresponding changes in the ears. Normal people's concha, helix and concha cavity are smooth, neat and even in color, without abnormal uplift. When the auricular points have abnormal manifestations, the possibility of tumor should be considered. If the color, shape and feeling of the corresponding area of the ear change, it may be that there are malignant tumors in the internal organs, especially liver cancer, stomach cancer and esophageal cancer, and the diagnostic rate is very high. In addition to the visible ear changes, malignant tumors can also be diagnosed by the abnormal changes of pain sensitivity, heat sensitivity and electrical characteristics of ear points.

Ear wrinkles can tell whether the heart is healthy or not. Some people have an oblique wrinkle in the lower part of their earlobes when they get old. This small wrinkle means arteriosclerosis and heart ischemia. A large number of studies show that this small wrinkle is closely related to arterial abnormality. Wrinkles on the earlobe are a sign that the artery is happening when you are sick, so whenever there are symptoms in the earlobe, please be sure to check your heart in time.

People with dark purple ears and thick and full earlobes are prone to cerebral hemorrhage. People who rub their ears and wings with their hands and turn red are sanguine. When the weather is cold, the ears turn purple or deep purple, and people with swelling and ulcers are diabetic. If the heart is weak, the meat on the ear wing will also bend.
