The acupoints on the ear are more complicated, but if there are small situations such as headache and insomnia, we can massage the acupoints ourselves to relieve them.
1, gingival swelling presses the earlobe.
The earlobe is equivalent to the face. When "excessive internal heat" causes swelling and pain of teeth and gums, or a small pimple grows on the face, you can hold the earlobe with your thumb and forefinger, or go to the hospital to puncture the earlobe and bleed, which has a good therapeutic effect. You can still press the earlobe frequently to beauty beauty.
2. Burp and press the upper ear fossa
The supraauricular fossa, that is, the concha above the concha cavity, is equivalent to the abdominal cavity of a person. Massage here is helpful for digestion and has the function of tonifying kidney and strengthening spleen. Hiccup, called hiccup in Chinese medicine, is due to weakness of the spleen and stomach, and the rise of stomach qi due to eating bad food and overeating.
3, insomnia, upper and lower ear fossa should be pressed.
Insomnia, called "insomnia" in Chinese medicine, is caused by deficiency of both heart and spleen. You can press the "heart" of the ear fossa and the "spleen" of the upper ear fossa. You can put your index finger in your ear hole and put your thumb behind your ear and knead it.
4, limb pain rubbing the helix
The peripheral helix of auricle is equivalent to trunk and limbs, and patients with physical pain such as neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain should press the helix more.
Li Zhigang, deputy dean of the School of Acupuncture and Moxibustion at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, said: "As early as Huangdi Neijing, there was a saying that' hearing your ears likes and dislikes knows your nature'." In traditional Chinese medicine, there have long been methods to help diagnose and differentiate diseases by observing the changes of the color and shape of the ears.
Every part of the human body can find a corresponding position on the ear. When the body has problems, the relevant areas of the ear will also react. Normal people's ears are ruddy and shiny, which is a manifestation of adequate congenital kidney essence; The ear is dry and dull, which may be due to insufficient kidney essence; People with pale ears are more afraid of cold wind and cold hands and feet.
Red and swollen ears are mostly manifestations of "getting angry", which is common in liver and gallbladder fire or damp heat; Auricles are dry and black, mostly infectious diseases or late diabetes. In some parts of the ear, it is reddish or flaky, dark red, dark gray, etc. It may be the manifestation of digestive system diseases such as gastritis and gastric ulcer.
If there are nodular or cord-like lumps and punctate depressions in the ear, it often indicates chronic organic diseases, such as cirrhosis and tumors. The local blood vessels in the ear are too full and dilated, showing round and striped shape, which is common in people with abnormal cardiopulmonary function, such as coronary heart disease and asthma.
Li Zhigang reminded that hearing and hearing are only part of the "inspection" of Chinese medicine, and judging health and diagnosing diseases should be combined with other manifestations of the whole body. Even if you observe yourself on weekdays, don't blindly diagnose according to the book. This is alarmist.
