In hot summer, rubbing your ears often is one of the good ways to keep fit in summer. Traditional Chinese medicine points out that massaging the ear helps to dredge the whole body's qi and blood, while carefully massaging the earlobe and ear fossa can also activate the functions of the head, internal organs and other organs, thus refreshing the brain, promoting blood circulation, enhancing immunity, and regulating the stomach and respiratory tract.

Sha Zhengping, executive director of the New North Chinese Medicine Association and a Chinese medicine practitioner, pointed out that rubbing ears has many benefits. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine mentions that "the kidney opens to the ear", and the big ear means that the kidney is full of vitality and good innate endowment. A long earlobe indicates mental health. If you can rub your ears 10 minutes every day, it will definitely be good for the blood circulation of the internal organs and the whole body.

Ear health-related acupoint reflex zone

According to TCM syndrome differentiation, ears are closely related to health. Basically, the lowest earlobe corresponds to the head and brain, the middle ear fossa is the visceral area, the outer auricle is the limb, and the triangular fossa near the tip of the ear is the reproductive system. In addition to massaging the whole ear, you can also massage each block in detail to promote circulation and relieve discomfort such as listlessness, backache and backache.

In addition, pinching the earlobe helps to refresh the mind. Because the earlobe is related to the head, brain, face and other parts, the fingertips of the index finger and middle finger are attached to the front of the earlobe, and the thumb is attached to the back. After holding the earlobe, draw a circle clockwise and counterclockwise for 5 times, and then gently pull it down for 5 times, which will help to refresh your mind, improve your intelligence, eliminate eye fatigue and warm your body.
