The helix has been regarded as a long and healthy thing since ancient times, and from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the ear is the external manifestation of the kidney. Isn't there a saying that "the kidney begins to see in the ear"?
That's what I'm saying. To some extent, big ears mean strong kidney qi.
But if the helix is abnormal, you need to consider whether you have kidney deficiency.
The observation of ears mainly starts from three aspects: color, luster and shape, while Chinese medicine diagnoses diseases for patients from the following aspects.
First, the rise and fall of the spiral
The rise and fall of helix is closely related to the rise and fall of kidney essence, which is the external expression of whether kidney essence is sufficient or not. This is why the ancients thought that people with big ears were blessed.
Second, listen.
The kidney opens to the ear. When the renal function is normal, all kinds of sounds can be heard in both ears. When kidney essence and kidney qi deficiency fail, the hearing of the ear will decline.
Third, the whole
As a whole, normal people's ears are ruddy and shiny, indicating that kidney essence is sufficient. Fourth, people with thin helix and thick ears have sufficient kidney qi, while those with thin helix have insufficient kidney qi.
Fifth, the ears are red and swollen.
If the ears are suddenly red and swollen, they are mostly "getting angry", which is mostly caused by liver and gallbladder fire or damp heat.
Six, pale ears
If the ear color is pale, it may be caused by a cold or a lack of yang. Most of these people are afraid of cold and bad wind, often accompanied by cold hands and feet.
Seven, black ears
If a person's ears show the color of black charcoal, it means that this person's kidney qi has declined and is dying.
Now that we know how to judge whether we have kidney deficiency, here are some ways to nourish kidney qi and prevent abnormal ears.
First, massage the helix.
Hold your hands in an empty fist shape, and then rub the helix with your thumb and forefinger until the helix is hot.
Second, the ancient days of Ming Dynasty
This method can activate the kidney, and has the functions of strengthening the brain, improving eyesight and strengthening the kidney. Specific operation method: cover your ears tightly with your hands, then hold the back of your head with your fingers, put your index finger on your middle finger, and then bounce down to generate bounce force, which bounces up for 24 times.
Third, the plug-in method
This method has the effects of strengthening the brain, benefiting the kidney, hearing and improving eyesight, and can be used to treat impotence, frequent urination, constipation and lumbago and leg pain.
There is an important point in our ears-Listening Point, which is located in our ears, so we should massage this point as much as possible.
We can pull out our ears with our fingers for massage. The specific operation is as follows: straighten two index fingers, insert them into ear holes, gently twist them, massage for about half a minute, and then suddenly pull out your fingers in the forward direction, preferably with sound, for 5 ~ 10 times.
