A study by the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom believes that tickling is not only a prank on friends, but also very beneficial to our health. The "tickling therapy" adopted helps to delay aging.

In order to verify this view, the researchers conducted related experiments.

In the experiment, 29 healthy volunteers over the age of 55 were called and given "tickling therapy". The main part of stimulation is the ear, including tickling and low current stimulation. Each participant received 15 minutes of treatment every day and received self-study at home.

After more than two weeks of testing, it was found that short-term tickling stimulation of volunteers every day significantly improved their mood and sleep quality, which was really helpful to their health.

Simply stimulating the ear can delay aging. What is the principle of tickling treatment?

The process of tickling therapy is also called percutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation. By stimulating nerves, it helps to balance the autonomic nervous system of the human body and recalibrate the internal control system of the body. The autonomic nervous system plays an important role in the human body, mainly supporting functions independent of conscious thinking, such as breathing, blood pressure, heart rate and digestion.

This tickling therapy is very effective in improving the health of people aged 55 and over. Because the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves in the autonomic nervous system of the elderly are often unbalanced, the imbalance between them will increase the risk of illness. Applying a small current to the nerves of the ear will stimulate the vagus nerve in the parasympathetic nervous system and restore the autonomic nervous system that is gradually out of balance to normal, thus reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as hypertension, heart disease and atrial fibrillation.

Our ears are like a channel, which can adjust the body system without extra drugs or invading objects.
