When I was watering flowers at home some time ago, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the rich bamboo, which had been dry for more than two months, had grown new roots, and the shriveled stems and leaves were rehydrated.
I can't help but sigh at how important roots are to plant life.
In fact, people are the same as plants, relying on roots to maintain the vitality and vitality of life, Chinese medicine calls it "divine machine", so where is the "root of divine machine" of the human body?
The answer that many people don't think of, it's ours – the ears.
In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a saying that "when the spirit is stagnant, the machine is breathing", and when the spirit stops, life comes to an end.
Although the ears are inconspicuous, they are the "universal remote control for disease adjustment" that comes with the human body, and the corresponding pain points can be found in the ears when there is pain or illness anywhere in the body, and the remote diseases can be adjusted in place.
Not only that, but it is also a holographic "microcosm" of the human body.
The internal organs, limbs and joints can find the corresponding reflex area, 6 meridians, 93 acupuncture points distributed on it, so doctors also call the ears like "upside down" babies.
How can such a good artifact be activated?
Ear exercises
1
Rubbing earlobes: strengthen the brain and prevent dementia
The earlobe is the head and face area of the ear, and the acupuncture points in this area are closely related to the human mind and cheeks.
Essentials: Put the index finger and middle finger together into the ear cavity, put the thumb behind the earlobe, and pinch the head and face area with 3 fingers as much as possible.

Ear plucking: Harmonize the five organs
The ear socket is the central area of the ear, and the acupuncture points corresponding to the five internal organs are all in the ear socket, and stimulating the various points in the ear socket can harmonize the five internal organs.

Rubbing the outer edge: strong limbs lead to longer life
The auricular points on the outer edge of the pinna should be applied mainly to the limbs of the person. In general, people with strong and agile limbs have a wider outer edge of the pinna, while people with thin limbs have a relatively narrow outer edge of the pinna. Long-term rubbing of the outer edge of the auricle can make the limbs stronger.
Essentials: Use the whole of your thumb and the majority of your index finger to grip the outer edge of your ear and rub it back and forth, 100 times a day.

Pinch triangle: reproductive health care, stay away from frequent urination
The triangular area on the ear is the triangular fossa, which corresponds to the genitourinary system of the human body, as well as the two major acupoints of sympathy and shenmen.
Pinching this area can nourish yin and nourish the kidneys, and can also adjust the autonomic nerves in the body and regulate excretory function.

Mole dorsity: Mole hypotension Motong blood vessels
There is a groove on the back of the ear, called the antihypertensive groove, which corresponds to the back of the human body. The function of the back of the mole is equivalent to pinching the chiropractic, which can regulate the qi and blood of the whole body.
Action essentials: Insert the thumb of the other hand into the ear socket, hold the antihypertensive groove from the opposite side of the index finger and middle finger, and rub the index finger of the same hand along the antihypertensive groove from top to bottom, rubbing 100 times a day.

Rubbing the whole ear: double the effect and make the body 100 times stronger
After massaging the various areas of the ear, rub the whole ear once. This allows the areas that have benefited from the previous massage to flow more qi and blood throughout the body.
Movement essentials: Rub your ears with the palms of your hands, back and forth 50 times, and up and down 50 times.
After these movements, if you feel that your ears are hot, your whole body is full of warmth, and your hands are slightly sweaty, it means that the effect has been achieved, and the qi and blood, meridians and viscera of the whole body have been exercised and cleansed.
Massage the ears to relieve pain

Swollen and sore gums: Press the earlobe

Angina pectoris: Press down on the ear socket
It often stimulates the ear nail cavity, commonly known as the lower ear fossa, and has a health care effect on the circulatory system. The lower ear fossa corresponds to the internal organs of the thoracic cavity.

3
Hiccups: Press the upper ear socket
The upper ear fossa, that is, the ear nail boat above the ear nail cavity, is equivalent to the human abdominal cavity, which is massaged here to help digestion and has the function of strengthening the kidney and spleen.

Insomnia: Press the upper and lower ear sockets
Insomnia, known as "insomnia" in traditional Chinese medicine, is caused by weakness of the heart and spleen and poor liver qi.

Pay attention to two points when rubbing your ears
1
Where it is uncomfortable to rub it
If the limbs are thin and weak, the focus should be on the edge of the ear, and if there are cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems, the mole back should be the focus.
2
Pain points can be a sign of illness
If you notice that there are several areas that are painful to rub, it may be a sign of some disease.
