Popular science answers] Dear fans, hello! Thank you very much for your interest in TCM health preservation. Regarding the question you mentioned, rubbing the six acupuncture points on the ears is indeed a health preservation method with the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine in China. This method originates from the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, which can regulate the flow of qi and blood in the human body by massaging specific acupuncture points, so as to achieve the purpose of dredging the meridians, balancing yin and yang, harmonizing the internal organs, and strengthening the body.
The six acupuncture points on the ears are: the ear door, the auditory palace, the auditory meeting, the tip of the ear, the ear wheel foot and the back of the ear. Each acupuncture point corresponds to a different organ of the human body, and through the massage of these acupuncture points, the function of the relevant viscera can be affected, thereby relieving physical discomfort.
1.Auricular portal: Located in front of the tragus, it is the acupuncture point of the small intestine meridian of the hand, and massaging the auricular portal can relieve symptoms such as headache, tinnitus, and deafness.
2.Auditory Palace: Located behind the tragus, it is the acupuncture point of the small intestine meridian of the hand, and massaging the auditory palace can improve hearing and relieve ear pain.
3.Hearing: Located below the tragus, it is the acupuncture point of the Zushaoyang gallbladder meridian, and massaging the listening meeting can relieve symptoms such as tinnitus, deafness, and dizziness.
4.Ear tip: Located at the highest point of the ear chakra, it is the acupuncture point of the hand sun and small intestine meridian, massaging the ear tip can clear heat and detoxify, and relieve eye fatigue.
5.Ear chakra foot: Located in the lower part of the ear chakra, it is the acupuncture point of the stomach meridian of Zuyangming, massaging the ear chakra foot can regulate the stomach and relieve stomach discomfort.
6.Behind the ear: Located behind the tragus, it is the acupuncture point of the Shaoyang Sanjiao meridian of the hand, and massaging the back of the ear can relieve symptoms such as headache, neck pain, shoulder and back pain.
By kneading these acupuncture points, the meridians can be stimulated, so that the qi and blood flow smoothly, so as to regulate the function of the viscera and achieve the purpose of relieving physical discomfort. In addition, this method also has the advantages of being easy to operate, no ***, etc., which is ideal for self-care at home.
It is important to note that although rubbing the acupuncture points on the ears has a health care effect, it is not a substitute for medicine**. For some diseases, it is still necessary to seek medical attention in time and accept the diagnosis of a professional doctor. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the moderate force when massaging to avoid excessive force and injury.
In short, rubbing the six acupuncture points on the ears is indeed a scientific and effective way to maintain health, which can help us regulate our body functions and relieve discomfort. I hope my answer will be helpful to you. I wish you good health and a happy life!
