All About Ear Reflexology
If you suffer from aches and pains in any
part of your body, here's a lesser-known technique that has actually
helped a lot of people. Apparently, by stimulating certain points on
your ears, you'll be able to provide some minor pain relief to various
parts of your body, and here's how you can do it using only a
clothespin:
1. Back and Shoulders
The upper-most part of your ear is
connected to your shoulders and back. By applying a clothespin for
around a minute, you should be able to reduce any tension that has built
up there. Try this several times a day to reduce shoulder and back
pain.
2. Internal Organs
The next spot down is said to be connected
to your body's internal organs. For minor discomfort or tenderness, use a
clothespin to help give you some internal relief. Of course, if you are
experiencing a great deal of pain, we'd recommend getting professional
help.
3. Joints
The upper-middle part of your ear is
closely associated with stiffness and pain in the joints. Applying
pressure with your fingers or a clothespin can provide some welcome
relief.
4. Throat and Sinuses
The lower-middle part of your ear is
connected to your throat and sinuses. When seeking relief from a sinus
infection or a cold, apply some pressure to this spot to help rid
yourself of any tension that has built up. A clothespin can also go a
long way when it comes to cutting down on throat soreness.
5. Digestion
Just above your earlobe lies the place most
commonly associated with digestion. Using a clothespin to apply
pressure to this point can help relieve some of your digestive issues
and minor stomach problems. You can also use this method in advance as a
preventative measure.
6. Head and Heart
Your earlobe is the point which is most
connected with two of the most important parts of your body - the heart
and the head. Applying pressure here can help promote heart health and
relieve any unwanted pressure in your head. This method can also be
quite effective at eliminating any pressure headaches.
