Did you know what happens if you pinch your ear with a clothes peg?
According to reflexology, pressing certain points on the body can treat pain and problems in completely different parts of the body.
This area of alternative medicine has gained popularity in recent years because it achieves remarkable results.
The ear is a very interesting place for reflexology. It contains many nerve endings and its stimulation can help with a large number of health problems.
Using a peg is practical because it compresses the points from both sides. Besides, the peg works on its own, without you having to press the points with your fingers or nails for a long time.
It’s surprising, but it really works.
The ear has 6 acupressure points that are connected to other parts of the body and, when pressed, do truly remarkable things.
Here is a detailed description of the points mentioned, including an image that shows their exact location.
6 points on the ear
1. Back and shoulders
When you press the upper part of the ear, you will resolve back and shoulder pain.
Apply a peg to that spot for 60 seconds. Do this regularly several times a day and over time it should reduce your back pain.
2. Internal organs
This point is connected to your organs in the abdominal cavity.
If you feel discomfort in this part of the body, apply a peg to this spot several times a day. If the pain does not go away, consult a doctor to be safe.
3. Joints
This point is connected to your joints.
If you have pain in the wrists, finger joints of the hands or feet, ankles, knees or the hip joint, place a peg on the indicated point.
Improvement should occur for both acute and chronic pains. However, the latter will require longer-term application.
4. Nasal cavities and throat
The acupressure point in the lower part of the ear is connected to the nasal cavities and the throat.
If you are troubled by sinus infections or a sore throat, place a peg on this point. It really works well.
5. Digestion
Digestive problems are resolved by pressing the point just above the earlobe.
In cases of poor digestion, bloating or constipation, your problems should be resolved soon. Stimulation of this point can also be used as prevention of these issues.
6. Head and heart
The two most important bodily organs are connected to a point located on the earlobe.
Its stimulation helps with headaches and minor cardiovascular conditions. Simply massage the point regularly with your fingers or attach a peg to it.
