He puts a clothespin on his ear for a BRIGHT reason. Have you tried it?

I’m not the kind of person who goes to the doctor every time I feel a little pain or discomfort. After all, pain is a part of life. Instead, I prefer to think of myself as having a little more control over my own body.

So when I saw this unique method of providing mild pain relief using my ears, I was obviously skeptical, but also very curious.

Certified reflexologist Helen Chin Lui writes, ” Each ear contains a map that is a complete reflection of the body, they are rich in nerve endings and multiple connections to the central nervous system .”

I can’t always stretch in the middle of my office, and I know the doctor can’t always help ease the pain – but something as simple as putting a clothespin in my ear? Well, it sounds weird, but it’s a simple thing to try. Isn’t it worth the test?

The upper part of the ear connects directly to the back and shoulders. Applying a clothespin for about a minute can reduce built-up tension. Try this several times a day to relieve back and shoulder pain.

2. Organs

The next point down on the ear is the one connected to the organs of the body. Obviously, if you have severe internal pain, you should see a doctor. But for minor internal pain or discomfort, use a clothespin or your fingers on this spot. It may give you some of the inner relief you seek.

3. Joints

The lowest part of the ear – the lobe – is the place that is connected to two of the most important parts of the body: the head and the heart. Applying pressure to the earlobe can improve heart health and relieve unwanted pressure on the head. This method can be very effective in getting rid of headaches.
