The Chinese have been doing it for centuries, as have other Asian cultures. Increasing numbers of
Westerners are doing it too. Ear rubbing or ear reflexology that is; massaging of the ears to improve health,
calm the emotions and enhance the general sense of well being.
Your ears, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a complete medical system which has developed
continuously over at least 2500 years, contain reflexology areas that when stimulated by acupuncture needles or
finger pressure influence corresponding body parts. For instance, if you have stomach problems you would stimulate
the stomach reflexology area on each ear, for eye problems, the eye reflexology areas.
