(Helpful Tip) I'll show you how to massage with clothespins.

The health tip I will introduce to you is the clothespin massage method.

There is a saying that "you can tell your health by looking at your ears," because the ears can be seen as a body organ that gathers all parts of the body.
Applying acupressure to specific parts of the ear corresponding to uncomfortable areas of the body can help relax tense areas and is said to be beneficial for health.
Let's try to relieve not only chronic headaches but also fatigue and promote health management all at once with a simple ear acupressure method using a laundry clip at home!

 

Introducing the laundry clip massage method

 

★

 

Any laundry clip you have at home will do.

 

At first, I brought a large one, but when I took a picture, the area kept getting covered, so I changed it to a smaller one.

Size doesn't matter.

I asked my sister to be my model because I have a piercing in my ear and can't do the laundry clip massage.

 

 

Please note that the connected areas vary depending on the number acupressure point according to the ear region.

 

1. Topmost part of the ear - waist, shoulder

 

 

This point is connected to the shoulder and waist areas of the body.
When your shoulders or lower back feel stiff or tense, applying acupressure can help relieve the pain and make it feel much lighter.
If you invest about one minute each day to give a massage, it can help relieve muscle tension.

 

2. Upper part of the ear - internal organs

 

This is acupressure technique needed for those who frequently experience internal discomfort due to stress or irregular eating habits.
Pressing the tip of the ear for about 3 seconds helps improve blood circulation and enhances internal organ function.

 

3. Upper central part of the ear - joint

 

If you are experiencing pain in joints such as the wrists, shoulders, or knees, it is important to pay attention.
Applying pressure with a clothespin or pressing with your fingers is effective in relaxing stiff muscles and neuromuscular tissues.
It is said to be the best massage spot for office workers who only tap on their keyboards in front of the computer.

 

4. Lower central part of the ear - paranasal sinuses, neck

 

This point is connected to the sinuses, which are holes leading inside the nose, or to the throat.
It is said to be effective in relieving symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and sore throat caused by allergic rhinitis and the common cold.
A massage point that is highly effective for those suffering from sleepless nights due to nasal congestion.

 

5. Lower part of the ear - digestion

 

It generally relates to points associated with digestion, such as when the stomach is bloated with gas or when the stomach is not feeling well.
If you experience loss of appetite, indigestion, diarrhea, or constipation, pressing firmly on this point can help.
Applying acupressure before meals can help prevent bloating.

 

6. Earlobe - Head and Heart

 

The earlobe is said to be connected to the head and the heart.
Pressing this point is said to improve heart health and alleviate migraines and headaches.
Therefore, it can be considered the best acupressure point for modern people suffering from chronic headaches.

The most painful was when I pinched the laundry clip on the upper central part of my right ear.

It seemed that other areas felt somewhat cool.

My sister said number 1 was the most painful.

 

Because I kept taking good photos for a long time, my sister's ears gradually turned red.

They said that good blood circulation is beneficial 😆)

 

I used the same clothespin, but the painful areas were different, so I found it interesting.
