I’m not the type who visits the doctor every time I have a little ache. I prefer to believe that mild aches are just a natural part of life. I’ve been physically active for most of my life so I’m used to having body aches, and I know they usually just go away rather fast and there’s nothing serious to worry about.
But when I came acrossthis article presenting this solution to treating mild aches, I was very curious. Hanging clothespins from my earlobe was not exactly a treatment I had ever imagined for myself. But upon closer inspection, I discovered that this trick is linked to acupuncture, which most of us have probably heard of. Nevertheless, I’ve still always felt a bit skeptical about whether it actually works, despite testimonies from friends who have told me that it has for them. Still — how can a part of my ear help relieve pain in my chest?
Well, as certified ear reflexologist Helen Chin Lui explains, “each ear contains a complete reflex map of the body, rich with nerve endings and multiple connectors to the central nervous system.” All considered, clamping a clothespin to my ear would certainly be both the simplest and cheapest medical treatment I’ve ever had. It sounds nuts, but I think it may be worth a try.
Each of these 6 different parts of the ear is said to be associated with pain and aches in various parts of the body. Applying pressure to each particular part of the ear can therefore relieve pains.
The highest part of the ear is linked to the back and shoulders. Place the clothespin for about a minute on this spot to reduce tension in your shoulders.
