Ear Reflexology

{!firstname_fix}

Reflexology, as you know, uses pressure points to help with physical and mental stress 
and reduce pain. Your ears happen to be one area of your body where reflexology is 
often done. This can either be done by applying pressure with your fingers or even 
using clothespins, which is a common practice for this type of massage.

How to Do Ear Reflexology

You will soon discover that ear reflexology is just like hand or foot reflexology, but the 
pressure points are more minimal. Since the ears are smaller, there are less pressure 
points, but it is still very effective. You might want to sit in front of a mirror and have the 
chart in front of you so that you get the right location for the pressure points.

As with other types of reflexology, you want to be in a quiet and peaceful area, 
preferably sitting down and with no distractions. Put your hair back so that it doesn’t get 
in the way. 

You will usually start massaging the lobes of your ears, pulling them and pressing 
gently, then finding the earlobe pressure points.

Next you can find other specific pressure points, applying gentle pressure for about 5 
seconds, releasing for 2-3 seconds, then repeating the process.

Consider Using Clothes Pins

Another option is to use clothes pins on the pressure points instead of your fingers. This 
allows you to work with one area at a time, putting a clothespin to apply pressure, then 
moving onto the next. Many practitioners will use this method.
