Not only using pressure points in your ear to release tension in your shoulders or neck it also may help you to get rid of headaches and earaches.

The pressure points on your ear are called the “auricular points.”

Headaches may be related to stress, allergies, or sinus congestion, treatment with acupressure is fairly low risk and it might be worth a try.

Pressure points for earaches and headaches

If you would like to try acupressure to treat a headache or earache, follow these steps:

1. Make sure you are in a relaxed and quiet setting, and in a comfortable position. Breathe in deeply for several breaths before beginning your treatment.
2. Using a firm, deep pressure, massage the pressure points you have identified on your body. Rotate your fingers in a circular or up-and-down motion for several minutes at each point, focusing on one at a time.
3. Repeat the massage treatment two or three times during the day.

Below is a list of pressure points, as well as a list of conditions each claims to treat.

 Forehead (‘third eye’)

Between your eyebrows and just above the bridge of your nose is a point sometimes referred to as the “third eye.” Acupressure at this point could promote sinus drainage and relieve tension in your cheeks, jaw, and forehead muscles. Use this pressure point to treat the following aches caused by infection or nasal congestion.

Temple

When you have a headache, rubbing your temples might seem like an automatic response. According to acupressure practices, massaging the pressure points on your temples can promote blood circulation and help with headache symptoms. Try this remedy if you have a migraine, light sensitivity, or a headache caused by fatigue.

Base of the skull (‘wind mansion’)

This popular massage point is anecdotally effective to increase circulation and improve relaxation. If you have a headache caused by stress or fatigue, this could help relieve your symptoms. This pressure point is sometimes called “wind mansion,” and can be found at the “hollow” or “dip” at the base of your skull.

Wind screen

This point can be found right behind your earlobe. Stimulating this point with acupressure massage may relieve ears that feel “stuffed,” as well as help to relieve tinnitus and migraine.

Ear-gate

This pressure point is located directly in front of where your earlobe begins. Acupressure on this point is used to relieve pressure that builds up around your jaw and in your ears. This could make it effective in treating tinnitus, ear infections, earache, tension headache, and migraine.

Daith

This point is located on the top part of the innermost cartilage of your outer ear. Some people find this particular pressure point to be so effective at treating migraine that they get a piercing at the daith to stimulate it. Stimulate this pressure point to relieve migraine headaches as well as tension and cluster headache.

Hairline curve

This point is located on the side of your head, about 2 inches above the top of your ear. A 2006 study suggested that stimulating this point was particularly effective for treating tinnitus.

Heaven’s pillar

These two pressure points are located on either side of your neck, about 2 inches below where your skull begins. You can stimulate these pressure points at the same time or choose to focus only on the side of your head where you are having pain. Stimulating heaven’s pillar points could relieve sinus pain, ease tension, and help with an earache or migraine.

Ear apex

The results of a 2011 study on acupuncture suggested that “auricular” pressure point stimulation was an effective migraine treatment. The ear apex, located on the cartilage at the place where your ear comes to its highest point, is an auricular pressure point popular in treatments for earache, migraine, and tension headache.

 Between thumb and forefinger on hand (‘union valley’)

This pressure point is located on the “webbing” between your thumb and forefinger. Though it may seem strange to treat a headache or earache using a pressure point on your hand, this holistic remedy is quite popular and well-known. People use acupressure on this point to treat different types of pain, including headaches, nausea, dizziness, and gastrointestinal issues.

Takeaway

There’s no evidence to suggest that trying these holistic remedies could be harmful, so it’s worth a try.

Speak to your doctor or to your local Natural Therapist if you can’t find relief from your headaches and earaches after several days. There are times when these symptoms can indicate a more serious health condition.

Global Charity Event and Guinness World Records attempt Balance

On September 29th 2018, the International Kinesiology College (IKC) is organizing a global event to raise awareness of some self-empowerment well-being techniques.
The IKC is a complementary therapy “college without walls”.

The event will be using techniques from Touch for Health Kinesiology, an energetic approach to health and well-being, which merges modern chiropractic and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Organized activities will support the heart meridian energy of all participants, during the time at which this energy channel is at itsmost receptive: 11am-1pm.

The world-wide heart energy balance is called the IKC Balancathon (www.ikcbalancathon.org)
and is a celebration of 30 years of international Touch for Health
Conferences. Beginning at 11am in Samoa, local centres offering heart-energy balances on a donation basis, will be streamed live on web-site, with additional photo/video contributions from all those participating in that time zone.
As the clock strikes 11 in the next time zone, New Zealand, heart energy balancing will begin there and so on around the globe for the 24-hour+ period.

The IKC event will create a “Mexican wave ” of heart-meridian balancing, involving a record number of countries being connected between 11am and 1pm local time. In addition, at each participating centre, members of the public will be offered the opportunity to have a “Touch for Health energy balance” and walk away with some self -help techniques to boost their own ” feel-good” factor.

Stand at a busy intersection and look at the people passing by. Are they walking upright and proud with a spring in their steps, alertness in their faces, and rhythm in their movements? Or are they plodding along with head bowed, shoulders rounded, and chest collapsed? I think you will find that most of these people seem like prisoners on the earth, overwhelmed by gravity, rather than buoyant creatures, full of the joy of existence.

When we see an animal that does not walk proud and act full of life, we immediately think that there is something wrong with it. Yet we don not feel any concern for the weary people we see around us.
We consider an unhealthy condition in animals we call normal in human beings. When someone if full of energy, we turn and stare if this were a rarity. This is the normal condition. This is how it could be.

It is actually not normal for us to walk slumped and joyless, it is not normal for us to get sick or die from chronic diseases but yet we think it is normal.

In Touch for Health/Kinesiology we work with your life’s energy. We work on the meridians which is like the highways in your body. The meridians function as a network, much like a highway system, that can be mapped out throughout the entire body. If there is an accident, roadblock, we clear it. The blockage in the meridian is often manifested in pain.

Kinesiology is a complimentary medicine. It doesn’t replace conventional medicines. Touch for Health is perhaps best used as a preventive tool. Practitioners can read subtle signals from the body indicating a trouble spot, long before some other physicians. Kinesiology does not attempt to replace conventional medicine’s ability to help a body in crisis. But it can prevent some crises from ever occurring.
In Kinesiology we do muscle testing which is the biofeedback from your system.

When we do a balance (session) we are “looking” at your posture, analysis of the face, skin features, and sometimes the tongue.
we us the Palpation and refers to analysis by feeling, particularly the wrist pulse, abdomen, and meridians points.
We ask questions about the person’s past health and habits.

Kinesiologists don’t diagnose any illnesses. You may like to see it as the practitioner is the facilitator of you, or the IT person of your computer, which is your biofeedback system.

If you suffer from pain, stress, anxiety, depression, feeling stuck and a feeling not being able to move forward, kinesiology might be just what you need.

Most asked question is how many times do you need to see a kinesiologist. Most clients have minimum 3 sessions to experience the ultimate benefits for a particular issue. Some clients chose to maintain their well being and visit the kinesiologist once a year, once a month, others once a week, It is really a personal choice, no one is the same, we all have an unique body, mind and soul.

Shop around and see with who you feel safe or connect with. Try different modalities, it is your body, your life, your choice to stay safe and healthy.
