Feeling stressed? You may want to skip the full body massage and opt for ear reflexology instead. Richard Randig, a board certified relexologist focuses on different pressure points within the ear to relieve stress and ease symptoms in other areas of the body.
Are you wondering how? Here’s the answer – by placing it on your ear. Our ears contain several nerve endings and each ear contains a reflex map of the body, rich with nerve endings and multiple connectors to the central nervous system.
There are six pressure points on your ears, each connected to a certain part of your body. Applying pressure, with a clothespin or even your fingers, can help relieve aches and pains in those areas.
1 The Upper Part of the Ear
The uppermost part of your ear has direct effects on your back and shoulders. Applying pressure to this spot for a minute each day will help reduce built-up tension in those areas.

#2 The Top of Your Ear’s Curve
This spot on your ear is connected to your organs. If you’re feeling internal tenderness or discomfort, place a clothespin on this spot for relief. (Make sure you see a doctor to figure out what the root cause of the discomfort is.)
