Can Ear and Foot Massage Work For You? You
may be surprised to know the extent the massage
of the ear can bring in healing of the entire
body.
It releases and triggers healing mechanisms
that flow through the body using
neurotransmitters.
If someone else massages your ear, you may
notice a feeling of sensual excitement. That is
because there are many nerves in the ear and
when circulation is increased it can influence
the way the whole body feels.
The Chinese method of acupuncture has been
proven effective in treating alcohol and drug
addictions. Its ironic the most effective
method so far of treating drug addiction is to
use more drugs.
Drug rehabilitation happens in expensive
clinics but acupuncture and ear massage can be
done on an outpatient basis. This can
revolutionize the treatment of drug addictions.
All acupuncture points for this
procedure are in the ears.
This shows how important the ears can be in
triggering healing throughout the body. There
have been other cases where the use of ear
massage has relieved pain. A patient who did
not want to use drugs for severe pain in his
prostate area had tried yoga, relaxation, and
hot drinks.
None seemed to work for relief of pain. The
only action that gave him relief from the pain
was to massage his whole ear. After five
minutes of brisk massage and two minutes of
massage to his prostate area the pain would
completely disappear.
Massaging the ear is close to the same
reaction you receive when you massage the feet
and hands. To begin massaging your ear, gently
use moderate pressure over the entire ear on
both sides. If there are any areas where you
notice some discomfort, go back to that area
briskly.
You may not experience the immediate relief
from pain as the man with the prostate pain,
but you will notice a change if you regularly
massage the ear.
Many people have reported overcoming serious
health problems with using self-applied ear
massage. It is not important that you know what
areas of the feet will help which portion of
the body.
You simply need to find the sore spots and
work on those areas. If you focus on massaging
the toes and ball of the feet they work with
the upper body.
The central area applies to the middle
body, and the balance of the foot reflexes
to the lower portion of your body. To find
out what areas need help, give your foot an
overall foot massage.
Note any areas that are especially tender
and come back to those areas when you are
finished with the foot. Go back and work on
any areas of the foot that seemed to be
especially tender because that is the area
that needs the work.
Theraputic Massage Terms and
Facts.
Giving someone
a hand massage is a very simple
way to help improve calm
thinking and fosters peace of
mind.
You can do this
easily by massaging "up and
out" which means you start with
the knuckels and move up
towards the wrist, and circle
"out" and down to the pinky on
the way back to the knuckle
again, remembering to release
as you move "out".
Don't massage
sideways, just "up and
out".
Start with the
middle knuckel by the way.

Use your thumbs, but if it begins to hurt,
ease up and use bunched fingers, knuckles
or the heel of your hand. It may take a
little time to get your thumbs used to
working so hard.
Use substantial pressure, if it hurts, back
off. Gradually increase the pressure as you
become used to the massage.
