In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the ear is considered a microcosm of the human body, where each part corresponds to specific internal organs and bodily functions. Regular ear massage can help regulate internal organs and promote the smooth flow of vital energy, or “qi,” throughout the body.

In an episode of “Health 1+1,” Hung-Chien Wu, director of the E Sheng Chinese Medicine Clinic in Taiwan, shared the proper technique for ear massage. He suggested that practicing it for just three to five minutes a day can help support internal balance and overall well-being.
