Traditional Chinese medicine teaches you how to find out common diseases here!

The ear is one of the most familiar human organs. Both humans and animals have ears. In addition to being organs of hearing and balance, in the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, the ear can also be used to diagnose diseases. By looking at the shape and color of the ear, common diseases in the human body can be known.

1. A normal and healthy ear should have hard ear bones, a smooth and flat helix, thick and moist auricle, and no bulges.

2. If the ear flesh is light red, it is usually due to spleen and kidney deficiency. If it is dark red, it may be due to external invasion of evil toxins or stagnation of qi and blood deficiency.

3. The inner side of the earlobe is brown, which is a sign of kidney disease or diabetes.

4. If an elderly person has a very obvious wrinkled diagonal line running from the upper front to the lower back on his earlobe, be careful of coronary heart disease.

5. The outer ear helix has rough and uneven spinous processes, so be careful to prevent bone hyperplasia in the cervical and lumbar vertebrae.

6. The ears are blue and mostly painful.

7. The atrophy of the earlobe indicates that the kidney qi is very insufficient.

8. Blue earlobes are usually caused by frequent sexual intercourse.

9. If there are blister-like papules on the ears with red and white dots, be careful of acute bronchitis, enteritis, nephritis, or cystitis.

10. If your ears grow low or hang sideways, be careful of sciatica.

11. A burnt earlobe is a sign of severe kidney deficiency and extreme dryness; a pale ear is mostly due to external wind-cold or severe anemia.

12. The ear skin shows congested blood vessels and there is a problem with the blood circulation system, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, bronchiectasis and other diseases.

13. Redness and swelling of the auricle is caused by wind-heat in the upper part of the body or excessive liver fire. If there is hyperplasia of two or more ear cartilages, you must prevent serious diseases and have a thorough physical examination as soon as possible.
