Helen Chin Lui who is a certified reflexology’s explains that, “Each ear contains a complete reflex map of the body, rich with nerve endings and multiple connectors to the central nervous system.”
I can’t always do stretches in my office and I know for a fact that doctors can’t help with minor soreness, but trying something as simple as placing a clothespin on my ear might sound ridiculous but why not try it if it works. While doctor would never advise you to do this because their just losing money from not prescribing medications, I will try this ear method if it’s just with my fingers or by putting this funny clothespins on my ear.
Each of these 6 different points on the ear is connected to pain and soreness in a specific part of the body. By applying pressure to each spot, you can relieve those aches.

Number 1 — the upper-most portion of the ear is directly connected to your back and shoulders. Applying a clothespin for about a minute should go a long way to reduce built-up tension. Try this several times a day to lessen that back and shoulder pain.
Number 2 — The next spot down on the ear is the one that is connected to the body’s organs. Obviously, if you have severe internal pain, you should be seeing a doctor. But for minor internal tenderness or discomfort, use a clothespin or your fingers on this spot. It may just give you the internal relief you are looking for.

Applying pressure with a clothespin or your fingers can offer some much needed relief. Chronic problems should necessitate a trip to the doctor, but why not try this simple method first?
Number 4 — The lower middle of the ear is linked to your sinuses and also your throat. When you’re looking for something to help with colds or sinus infections, place pressure on this spot to remove tension. This pressure point can also help with sore throats.

Applying pressure to the ear lobe can work to promote heart health and to relieve unwanted pressure in the head. This method can be quite effective in eliminating pressure headaches.
