3. Ear Massage: ear There are many meridian points, often massage the inner ear, then you can promote blood circulation and help the ear care. As his hands were on the roots of the ears, thumb and middle finger placed in front of the ear and behind the ear to separate, and then start from the earlobe, first rubbed his earlobe, then sandwiching the ear push up a certain intensity, and close to the ear, until the sharp-eared , so repeated several times.

4.
