We all feel aches and pains from time to time—maybe not so bad that we need to see a doctor, but I’m sure you’ll agree that even low level pain can be annoying.
What do you do when you feel sore or uncomfortable? Take a painkiller? I used to too, but lately, I’ve been trying to avoid pain medication if at all possible.
These days, I’m on the lookout for alternatives to pain medication, so when I heard about this trick, I decided to give it a try. It’s quick, easy, and you don’t need to buy anything to give it a try.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably already at least somewhat familiar with acupuncture. But have you heard about using your ears to relieve pain in your chest?
The idea is that each ear contains a complete map of the body, including pressure points and nerve endings that transmit signals to the central nervous system and the whole body.
Six specific points on each ear are said to be associated with pain and tenderness elsewhere in the body, and by applying pressure to these points, you can relieve pain in their corresponding areas and organs.
The top portion of the ear is connected to the back and shoulders. Place a clothespin here for about a minute and the stress in your shoulders should decrease.
Place the clothespin farther down your ear to connect to your internal organs. If you’re feeling intense pain in any of your organs, seek medical attention.
But for less acute pain or discomfort, try putting a clothespin (or pinching two fingers together) on this point. It will give you the inner relief you’re looking for.

Press this spot with a clothespin or your fingers to provide some much-needed moments of relief. If you have chronic pain, you should visit a doctor. But why not try this simple method first?
