Introduction
The correct method of ear massage includes applying lubricating oil, massaging the auricle, massaging the earlobe, acupoint stimulation on the ear, and warm compresses. It is usually performed in a relaxed state for 5–10 minutes per session, which can help relieve fatigue, promote blood circulation, and improve sleep quality. If ear massage is needed, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and perform the procedure under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.

Generally, the correct method of ear massage includes applying lubricating oil, massaging the auricle, massaging the earlobe, stimulating ear acupoints, and applying warm compresses. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Wash your hands with warm water before massaging, then evenly apply an appropriate amount of lubricating oil to both the inner and outer surfaces of the auricle.

2. Use your index finger and thumb to grasp the lower part of the auricle, and gradually press and knead the surrounding tissues from top to bottom in a tapping motion.

3. Gently pinch the earlobe and rub it back and forth using the thumb and index finger.

4. Use the tip of your index finger to press and massage the Ermen (TE23), Tinggong (SI19), and Tinghui (GB2) acupoints located in front of the ear screen.
