According to the latest statistics, the average life expectancy of domestic women has reached 82.63 years old, while that of men is 75.96 years old, indicating that an aging society has arrived. In addition to a good quality of life, people should also pay attention to their health. While pursuing a longer life, modern people also want to maintain normal physical functions, and good hearing is especially important in old age, because elderly people who are hard of hearing usually have a reduced memory and thinking ability.
The “ear” is responsible for the body’s hearing, and is also an important balancing organ that senses gravity and external magnetic fields. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, director of Sheng-Pu Chinese Medicine Clinic, said that maintaining the health of the ears helps the body’s neurological development and balance of yin and yang. However, modern people often suffer from wind attacks due to inappropriate diet and improper living, resulting in various discomforts such as otalgia, dizziness, and ear stroke.
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee pointed out that the human body orifices have internal and external, normal skin surface can be isolated from the invasion of external cold, moisture, dryness, heat, in order to avoid improper interference with the internal tissues of the body by external qi, that is, the human body’s “small circumference” (internal nutrient chemistry) is strong enough to be able to respond to the external “large circumference” (earth weather) changes. However, in some people, the body’s ability to vaporize is insufficient and the mucous membrane ducts are poorly unblocked. When the temperature of the external environment drops suddenly, external evil invades and various health conditions arise.
For example, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee explained that “fluid in the inner ear” often leads to dizziness, vomiting, whistling in the ear, and the inability to open the eyes to see; “tinnitus” ( Brain tinnitus ) will not only make people dizzy and swollen, but also cause permanent hearing damage if long-term neglect is not treated in time; sudden deafness “ear stroke” is a wind invasion, and people with similar conditions are prone to brain stroke.
According to Chinese medicine theory, the ear is the orifice of the kidney in the head, and its shape can indicate whether the kidney qi is sufficient, whether the hearing is sensitive, and is also closely related to the strength and weakness of the essence stored in the kidney. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said, if you want to stop the ear from deteriorating, the way to deal with it is to strengthen the kidney function and boost the positive qi in the body to resist the invasion of external evil qi.
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee further explained that if people can still retain good hearing in old age, not only can they be sensitive to external messages and communicate clearly with others at all times, but also have better emotional stability, and the deterioration of intelligence and memory is naturally slower. Therefore, it is essential to take care of your kidneys and ears. The doctor reminds that people with insufficient yang qi (headache when it is cold) should keep their heads warm when it is cold and wear hats and ear muffs to protect their heads and ears from cold qi invasion; and they should take care of their bodies through Chinese medicine, food therapy, qigong and exercise.
