TCM self-diagnose: ears look like to a long life?

Many people can look at the Palm, the Palm can tell from a person's physical condition, but compared to the hand, the person's face more biological characteristics, to help us understand the health condition of the body, such as the length of ear.

In a research project, researchers have 50 cases of census 80 years old, found their ears has two features.

The first feature is the auricle.

Most people's ears, eyebrows above should ping, the following should be flat nasal Foundation.

The length of the auricle, the scientific method of calculation should be from had sharp ears to the earlobe. General adult ear average length is 5 ~ 8 cm. But surveyed in this 50 long-lived, from highest to lowest Chondrodermatitis earlobe, the length is greater than the auricle and the longer the life of the cm, the longer the ears, two of the centenarians of the auricle length respectively 8.4 cm and 8.5 cm.

The second feature is the earlobe.

Earlobe from ear to ear with minimum screen.

General adult earlobe with a length of 1 — 2.5 cm, but the longevity of the elderly earlobe length at least 1.8 cm above and thick soft mast. In the survey of 50 long-lived, earlobe length 1.8 — 2.5 cm 8 people, 2.6-3 cm 39, 3.1 — 3.2 cm 3, is 90 years old.

The numbers tell us that the auricle lobule is long, long-life characteristics.

We own you can go back and look at those long, will find their ear does have these two characteristics. We put the auricle lobule big long, is called the "long ears syndrome". However, it must be noted that the auricle, the earlobe large is just one of the long-lived characteristic, longevity, ears are long, but the ears are long people don't necessarily have a long life, the human ear, short is not always short-lived. Because longevity or not, must also be combined with ears look form and other parts of the variety of life signs to comprehensive analysis.

The length of the ear is one useful clues.

TCM is fastidious "arbitrary" or not, apart from the length of the ear itself, there are also other characteristics, such as thick and thin, thick than thin; soft and hard, soft, good than hard; there are stickers and cards, stickers than good; look, ears look bright ritzy, better than the gloomy drying. To the ear itself combines various forms look to make accurate judgments. Also, everyone has features until, in the face not only live long ears, there are other features of life over 20 items, we also feature the ears and other official opening of the contrast between the pale appearance, the conclusion is more reliable.

"Ear fold heart syndrome" is an important sign of coronary heart disease

Normal ear lobes are generally smooth and flat Kit.

If we look at some of the earlobe in patients with coronary heart disease, often you can find a slash or crease marks. It is from the tragus, i.e. between notch and the tragus tragus between depression, to unfold the earlobe edge a slash or crease marks, deep and long, shallow and short, I put this crease marks named "ear fold heart syndrome".

Ear fold heart syndrome appear to prompt coronary heart disease, have a certain value, so it is also called "coronary Groove" and "cerebral arteriosclerosis ear fold syndrome", etc.

An ear fold heart syndrome may have coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, high blood fat disease and other diseases. Domestic and international survey data tell us that occurs in patients with coronary artery disease, heart ear fold with the possibility of very high, and normal people in 24%. It appears that the ear with a pleated heart accurately prompts diseases such as coronary heart disease. If we have this feature, you can proactively identify diseases, go to the regular check in time, increased the rehabilitation hospital.
