Do you feel a little tired?
If the answer is yes, we believe that coffee or an energy drink will best help you overcome it.
But what if we told you that there is a much healthier way to overcome afternoon fatigue at work, to which no one is immune?
It's about ear massage, which may sound strange at first, but it's a centuries-old practice in traditional Chinese medicine. All you have to do is sit back in a chair and gently massage the tips of the ears with your thumb and forefinger.
Why does this trick work? Eastern medicine says the following: this is how you encourage energy to flow through your meridians, that is, your body, with the help of energy channels, which you thus stimulate.
Western medicine says this: this is how you stimulate the reflex centers in the brain, because the ears are full of nerve endings, reports Index.
