Why does my ear hurt and itch?

If there is pain and itching inside the ear, it is probably because of getting angry. Nowadays, people are prone to getting angry easily. You can use diet therapy to reduce the fire. Eat bitter vegetables, rest more, drink plenty of water, and you can also perform acupoint massage. The most important thing is to maintain a calm mind.

1. Sleep quality

Sleep is like shutting down your computer and taking a rest. Poor sleep will cause overuse of the body and make you prone to "getting angry". Reversing day and night is a big taboo. Many people who work night shifts have the problem of being irritable. For people who engage in brain-intensive work, blood circulation will be concentrated in the head, leading to fatigue but unstable sleep. At this time, foot bath can be used to reduce the irritability and help people sleep well.

2. Bitter vegetables

What are the vegetables that can reduce heat? Eat more bitter vegetables. The best bitter food is bitter melon. No matter whether it is served cold, stir-fried or made into soup, as long as the bitter melon is cooked and retains its "green color", it can achieve the purpose of "removing heat". Other bitter foods also have good "removing heat" effects, such as almonds, bitter herbs, kuding tea, celery, etc.

3. Food supplements

There are some foods that are very good for summer, such as ginseng, lotus seeds, white fungus and so on. Ginseng is usually soaked in water and drunk, which can replenish qi and reduce internal heat without causing internal heat. Lotus seeds boiled into soup can warm the lungs and replenish qi. Tremella is a good food for nourishing yin and replenishing deficiency. It can also improve dry mouth and reduce internal heat. Therefore, we need to strengthen our awareness of using food to reduce internal heat. People who are prone to fatigue and those who have a lot of labor should pay more attention to eating and make use of dietary supplements.

4. Drink plenty of water

Drink plenty of water, especially boiled water. Because drinking more water can eliminate toxins from the body and help reduce internal heat. However, the water temperature should not be too high, as it may easily damage the oral mucosa and esophagus.

5. Increase heat dissipation from the human body surface

Sweating is the best way to dissipate heat. Going outdoors for exercise regularly and sweating more can increase the discharge of waste products from the body and increase metabolism. Don't sit for long periods of time. Gua Sha can also promote blood circulation and improve irritability.

6. Acupoint massage

On the palm of your hand, between the 4th and 5th metacarpal bones, at the tip of your little finger when you make a fist. The function is to disperse heart fire. The name of this acupoint means that the qi and blood of the heart meridian gather here, and it is very effective in relieving heat from the heart meridian. Massaging this point for 3-5 minutes every day can help to clear the mind and relieve worries. It is also effective for symptoms such as hot hands and feet, inexplicable fear, anxiety, anger, and red eyes.

7. Keep a peaceful mind

Modern medicine believes that when people are depressed, the body's immunity decreases, making them susceptible to illness; while rage and depression can make people uneasy, causing abnormal adrenaline secretion and damaging the liver, thereby inducing liver disease or aggravating existing liver disease, or even rapidly deteriorating. Therefore, if you want to keep your liver healthy, you need to remind yourself to stay optimistic and cheerful at all times.
