There is a theory of traditional Chinese medicine that “kidney opens up in the ear””The heart is in the ear”. Therefore, if there is a problem with the functions of the heart and kidneys, they can be reflected in the ears.

● If the physiological functions of the heart and kidneys are normal, and the qi and blood are sufficient and unobstructed, the ear can function normally. The shape and size are generally 5 cm to 8 cm. The size of Chinese ears is generally about 6 cm, the width is half of the length, about 3 cm, and the ears are thick and moist in color.

● The large ear is a symbol of sufficient kidney essence and heart qi. The kidney is in charge of the growth, development and reproduction of the human body, and the heart is the “monarch” of the human body. “The official”, governs the functional activities of the internal organs, so the large ear is one of the symbols of longevity to a certain extent.
