The fact that before you a person of the greatest importance, in ancient Egypt, said earrings in his ears. It was jewelry that served as a peculiar determinant of a person’s status and thus distinguished him from all the others.
They say that fashion to pierce girls’s ears is an echo of those times, writes Clever. One way or another, and at a certain age, many mothers as a rule necessarily pierce their daughters ears. Some do this when the child is not even one year old, others wait up to three years, others believe that it is possible to pierce the child’s ears only with his consent, when he consciously takes this step. The well-known doctor and TV presenter Dr. Komarovsky calls ear piercing babies “real extremism”.
However, among physicians there is another opinion: to do this procedure better when the child is small, and memories of pain will quickly be erased from memory. The main thing, doctors say, is not when to pierce the ears, but where. Today, reflex therapists have compiled a whole map of the active points of the ear associated with a particular human organ.
The official representative of the Beijing Acupuncture and Moxotherapy Center in Russia, the head physician of the Tao Clinic clinic Igor Roganin explains that it is the task of the specialist piercing the ear to find a zone free of biologically active points for puncture. Otherwise, you can indirectly affect the work of an organ from a negative side.
According to Igor Roganin, it is quite possible to determine the presence of certain diseases in the human body by the auricle, since the ear, according to the doctor, is an information-diagnostic screen.
For example, in the very center of the lobe is a point associated with the eyes. If, during the piercing, it is to fall into it, an instantaneous spasm will occur, and the vision will begin to inexorably deteriorate.
This is also confirmed by the reflexologist at the Multiresonance Medical Center Larisa Verkovskaya. Vision, of course, will not fall, the doctor believes, but, constantly irritated, this point will contribute to the gradual weakening of the optic nerve.
An otolaryngologist at the Oxford Medical Clinic, Edward Stoyanov, considers impermissible ear piercing to children up to 15 years old. He bases his position on the fact that during the formation of the body of a small child is very vulnerable. And since in the area of the ear lobe there are points associated with nerves responsible for hearing, vision, smell, taste, and even brain function, then by accidentally hitting one of these points, you can cause irreparable harm to the function of an organ.

Eduard Stoyanov warns lovers of earrings from another mistake. This is due to the tunnels in the ears (piercing the hole, followed by stretching to the selected diameter of the jewelry) and massive earrings. The latter strongly delay the earlobe and, says the doctor, cause tension of the temporal lobe. The girl begins to suffer from headaches, which pass only after removing the earrings from the earlobe. As for the tunnels, the otolaryngologist draws attention to the huge traces that this procedure leaves. Firstly, the ear can be very deformed, and secondly, when the fashion for the appropriate jewelry passes, you can get rid of the traces of the tunnel only with the help of plastic surgery.
Where and how to pierce? Only in specialized salons with a specialist with a medical education. According to doctors, this is overwhelmingly a guarantee that the procedure will be carried out in sterile conditions and with appropriate equipment. More often it is a pneumatic gun with studs made of medical metals, which have a sharp base. They are simultaneously inserted into the ear and snap into place. The doctor will immediately do the treatment with three percent hydrogen peroxide and give recommendations on how to care for the puncture sites so that the ears heal as quickly as possible.
Doctors do not recommend changing medical earrings for jewelry made from other metals. First, pull out the stud, which pierced the ear, in any case can not. Insert the earring into a practically open wound will be impossible. After that, the ears will grow, and only then will it be possible to make a new puncture.
Secondly, even after healing, you need to take a good look at how the ear reacts to various metals. As a rule, there is no reaction to gold. Especially 999,9 samples. If the ear has already healed and you can carefully insert other earrings, then for the first time you need to stop at the gold of high samples. Piercing salon specialist Olga Khoroshevskikh says that there have been many cases when clients with swollen earlobes came to her because of a reaction even to gold, but 585 samples. The impurities that are in this metal can give a reaction by interacting with incompletely overgrown tissues inside the lobe. As for silver, and especially jewelry, then they should not be discussed at all, at least in the first year after the puncture.
