Lie down or sit in a comfortable position.
Step One: Press TW21, SI19, and GB2:

Using your middle fingertips, find the middle point, SI19, in the indentation that deepens when you open your mouth.  Then place your ring finger directly above on TW21 and your index finger directly on GB2.  Hold all three points together on both sides of your face for three minutes, with your mouth partially open and your eyes closed, while you concentrate on breathing deeply.  If one of these points feels particularly connected to your earache, hold it for up to 10 minutes or until the pain and pressure subside.

Step Two:  Lightly Press TW17:
Place your middle fingers in the hollows just behind the earlobes.  Often these points are tender.  Hold them lightly as you continue to breathe deeply for two minutes.

Step Three:  Return to TW21, SI19, and GB2:
Again press these points in front of your ear and hold for two minutes as you take long, deep breaths.
Step Four:  Press K3:
Finish the routine with a trigger point for relieving earaches.  K3 is located between the inside of your anklebone and the achilles tendon, toward the back of your ankle.  Use your thumb to press the point on your right ankle and your left hand on your left ankle.  Apply firm pressure for one minute on each side.

Repeat this routine three times daily.  See your doctor if your earache does not go away after a couple of days.
