The earlobe seems to be a completely useless appendage to the auricle. And she is also a favorite piercing place for women and not only. But the human body is a very perfect system. And each of its elements has its own clearly defined functions. They also have an ordinary earlobe.
Lobe structure
So what is an earlobe anatomically? This is a small skin formation that is located in the lower part of the auricle. It is devoid of bones and cartilage, and is filled with fat cells. Nutrition is provided by a network of small capillaries that literally permeate it. This is what gives the lobe a pleasant pinkish tint. Sensitivity is provided by the branches of the nerves that are located near the ear.
And if the location of the earlobe in all people is the same - between the interguscular notch and the tail of the curl, then its size and thickness can differ significantly. Moreover, the shape of the lobe does not depend on age, gender, or the height of a person.
Small people may have large ears with fleshy lobes and vice versa. Often the shape of the ears is inherited genetically, but the structure of the ears of each person is unique.
Interestingly, one of the most sensitive places in the human body is the earlobe, where a huge number of nerve endings are located. Even just by acting on it with your fingertips, you can:
relieve or significantly reduce stress;- regulate blood pressure;
- activate blood circulation in the head;
- improve visual acuity;
- increase the overall tone of the body.

Functions of the lobe
The shape and size of the lobe does not in any way affect a person's ability to pick up and interpret sounds. But this is not only a decorative element that complements the auricle. An earlobe is a very delicate formation that perfectly performs a signaling function and, simply by changing its color, can tell a lot about the state of the body.
So, in a healthy person, it is smooth, even, has a pleasant pinkish color. It is worth worrying if such changes are noticeable:
severe redness is a signal that blood circulation has increased (the cause may be a sharp increase in blood pressure caused by stress or other reasons);- pale or yellowish color - warns that not enough blood is being supplied: it is possible that the blood pressure has dropped;
- cyanosis is the first sign of hypothermia, and not only of the ear, but of the whole body;
- acne and blackheads often appear on the earlobe - this means that the large intestine is not coping with its functions;
- a wrinkled lobe in children or young people indicates that there is a malfunction in the cardiovascular system;
- a deep fold has formed - beware of the development of a heart attack or stroke;
- too voluminous - screams about the growth of adipose tissue, ahead of the threat of obesity.

It turns out that by it you can determine the character, life potential and even sexual capabilities. This fact has not been scientifically proven, but ancient physicians used this knowledge as part of the general diagnosis of patients.
Here's what they say about the characters of people with different earlobe shapes:
- The inner tip of the lobe does not hang down, but "adheres" to the scalp. You will not get bored with such people - they are emotional, impulsive, capable of spontaneous actions. Usually they are distinguished by excellent health and have a lot of vitality, therefore they are quite capable of feats and stand out very much from the environment. With the right application of strength, they achieve a lot in life. But it is difficult for those close to them - outbursts of temperament often offend those who are nearby.

It is almost impossible to resist him.- A large and fleshy lobe is an obvious sign of wisdom. Such people do not make rash decisions. And all their actions have a logical explanation. Although they are benevolent and sociable, they choose friends carefully and they can remain faithful to them all their lives. The same can be said about the choice of business partners and even a soul mate.
