Why Do Indians pierce ears of a baby ?

After a baby is born, it is a general practice by the Ancient Indians to pierce the baby’s ears ( for both boys & girls). Technically speaking, It is a part of acupuncture treatment.

Acupuncture and Acupressure are not new to Indians.  It is being said that these techniques originally originated in India and later they were conserved and modified by Chinese. Outer part of ears carry a lot of important acupuncture and acupressure points. The point where the ears of a baby are pierced is known for curing asthma. That is why even Ancient Indians both men and women used to wear ear-rings, but now a days most Indians especially Hindus are also not wearing ear-rings. They do not even pierce the ears after first piercing.

The holes in their ears become invisible after as they grow up. Only Indian females wear ear-rings as a tradition.But there are men in some parts of India who still wear ear rings as a tradition even now.

Almost Everything in the Indian culture and traditions are purely based on science. If we observe all our traditions and customs lead us to giving or ensuring us two things. Healthiness both physically and mentally. If you have those two, then you can earn anything else you want. They are the most basic things a human being should have.

Unfortunately , In our Indian customs and traditions that we follow, For some things we know the reasons, For some we don’t know ! Some People Say That these traditions are ‘Stupid beliefs’ and “blind superstitions”, But the fact is that many of us don’t know the real reason and real scientific reasons behind these traditions.
