Folklore says the right ear is burning.

People say that the right ear is burning, because someone is talking about himself behind his back.

The saying that the right ear is hot stems from ancient superstition that the right ear represents yang and the left ear represents yin. Therefore, the burning of the right ear is considered to be that someone speaks well or praises himself behind his back, or someone reads his name. In some places, people even infer the true intention and the quality of the speech according to the burning degree of the speaker's right ear.

In addition, there are some other interpretations. Some people think that the burning right ear may be because some people miss themselves far away, or some people secretly love themselves. In addition, some people think that burning the right ear means that they are about to receive good news or good luck. This explanation and statement varies from region to region and personal beliefs.

Generally speaking, although the folk saying of burning the right ear still exists in some places and attracts people's attention, there is no scientific basis to support its authenticity. We should treat these phenomena with a scientific and rational attitude, don't believe in superstition too much, but interpret the natural reaction of the body with a reasonable way of thinking.

Causes of burning in the right ear

Ear is the sensory organ of human body, and its temperature change may be caused by many factors, including environmental temperature, blood circulation, nerve stimulation and so on. Scientifically speaking, burning ears may be due to changes in blood circulation. When you feel your ears are hot, it may be because the blood flows to your ears faster, which makes your ears feel warm.

Another possible reason is nerve stimulation. There are many nerve endings in the ear. When these nerves are stimulated, they will send signals to the brain, which will produce thermal sensation. This stimulus may come from muscle movements around the ear, touch or external stimuli, such as wind, light or sound.

In addition to physiological reasons, psychological factors may also play a role in the change of ear sensation. Our mood and psychological state will affect our perception of physical feelings. For example, when we feel nervous, excited or anxious, our blood circulation and nervous system may change, which may cause our ears to feel hot.
