Earrings/Ear Piercings/Studs/Expander Rings, etc

By Archived User | Updated: Dec 31, 2021 | Published: Dec 31, 2021

Hi all,

What can anyone tell me about the effects (either + or -) on general overall body health, as it relates to multiple ear piercings? Some people stick with a single discrete stud through their earlobe, but we also see those who have multiple rings along the helix, multiple studs and even giant expander rings through the earlobes...

If needles can create some type of physical efffec, wouldn't piercings do the same thing?

Are the meridians permanently damaged?

What about if wildly distorted as in the case of the earlobe stretching rings?

Thanks in advance -

Peter
