Auriculotherapy
A pain free, alternative therapy for physical and mental wellness using adhesive ear seeds.
You can take control of your own health and wellbeing through realising the benefits of needle-free auricular (ear) acupressure.
I’m a Certified Ear Seed Practitioner and also use them myself. I trained with Acu Seeds, the UK’s leading online ear seeds store as seen on Dragon’s Den.(Recently rebranded as ‘East Healing’.)
What are ear seeds and how do they work?
Ear seeds are a needle-free form or auriculotherapy which means ‘of the ear’. They are made up of tiny metal beads, coated in 24k gold or silver plated and they are held in place by a medical grade, clear adhesive sticker.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, points on the ear correspond to different body parts or organs. Using the ancient tool of ear seeds, now designed for our modern world, they may offer support to a broad spectrum of health issues such as aiding a restful sleep, helping you to relax and supporting your focus, energy levels, immunity and digestion to name a few.
Ear seeds simulate points on the ear applying gentle continual pressure on to nerve endings which send messages to the brain that certain areas or organs need support.
The brain triggers this support by releasing endorphins into the bloodstream, relaxing the nervous system and naturally soothing pain and discomfort.
A combination of these points may assist with a variety of different health concerns such as:
Anxiety
Stress
Headaches
Insomnia
Fatigue
Focus
Memory
Digestion/Weight Loss
Tinnitus
Vertigo
Libido
Low Mood
Chronic Pain
Immunity
Fertility
Inflammation
Post Partum Healing/Depression
Menopause
Menstrual Issues
Addiction Smoking/Drinking/Drug

We are all different.
Historically, and in studies, with proper placement, ears seeds have been shown to work immediately for certain conditions and can take longer with multiple sessions, for others.
Ear seeding is a holistic treatment that can support healing but, it is important to understand that they are not a magic or medical cure.
