Ear Seeds

Ear seeds are small acupressure devices placed on the outer ear to stimulate acupressure points, promoting various health benefits. They offer a gentle, noninvasive therapy rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

We apply ear seeds with expert precision to maximize their therapeutic effects. Whether you seek relaxation, pain relief, or a unique wellness experience, ear seeds may be what you’re looking for. This service is also perfect for small gatherings and special events like wellness retreats, bachelorette parties, and spa days. Contact us to explore the wide range of health activities and services we offer during a wellness event.

What Are Ear Seeds

Ear seeds are tiny, bead-like devices that are non-invasive and require no needles, making them a comfortable and accessible wellness option. Ear seeding is a form of alternative medicine called auriculotherapy or ear acupuncture

These seeds stimulate specific pressure points on your outer ear to support your body’s natural ability to heal. Based on TCM, these points are believed to correspond to different organs and systems in your body.

The ear serves as a microsystem of your body, containing reflex points linked to overall health. When pressed or massaged, the seeds stimulate these points, releasing endorphins and other beneficial chemicals that may help:

  • Enhance circulation and energy flow
  • Alleviate stress and anxiety
  • Manage pain and reduce inflammation
  • Support the body's natural healing process

TCM identifies over 200 ear acupoints. We use a selection of these acupoints, applying gentle pressure with our fingers and thumbs instead of needles. Ear seeds are placed on key pressure points and remain in place for 3–5 days before naturally falling off or being removed by the user.

We offer a variety of ear seeds to match your needs and preferences. Whether you’re looking for a natural, therapeutic option or a stylish accessory with wellness benefits, we have the perfect choice for you.

Benefits of Ear Seeds

Ear seeds provide a natural, non-invasive way to support overall health and well-being. 

Studies suggest ear seeds may help manage chronic lower back pain by stimulating key acupressure points. This stimulation can promote the release of endorphins, your body’s natural painkillers, and improve blood circulation, which may lead to reduced pain levels and increased mobility over time.

Another study indicated that combining ear seeds with acupuncture may be an effective approach to reducing insomnia symptoms. By targeting specific points on the ear, which are associated with relaxation and nervous system regulation, ear seeds may help calm the mind, reduce stress, and promote deeper, more restful sleep.

Ear seeds may help your body with issues such as:

  • Headaches and migraines 
  • Chronic pain conditions 
  • Menstrual cramps 
  • Stress, anxiety, and depression
  • Insomnia 
  • Digestive problems
  • Weight management
  • Blood circulation

What to Expect During an Ear Seeds Session

When you book an ear seeds session with our team, you’ll receive a personalized experience designed to support your well-being. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Personalized consultation: Your session begins with a brief yet insightful consultation, during which we discuss your wellness goals, health concerns, and specific areas of discomfort. This allows us to determine the best acupressure points to target for health benefits.
  • Precise application: Using our expertise in auriculotherapy, we carefully place ear seeds on the most effective acupressure points tailored to your needs. 
  • Expert guidance: To maximize the benefits of your ear seeds, we provide clear instructions on how to stimulate the seeds by gently pressing them throughout the day. 

Once applied, the ear seeds remain in place for 3–5 days, continuously stimulating acupressure points. You should stimulate these points by rubbing the seed per the recommended frequency for better results. You can continue your daily routine while enjoying the benefits. When it’s time, the seeds will naturally fall off or can be easily removed and replaced as needed.

Usage Precautions

Ear seeds are a safe, non-invasive therapy with a significantly low risk of infection or bleeding. However, there are a few precautions to keep in mind to ensure a comfortable and effective experience.

  • If you have sensitive skin or a latex allergy, some adhesives or metal seeds may cause mild irritation.
  • If you are prone to skin reactions from metal, opt for ceramic or Vaccaria seeds, which are gentler on the skin.
  • If you over-massage the area or do not allow the skin to rest between applications, you may develop small sores or redness around the ear seeds.
  • If you experience persistent itching, redness, or discomfort, discontinue use and consult a professional.

The effectiveness of ear seeds varies from person to person. We recommend you consult your healthcare provider before incorporating ear seeds into your wellness routine, especially if you have underlying health conditions or concerns.
