What are Acupuncture Ear Seeds?

Acupuncture Ear seeds are having a moment! They are cute, tiny, and noninvasive. Although, it’s a hot trend right now. Acupuncture ear seeds are steeped in history.

Acupuncture ear seeds us a form of auriculotherapy. Acupuncture ear seeds, also known as auricular seeds or ear seeds, are tiny seeds or beads that are placed on specific points of the outer ear. This practice stems from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which believes that the ear is a microsystem that reflects the entire body. Each point on the ear corresponds to a specific organ or area of the body.

The seeds are typically placed on the ear with adhesive tape and left in place for 3-5 days to stimulate the corresponding points. This stimulation helps balance the flow of energy, or qi, throughout the body, promoting overall health and well-being. Ear seeds are often used as a non-invasive and convenient alternative to acupuncture needles for treating a variety of conditions, including pain, stress, insomnia, and addiction.

Think Acupuncture/Acupressure to go! Acupuncture Ear seeds are often used after an Acupuncture session to continue to stimulate points for chronic conditions.
