What is the science behind ear seeds?

The ear functions as a microsystem where points correspond to different organs. Ear seeds stimulate these points, similar to reflexology, and activate nerve signals that the brain interprets as a need for support, which releases natural "feel good" hormones. Studies show that ear seeds can help with stress, sleep problems, pain, and digestion.

Frequently asked questions

What are ear seeds?

Ear seeds are small metallic seeds used in auriculotherapy, a form of acupressure applied to the ear. They are intended to stimulate specific points on the ear to promote well-being.

How do ear seeds work?

Ear seeds are a form of auriculotherapy, which involves stimulating specific points on the ear to support physical and emotional health. They are a form of acupressure that has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years. TCM teaches that the ear is a microsystem of the entire body, with certain points on the ear corresponding to different organs or parts of the body. Energy pathways (or 'qi' or life energy) pass through the ear, and ear seeds stimulate specific points that send a flow of energy to the related organ or area that needs attention. Think of it as reflexology, but for the ears instead of the feet.

Ear seeds create continuous, gentle pressure on nerve impulses in the ear that send signals to the brain that certain organs or systems need support. The brain then sends signals and chemicals to the nervous system that help you relax, heal or focus, as well as releasing endorphins into the bloodstream, which naturally support tension and discomfort.
