I live in Stockholm with my husband, our daughter and our dog. Everyday life looks like that of many others – work, family and all the thousand things that need to be done. And the stress and anxiety? They have been my constant companions. I have tried everything: yoga, breathing exercises, meditation – but it has been difficult to fit into an already busy everyday life. It may sound stupid, but I somehow forget to breathe?

One evening, while scrolling through my phone (yes, exactly what you shouldn't do when you're trying to unwind), I stumbled upon something I'd never heard of—ear seeds, a part of traditional Chinese medicine. It sounded so simple, and there were no side effects, so I thought, "Why not?" After I tried them, it was as if someone suddenly pushed a button, and that constant stress I was carrying just... disappeared. I found myself in situations that used to make me anxious, but now I just felt calm.

It has become hugely popular in the UK, US and Australia, but here in Sweden it is still relatively unknown. Now I want to spread this further, because if something so simple can create so much peace and balance, then it is really worth sharing.

And that's how my journey with ear seeds began. Thank you for being here – I look forward to telling you more and hope you too find your inner peace with Acuears!
