Ear seeds are small 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.

Ear seeds are an ancient tool that can support a variety of health conditions by promoting good sleep, contributing to emotional well-being, helping you relax, and supporting your immune system, focus, energy levels, and digestion.

Please note that ear seeds are not intended for medical treatment or diagnosis.

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.
