Ear Seeds Use and Benefits of Ear Acupressure
Auriculotherapy
Ear seeds are tiny acupressure devices that are placed in your ear. They are a type of auriculotherapy which is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that focuses on areas of the ear. While they may be small, they can help to relieve pain, anxiety, insomnia and more. They are a needle free version of acupuncture.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the ear is regarded as a microsystem: a miniature representation of the entire body. The ear resembles an upside-down baby, with the lobe representing the head, the interior ridge representing the spine, and the internal organs as well as the recessed areas. Pressure applied to various spots of the ear during the ear seeding process can stimulate that point of the body. And when it does, it can assist you in a variety of ways.
How Ear Seeds Work
The seeds are applied to specific points on the outer ear and use an adhesive to keep them in place. The points are then massaged a few times. There are specific points on the ear that align with acu-points where the blood, nerve, lymph and connective tissue meet. After they have been applied, you apply slight pressure and massage the seeds in a circular motion for up to 3 minutes.
Types of Ear Seeds
The seeds are mostly made of steel, silver, gold, ceramic, or crystal. Some ear seeds can even be a hand embellished design that look more like jewelry than an acupressure tool.
