What are EarSeeds?
The basicsThe ear is a microsystem of the entire body.
Ear Seeds are a non-invasive, safe and effective tool used to stimulate nerve endings / pressure points in this microsystem.
Ear Seeds consist of tiny seeds, beads or pellets that stick to the surface of your ear with tape.
Once you know where they go, simply peel, place, and press.
Peel the seed from the strip, place it on an appropriate point, then press to secure. The constant pressure an ear seed exerts is amplified by gently pressing it down for a few seconds, multiple times per day.
The stimulation of these points is called
Auriculotherapy
It’s about proper placement.
Ear Seeds work by providing continuous acupressure to specific ear points and can be worn for 2-5 days at a time.
Proper placement is the #1 key to effective ear seeding.
All our EarSeeds Condition charts and kits are designed to teach you specific points traditionally associated with common conditions. They are created by licensed acupuncturist and Auriculotherapy expert and teacher, Elie Goldschmidt, L.Ac.. Additionally, some of the charts are created in partnership with acupuncture specialists in their respective fields.
For more customized care, we suggest a visit with an
EarSeeds Certified Practitioner.
