The Benefits of Ear Seeding

Ear seeding, also known as auriculotherapy, is a form of acupressure. The external ear is represented by nerve endings that can be stimulated to influence the central nervous system, and organs in the body. The seeds themselves are vaccaria seeds. For a more modern twist, 24K gold, Swarovski crystals, or small steel balls can be placed. 

Pressure at specific points stimulates the vagus nerve which sends a message to your brain that alters biochemical responses, helping to achieve your desired result

Ear seeding will de-stress, balance, energize, boost immunity, improve sleep and more. These benefits include all types of pain management such as headache, PMS symptoms, tension, and neck and shoulder pressure. Ear seeding can help to relieve stress and anxiety, and can improve focus, memory, and digestion. Ear seeding helps to promote relaxation and restore balance. Once the seeds are applied, the seeds act as a support system that runs in the background as you go about your day.
