Ear seeds or Acu Seeds are a natural, needle free and non invasive form of acupressure. When placed on active acupoints on the ears, innervating cranial nerves are stimulated, including the vagus nerve, which promotes deep relaxation and supports stress, anxiety and sleep (biomedical view.) Qi, (life force) is harmonised and balanced along 12 meridian pathways connected directly and indirectly to the ear (Oriental/TCM view.)
Ear seeds are worn for 3-4 days and then replaced for hygiene and safety reasons. Vaccaria plant seeds mildly stimulate auricular acupoints. Magnetic pellets may also be worn for sustained activation of acupoints and support your wellness goals over time, Ear seeding or auricular acupressure has some high quality evidence to support weight reduction, pain, migraine, ADHD symptoms, anxiety and insomnia.
All ear seed or acu seed options come on a clear plaster and blend with skin colour except traditional Vaccaria seeds, which are a pink or tan coloured plaster. Be aware of metal and plaster allergies.

Dr Li Chun Huang says 'It is as if the ear can speak for and express itself.' Dr Muriel Agnes says the ear is a 'window to the brain', one that leaves us 'diagnostic signals.' (Dr Terry Oleson.)
I say the ears don't lie when indicating our health status. If we learn their secret language to decode their messages, they reveal our autobiographical life story in the form of an imprinted inverted foetus hologram that lights up our medical file past, present and future. This is a process I call 'Ear Talk.'
Like reading a computer screen, the auricle shows manifestations and anomalies that are evidence based (Romoli) to be markers of brain and body health. They therefore inform our health and treatment.
Learn how to become 'Attuned to Ear Talk' and the art and science of visual inspection of the ears. Use my easy to follow framework to understand seven skin alterations of the auricle and their meaning for health, integrating Eastern and Western research.
Training is available as a self paced Google Classroom course or live one day workshop with me.
