What are Ear Seeds?

Ear seeds are a gentle, needle-free way of working with specific points on the ear. In auricular therapy, the ear is viewed as a micro-map of the body, with different points associated with different areas and systems.

I select points according to your individual needs, which may include support with stress, sleep, digestion, pain or emotional wellbeing. Points such as Shen Men and Point Zero are also used in my treatments for their calming and balancing qualities.

What happens during your treatment?

We’ll talk about what you would like support with, and I’ll choose the points that are most appropriate for you. I then place small seeds on the selected points.

The seeds allow you to gently stimulate these points yourself between appointments, extending the treatment beyond your time with me.

How might I feel?

You may notice a little tenderness or pressure when you gently press a seed. There’s no need to press hard. Everyone’s experience is individual, and ear seeds offer a simple way to continue working with your chosen points at home.

How can I experience Ear Seeds at InSPArations?

I include ear seeds within my InSPArational Signature Reset and Holistic Treatments (60, 90 or 120 minutes), choosing the approach that best suits your session.

Ear seeds use the same auricular points as auricular acupuncture, but without the use of needles. If you’d like to learn more about the needle-based approach, visit my Auricular Acupuncture page.
