and feel around in different areas of the ear with a
probe or tweezers, looking for tender areas to indicate
activated points. They will explain to you what
they are doing, and what they are looking for, they
may even snap a picture of the indicators on your ear
that they’re identifying and show you what they see.
After placement, your practitioner will instruct you
how often to press on the seeds. For general wellbeing
and stress, you can press on them periodically
throughout the day. For weight management, it helps
to press when you feel a craving coming on, and for
acute pain, like pulled muscles or injuries, you may
find that pressing more often brings relief to the affected
area, so you can press them more often.
What kinds of problems can ear seeds help with?
With hundreds of ear points, for everything from
physical pain to emotional imbalance, and points for
nearly every body part, an EarSeeds Certified Practitioner
can dig below the surface of your symptoms
and customize a treatment plan to address almost
any condition. That does not mean it can cure any
type of condition, but auriculotherapy has been
shown to help alleviate symptoms and help people
with so many things including headaches, back pain,
vertigo, menstrual issues, allergies, hormonal imbalances,
digestive issues and so much more.

is different. Many factors including the type of

condition, the root cause, presentation and individual
response all affect treatment plan and response time.
Some people feel a result instantaneously or within
minutes. For others, it may take 24-48 hours, or it
may require a number of treatments over a matter of
weeks. Your practitioner may choose different points
from one appointment to the next in order to suss out
which combination of points are having the greatest
impact to achieve the results you’re looking for. Be
patient, listen to your body.
But really, does it work?
According to the World Health Organization, the ear
is perhaps the most studied microsystem of the entire
body. There have been hundreds of books written
in dozens of languages, and the modality is practiced
around the world. A quick search of Auriculotherapy
+ PubMed studies will bring up a host of research
studies that speak to the efficacy of the modality. It’s
truly incredible what a powerful tool our ears are for
our health and well-being!
