Ear Seeds
Ear seeds are a type of auricular therapy — a natural way to treat an array of physical and emotional concerns. Derived from the vaccaria plant, these small adhesive seeds stimulate specific pressure points in the ear. This holistic modality is safe, non-invasive and rooted in ancient Chinese medicine. Similar to acupuncture (minus the needles) or acupressure, ear seeds aid in the treatment of anxiety, insomnia, back pain, sciatica, restlessness, headaches, libido, fertility, depression and compulsive behaviors. It also promotes relaxation and a sense of balance. In a nutshell, auriculotherapy is considered ear reflexology, which basically views the outer ear as a blueprint for the entire body.
