Ear seeds

Ear seeds are a non-invasive and simple treatment based on the principles of Chinese auricular therapy. Ear seeds are small metal pellets which are secured to the surface of the ear with clear tape.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine the ear represents a microcosm of the whole body. By stimulating points on the ear it is possible to create a healing response in the corresponding are of your body. There are points for everything – emotions, organs, joints, muscles and bones.

Once in place, ear seeds apply gentle and continuous pressure to the auricular point. You can amplify the effect by applying pressure to the seeds for a few seconds at a time.

I use ear alongside acupuncture needles to promote healing and balance within your body. These practices are safe and effective when administered by a qualified acupuncturist. I regularly provide them as part of my acupuncture service.

Once ear seeds are applied they can stay in place for 3-5 days. They are generally very well tolerated and look like tiny discreet items of jewellry.

I also offer a stand-alone ear seed treatment. This is a great alternative if you’re unable to attend regular acupuncture sessions.
