In auriculotherapy, the ear is seen as a microcosm of the entire body.
Auriculotherapy is a non-invasive, safe and effective tool used to stimulate acupressure points in the ear. Ear seeds consist of tiny vaccaria seeds, beads or pellets on a sticker that can be affixed to the ear. By stimulating specific points on the ear, corresponding areas of the body and organs can be affected.
Ear seeds can be used alone or in conjunction with acupuncture and has been shown to have significant positive effects on psychological distress, drug and alcohol use, and cravings. Other common uses of ear seeds are to help patients with alleviating stress, losing weight, quitting smoking, and much more. Once applied, the ear seeds stimulate specific points through light pressure over time. And because the seeds are worn home, patients can also stimulate the points themselves by massaging the ear seeds when they feel like they need an extra boost.
