Reflexology and Auricular Ear Seeds

 

Acu seeds by East Healing Earseeds are a gentle, non-invasive form of auricular therapy that can be used during your treatment sessions or purchased to continue support at home.

​

Auricular (ear) accupuressure is a technique by which small seeds are placed onto certain points in your outer ear to help with common complaints such as anxiety, insomnia, stress and pain etc this simple technique has been used for 1000s of years in Chinese medicine and is quite quickly building in its popularity in Western health care, probably due to the effectiveness, needle free, simple and quick application support and improve common ailments, which is both natural and boasts only minimal side effects.

During the ear seed application we use Acu Seeds , which are gold or silver plate seeds stuck on to the ear with a small clear adhesive sheet (as seen on recent Dragons Den)

In traditional chinease medicine (TCM) It is thought that the ear represents the whole body. Therefore each part of the ear has a corresponding point to an organ/ body part or ailment. By locating these points a small seed is placed in these points. This creates a continual and gentle pressure on the nerve impulse of this point, in turn this sends signals to Brain that certain systems/organs need support and in response the brain then sends signals to the organs and parts of the body that may need support, releasing endorphins, helping to relax the nervous system and naturally smooth pain.

Earseeds can be incorporated into your treatment session as a supportive addition to bodywork, scar therapy, or lymphatic treatments. They are also available to purchase in clinic, allowing you to continue stimulation at home between appointments.

I provide clear guidance on how to activate them safely, how long to wear them (typically 3–5 days), and when to remove them. They are comfortable, discreet, and suitable for most people.

If you are curious whether ear seeding would be appropriate for you, we can discuss this as part of your appointment and tailor point selection to your individual needs.

FAQs

How Earseeds Work?

Auricular therapy is based on the principle that stimulating specific points on the ear can influence the nervous system, support regulation, and encourage balance within the body. The ear has a rich nerve supply, including branches connected to the vagus nerve, which plays a key role in stress regulation and parasympathetic (rest and repair) function.
