Derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ear Seeding, which is sometimes called auricular acupressure, is a noninvasive technique that stimulates pressure points on the ear. The goal is to target specific pressure points to help alleviate symptoms and improve your overall health. While ear seeding is similar to auricular acupuncture, it does not involve the use of needles. Instead, tiny seeds are placed on acupressure points on your ear to stimulate nerve pathways to your brain and prompt your body’s natural healing mechanisms to kick in.
Ear seeding is a form of acupressure where the external surface of your ear—or auricle—is stimulated to alleviate pain or promote healing in different parts of your body. These "seeds" come in a variety of different materials, such as Stainless Steel, Gold, Silver, Clear Swarovski or Chakra colored Crystals or a more natural element, the Vaccaria Seed, which comes directly from a Vaccaria plant. When booking with Kym, she will go over the difference in the seeds and what she feels will work best for you.
The goal of ear seeding is to alleviate specific symptoms or to improve your overall health. Usually, three to six seeds are applied at one time, each designed to target a particular part of the body. Ear seeding is mainly used to treat pain, calm the mind, reduce anxiety/depression, memory/focus, libido, addiction, kids behavioral support, allergies, menopause, premenstrual discomfort, pain management, lower back/sciatica/hips or neck and shoulders, sleep/insomnia, inflammation, headache/migraines, acne, motion sickness, or aid with weight management and more!
