AURICULOTHERAPY (EarSeeds)

WHAT IS AURICULOTHERAPY?

Auriculotherapy is the science of the ear representing a microsystem of the entire body.  As such, there are over 200 points on the ears that represent every part and organ of the body.  By stimulating specific points, you will receive a therapeutic effect on those corresponding locations, helping to relieve symptoms, issues, or conditions you are dealing with.

Auriculotherapy is originally derived from the ancient Chinese practice of Acupuncture, utilizing needles on the many various points on the body.  In the 1950's, Dr. Paul Nogier (a French doctor), along with his colleagues, extensively researched and demonstrated that specific points or areas on the ear are associated with pathologies in specific parts of the body.  According to the World Health Organization, there are on-going studies and research pertaining to the microsystem of the ear.  It is currently the most studied microsystem of the body.

 

WHAT CAN YOUR EARS TELL YOU?

By examining the ears, there are tell-tale signs of many issues you may be experiencing.  For example, there may be a crease on your earlobe that indicates a possible inner-ear issue such as Tinnitis or Hearing Loss.  There may be a tiny nodule on another part of the ear that indicates Headaches or Migraines. On yet another part of your ear, there may be indications of Neck, Back, Hip, and Sciatic problems.  Also, there may be indications of Allergies, Digestive, Hormonal,  and Heart issues. The list goes on....

 

HOW CAN YOUR EARS HELP YOU?

By placing Ear Seeds (No Needles!) on the specific points of the ear, you will have continual stimulation on these points for several days at a time.  The seeds may stay in place from 2 - 5 days by themselves, but can stay on for up to 7 days. At that point, you need to remove them, give your ear(s) a break for 8-24 hours and then have them replaced (depending on your issues and whether you have received relief). If your issue has been chronic, it is usually recommended that the seeds be replaced several times for the best benefit. While the ear seeds are in place, you will be stimulating them multiple times a day by pressing on them for 3-5 seconds each for the best results. You will be surprised that those points may be very tender! That's not an indication for removal; that means they are doing their job and are in the right location.  Some people experience extreme soreness.  If this happens, you can remove them, but I recommend vigorously massaging your ears daily, and then trying the ear seeds again.  You'll be surprised at how effective they are!

WHAT ARE EAR SEEDS?

Ear Seeds are the tiny seeds from the Vaccaria plant held in place by a tiny latex bandaid. These are the most commonly used.  If you are allergic to latex, there are other options.

There are also tiny pellets made of stainless steel or 24k gold. These are used with a clear non-latex adhesive tape and are barely visible.

If you want a little "bling" on your ear, I also have 24k gold ear seeds with Swarovski Crystals (at additional cost).
