Ear seeds are a form of auriculotherapy, an aspect of Chinese medicine. These tiny seeds, Vaccaria seeds, gold or swarovski crystals, are carefully applied to specific acupressure points on the ear. The ear is a microsystem representing the entire body, and stimulating these points can have profound effects on your overall health. Earseeds provide relief for a wide range of conditions, including stress, anxiety, pain, insomnia, cravings and more.
