WHAT ARE EAR SEEDS?
Auriculotherapy is the practice of stimulating points on the ear to have a corresponding therapeutic effect elsewhere in the body. Earseeds are the means in which the points can be stimulated.
Earseeds offer natural relief from stress, anxiety, depression, or addiction and even chronic & acute pain. The most common earseeds are made by placing a seed from the Vaccaria plant on adhesive tape to specific acupressure points in the ear.
I offer a range of earseed options; Vaccaria seeds (the original form of earseed), stainless steel, or gold with crystals! The crystals don’t have a therapeutic effect, but due to their flat back it makes stimulating the point a little more effective. Besides, they look fabulous!
The History of Ariculotherapy
The first mentioning of stimulating points on your ear to treat conditions elsewhere in the body was found in the text Huang-Di-Nei-Jing known as The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine and contains information that is over 4000 years old. Documentation of ear stimulation to treat varying issues was documented in Egypt, Greece as well a little later. Multiple references were made through out China all the way up to 1888. In a book on Chinese Medicine, Zhang Zhen wrote that stimulating the ear can have a therapeutic effect on the heart, lungs and kidneys. It is also known to treat symptoms of the common cold, back pain and headaches. In the 1950’s however, Dr. Paul Nogier after seeing a patient with a cauterized ear for back pain, dedicated his life to the research and study of Auriculotherapy. After a few years he made a profound discovery; the external ear is an outward projection of an upside down fetus where the corresponding body parts are super imposed on the ear. This information spread throughout Europe and China where they confirmed his findings and he became known as the Father of Auriculotherapy. At about the same time Dr. Lichen Huang was also studying Auriculotherapy and came up with the same results. She became known as the Mother of Auriculotherapy.
