Auricular therapy is the practice of treating the ear based on the concept that the ear reflects the entire body. The ear is considered a microsystem, meaning specific points on the ear correspond to different organs and systems.

In the clinic, auricular therapy may include placing acupuncture needles on specific points of the ear. This method is well known for supporting concerns such as:

• Smoking cessation
• Weight loss support
• PTSD and trauma-related patterns
• Stress and anxiety
• Pain regulation

Ear seeds (auricular acupressure) are a non-invasive version of this therapy. Small seeds are applied with tiny stickers to stimulate specific points on the ear.

The ear can also show signs of acute or chronic imbalance, such as redness, visible veins, or discoloration. Ear seeds come in a variety of styles and may be used for calming, pain relief, or other supportive goals.

What to Expect

Ear seeds are applied in the clinic and can remain on the ear for up to 5 days. You will be shown how to stimulate the points several times a day depending on your condition.
