Ear Seeds & Basic Auricular Reflexology
Based upon Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Acupuncture & Auricular reflexology, the application of Ear Seeds can be helpful in supporting people living with a range of issues / conditions.
TCM & Auricular Reflexology believe that the ear is a micro system of the whole body, where specific points relate to specific organs and parts of the body. Energy pathways pass through the ears and through the application of Ear Seeds we are stimulating specific points which send a flow of energy to the related body parts and organs that need attention.
Ear Seeds create a continuous, gentle pressure which send messages to the brain that certain organs or systems need support. The brain then sends messages via the nervous system, helping you to feel relaxed, heal, or focus as well as releasing endorphins naturally soothing tension and discomfort.
Auricular Reflexology & the use of Ear Seeds is rapidly becoming more popular as increasing numbers of people wish to take control of their own health in a more holistic and empowering way. Auricular Reflexology integrates Western physiological models and traditional Chinese models into a treatment that is quick & effective and empowering for clients.

What to expect at your Ear Seed appointment
For new clients a full wellbeing consultation will take place prior to treatment. For existing clients, a shorter consultation will be held to discuss the area that you want assistance with via Ear Seeds and what you are currently experiencing.
The treatment will include some head massage and ear massage. I will sterilise your ear and will apply the ear seeds to specific points depending on which of the 6 areas above we are working on. The ear seeds will remain in place for 3 - 5 days. You can stimulate the ear seeds periodically throughout the day for 3-5 seconds. This will reactivate the treatment and can promote a sensation of heat, pressure or mild pain.
I will provide you with an ear map showing where I have placed ear seeds in your ear, and give you a brief explanation of the points and why they are useful in addressing the issues you are experiencing.
For some clients one application will be sufficient and for others having Ear Seeds reapplied regularly will be beneficial, particularly for clients wanting support with stopping smoking or addictions where it will be helpful to have Ear Seeds in place continuously for a period of time.

Care For Your Ear Treatment
- You should press the ear pellet, seed, or magnet three to five times a day for a few seconds at a time, or as instructed by your practitioner. This should elicit a sensation of heat, pressure, or mild pain. All this is quite normal and serves to reactivate the treatment. Do not press for more than three to five seconds at once in order to avoid irritating the skin.
- The ear pellet, seed, or magnet should be retained for three to five days. At the end of this time, please carefully remove the plaster. The ear pellet, seed, or magnet will come off with the plaster. This can then be disposed of in regular household waste.
- If the applied ear pellet, seed, or magnet becomes too painful or there is a sustained sense of discomfort, carefully remove the plaster. The ear pellet, seed, or magnet will come off with the plaster. Do not attempt to reapply the ear pellet, seed, or magnet yourself. Consult with your practitioner.
- If the skin becomes seriously irritated, including redness, bruising, or pain that doesn't go away after removal of the ear pellet, seed, or magnet, please contact your practitioner immediately.
- If you experience dizziness, nausea, or fainting, please remove the ear pellets, seeds, or magnets immediately and contact your practitioner.
- Please avoid water entering the ear when swimming or bathing. A swimming cap or shower cap can keep the ear dry.
