As a health professional, no matter what your main modality is, it's important to address underlying issues to truly help your clients achieve better health outcomes.

Stress and anxiety are one root cause, which can prevent clients from entering into a healing state and experiencing the full benefit of your treatments.

One powerful technique that can help your clients manage stress and anxiety is ear seeding.

It can enhance your existing treatments and provide new benefits for your clients. In this post, we'll explore how ear seeding works and why you should consider adding it to your toolkit.

What Are Ear Seeds?

Ear seeds are small, round seeds made from natural materials like the vaccaria plant or 24k gold, stainless steel or silver pellets that are that are placed on specific points on the ear with a medical adhesive tape.

Some ear seeds come with Swarovski® crystal embellishment making for stylish ear acupressure jewelry.

The pressure from the seed on the ear point helps to stimulate the numerous nerve branches on the ear connecting directly the the brain.

The brain, in turn, sends messages of homeostasis or balance to the corresponding area of the body. Ear seeds are non-invasive and virtually painless, making them an ideal option for aftercare treatments.

How Can Ear Seeds Boost the Effectiveness of Your Treatments?

#1 Ear Seeds Help Balance the Nervous System

Acupressure from ear seeds has a regulating effect on the nervous system. For clients in a sympathetic dominant nervous system state, ear seeds help switch the body into a parasympathetic dominant state.

Balancing the nervous system and promoting relaxation will help enhance the effects of your main treatments, which is especially helpful for clients who are dealing with stress, anxiety, or other conditions that affect the nervous system.

#2 Ear Seeds Help Lower Cortisol Levels within 5 Days

A clinical study shows, ear seeding can help lower cortisol levels, which can be a key factor in reducing stress and anxiety. Cortisol is a hormone that is produced in response to stress, and high levels of cortisol can have negative effects on the body, including increased inflammation and decreased immune function.

By stimulating Shen Men on the ear with ear seeds, you can help to balance the body's cortisol levels and promote relaxation. This can lead to improved sleep, reduced pain and inflammation, and a greater sense of overall well-being

#3 Ear Seeds Help Alleviate Pain and Inflammation

Ear seeding can also be used to help alleviate pain and inflammation in the body. The seeds can be placed on points that correspond to the area of the body where the client is experiencing pain or inflammation. The mild stimulation provided by the seeds can help to increase blood flow to the affected area and reduce inflammation, leading to decreased pain and improved mobility.

#4 Ear Seeds Help Promote Restful Sleep

Another benefit of ear seeding is its ability to promote restful sleep. The seeds can be placed on points that are associated with sleep and relaxation, helping to calm the mind and body and improve the quality of sleep. This can be especially helpful for clients who are struggling with sleep issues, such as insomnia or restless sleep

#5 Ear Seeds Help Manage Stress and Other Symptoms Between Visits

Have your clients ever reported that they felt great after their treatment with you until something stressful happened?

One of the greatest advantages of ear seeding is that it provides continuous, mild stimulation for up to five days. This means that clients can continue to experience the benefits of ear seeding between their appointments with you. This can be especially helpful for managing symptoms like stress, anxiety, pain, or insomnia that may persist between visits.
