Have you ever noticed that sometimes people touch or rub their ears when speaking, processing a thought or feeling an emotion?    It’s an instinctive thing we do without consciously choosing to do so, the pressure on different parts of the ear turns on or off different systems within our body.   Ear seeds are small seeds or balls that stick to your ears on specific acupressure points to relieve discomfort or painful symptoms. Ear Seeds are a form of auriculotherapy and are rooted in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) used for centuries as a form of acupressure.   Originally the seeds from the vaccaria plant were used as they were small in size, similar to a poppy seed, with the ability to stick to the ear.   Modern variations use metal, ceramic and crystal “seeds”, referred to as healing jewellery by some.
