Auricular Acupuncture
A micro system of the body is found on the ear, and can be used as a stand alone treatment when needled, with a huge success rate among addiction patients as one specific example.
All acupuncture sessions however, can include needles placed in the appropriate points on the auricular for each individual. Or at the least, ear seeds attached at the end of the session for the patient, for continued stimulation once you leave the clinic.

Even more exciting though, there is evidence that dysfunction of the Amygdala can be addressed via auricular Acupuncture too. The Amygdala, found within the temporal lobe of the brain is relied upon for our emotional responses, anxiety, fear, anger etc, and creates the connection to our emotional memories. Dysregulation is known to be involved in psychiatric cases.
Acupuncture success is well known for the release of energetic blockages, especially for chronic disorders, and auricular Acupuncture also has this capacity. Therefore seeking and treating the appropriate energetically active points on the auricular can enhance any acupuncture session or indeed, be used alone.
Vaccaria Ear Seeds
Ear seeds are a common added extra to the end of an acupuncture session, to prolong therapeutic actions. Your first experience with Ear Seeds may seem unusual, maybe you can’t stop touching them, maybe you want to show them off?! either way, they can quickly become an important part of your healing journey.
Application
If this is your first time applying Ear Seeds to your own ear, follow the instructions below:
✳️Vaccaria Ear Seeds are not a substitute for medical treatment and should be used alongside advice from your healthcare professional.
✳️Do not insert in to the inner auricular or use on any other body part.
✳️Remove if irritation or pain arises.
To apply your Ear seeds, firstly clean and dry your ear to remove natural oils.
Then simply use tweezers or a finger nail, to carefully remove a seed plus its backing plaster, via the purposely made space on the side of the pack.
Stick to the points shown above, on the ear of choice.
You can use only one point, or both for maximum relaxation.
Using the leaflet and the photo above as guidance, Shen Men point is found in the triangular fossa, and the location of the Heart point is central of the concha cavum.
Once in place they gently stimulate the points, but can be pressed, when needed for an extra boost of intensity.
— Seeds can stay in place safely for up to 7 days, then removed by peeling off and disposing in the bin.
— Apply Ear seeds to the opposite ear when required next time.
—The Wellness Box is supplied with 10 single use Ear Seeds for you to use at your own convenience.
