Auriculotherapy & Ear Seeding focus on the ear’s natural microsystem—an intricate map of the body’s internal systems.

This isn’t spiritual woo or New Age - it’s a science‑based therapy rooted in neurology and micro‑reflex systems.

What Is Auriculotherapy & Ear Seeding?
-
A modern, science‑based method to influence the nervous system
-
Not acupuncture or based on Traditional Chinese Medicine meridians, as many think
-
Developed as a reflex therapy by French neurologist Dr. Paul Nogier in the 1950s
-
Dr. Nogier discovered specific ear reflex points that correspond to body systems, identifying them through changes in the Vascular Autonomic Signal (VAS).
-
Auriculotherapy & Ear Seeding are widely used in pain clinics, and holistic practices as a gentle complementary therapy.
Ear seeding is a simple, non‑invasive form of Auriculotherapy. Tiny seeds (traditionally from the Vaccaria plant) or small gold/metal beads are placed on specific ear points with adhesive tape.
-
Needle‑free & painless: Just small seeds gently resting on the skin.
-
Long‑lasting effect: Seeds stay in place 3–7 days, providing ongoing stimulation.
-
You participate: You press the seeds a few times a day to activate the points.
How Auriculotherapy & Ear Seeding Work
-
Direct nervous system connection – The ear is linked to multiple cranial nerves, including the auricular branch of the vagus nerve, which helps regulate stress responses.
-
Point detection – Sensitive or “active” points on the ear can reveal areas of imbalance or pain.
-
Stimulation → response – Gentle stimulation of these points can calm overactive pathways, release endorphins, and support natural balance in the body.
