Ear seed therapy is a safe, natural, and effective treatment modality used in treating various health problems.  We call it no-needle acupuncture since it works the same way as regular acupuncture with the similar benefits, but without the use of acupuncture needles.  Instead of using the needles, we use what’s called ear seeds.  They are tiny black seeds from vaccaria plants or cabbage.  Each ear seed is secured on the ear with a piece of adhesive tape over a specific acupuncture point and left in the ear for up to a week.  The idea is to apply gentle pressure on the seeds several times a day to provide constant stimulation to the area of the body where you have the problem. 

Ear seeds induce relatively mild stimulation compared to the needles.  However, the ear seeds allow you to experience ongoing effects of acupuncture treatment after you leave the clinic whenever you press on the seeds.  Continually providing stimulation to the affected area of the body can speed up the healing process especially during the interval between treatments.  Ear seeds are often used for children and ideal for people who are sensitive to needles.
