location guidance
The following ten points address the most common conditions I treat in my clinical practice. Each point is a three dimensional sphere and can be accessed from several angles so your placement does not have to identically match mine in order to be effective. When placing your ear seeds, I recommend focusing on your intentions. What are you trying to improve? How will your life shift if you experience greater balance in this area? The more meaningful the rituals you create around activating your ear seeds, the more potent this medicine will be.
Stress + Anxiety
This point translates to Spirit Gate from the Chinese name, Shen Men. It is universally beneficial for calming the spirit.
sleep
This point is related to Heart energy which governs our ability to find restful, restorative sleep.
Libido + Fertility
This point is related to Kidney energy which is the root of our constitution, and inherited from our ancestors. Abundant Kidney energy heightens libido and fertility.
BALANCE + ENERGY
This point brings the whole body towards homeostasis, encouraging centering and steady energy.
DETOX
The Liver is our primary detoxing organ. Stimulating the Liver energy supports the body's detoxification and elimination system.
ADRENAL SUPPORT
Activating this point helps to move from a threatened sympathetic fight or flight response into the safe parasympathetic state of rest, digest, and relaxation.
IMMUNITY
Stimulating this point helps to tonify Lung energy and promote the capacity for a healthy immune response.
FOCUS
Applying gentle pressure to this point helps with clarity and mindfulness. It can also reduce any impulse to dwell or ruminate on things beyond our control.
DIGESTION
The Stomach point on the ear helps support a moderate appetite, regular elimination and can reduce nausea. This is an excellent point to use with morning or motion sickness.
HORMONE BALANCE
This point is used to resolve menstrual irregularities and fertility challenges.
