If you have never heard of ear seeds, do not feel left out; a lot of us have never heard of them. But they are becoming very popular and an alternative to another popular Chinese holistic way of healing. Ear seeds are related to acupuncture and acupressure. They serve the same purpose, which is to stimulate try and stimulate the reflex centers of the brain to relax the nervous system. French neurologist Paul Nogier discovered that ears were mapped with very many pressure points that could aid in healing your body and mind.
What are the benefits of ear seeds, and what can they help with?
Ear seeds are usually magnetic and never noninvasive. They are little stickers that you can stick on to the pressure points on top of the skin of your ears. They sometimes might look like tiny little bandaids—this helps to stimulate the pressure points in the ears, thus delivering natural healing to the body. As of writing, this science has not officially backed up these claims, but ear seeds are approved for public use.
Ear seeds are reportedly used to help with several issues. They can help with addiction, weight loss, insomnia, stress, spiritual healing, Chronic back pain, Infertility, migraines, depression, and anxiety. Some say that ear seeds make you feel grounded and more clear-headed. When we are feeling depressed or anxious, we tend to self medicate either with prescription drugs or illegal drugs or even abusing our bodies. When we started taking medication, our bodies can become dependant on it. Once we feel that the medication is not working anymore, we end up taking more than we should, and that’s how we can become addicted. Since more and more deaths have happened due to overdoses on prescription medication, the debate has started that if taking prescription drugs is even worth the risk. Our bodies are supposed to heal naturally. Back before the medicine was invented, our ancestors used holistic natural ways of healing. We need to go back to those ways. We are prescribing medication to children that have been proven to lead to addiction or substance abuse. That’s why finding natural ways is imperative. The less we can slow down on prescribing drugs, the lower the death rate from overdoses will go down.
