24K Gold Plated Ear Seed Kit
For when life feels like too much. Ear seeds are a form of auricular acupressure rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
In TCM, the ear is a microsystem, a miniature map of the entire body, with over 120 acupressure points corresponding to organs, systems, and functions. One seed, placed on the right point, can influence your nervous system, your sleep, your digestion, or your mood.

THE BENEFITS
Calms the nervous system by stimulating the Shen Men, TCM's Spirit Gate point
Supports deeper, more restful sleep by anchoring an unsettled mind
Restores balance to the body through the ear's 120+ acupressure points
Your body carries stress in ways you don’t even realise. Our 24K Gold-Plated Ear Seed Kit is rooted in auriculotherapy (ear acupressure), a TCM practice that has helped relieve tension, pain, and energy blockages for centuries.
The gold-plated seeds stimulate pressure points to help you manage stress, boost focus, and regain balance, wherever you are.
Gently pressing certain points on the ear can help activate the body's natural relaxation system, which can reduce stress, ease anxiety, and lower pain levels.
Stimulating acupressure points triggers the body to release natural painkillers (endorphins), improving mood and reducing tension.
- Cleanse the ear with a gentle toner or water and allow to dry
- Use the ear map to find the pressure point for your specific need
- Apply the seed using tweezers or fingers, press gently for 30–60 seconds to activate
- Leave on for up to 5 days
- Press gently 2–3 times daily, particularly when you feel stress rising or before sleep
Ear seeds should always be placed externally - never inside the ear canal. Not recommended for use during pregnancy or for those with nickel or adhesive allergies.
Avoid the use of seeds on irritated skin or open lesions. Redness, swelling, skin irritation, or small sores may occur. Sometimes, when a point is “active” the ear seed will make the ear feel sore, tender and sensitive to touch. However, if your symptoms persist, please contact your doctor.

Reactions and results may vary by individual due to health differences.

How did I feel after wearing them for a while? You know what? Slightly less anxious, actually. I also think my face looked a little less puffy. Not quite Botox or filler levels of lift, but I like to think they made a difference.
What are ear seeds used for?
Ear seeds are used to stimulate acupressure points on the ear to support a range of conditions, most commonly stress and anxiety, sleep difficulties, pain, focus, and hormonal balance.
Where do I place them for stress/anxiety?
The Shen Men point, is the primary point for calming the nervous system. It sits in the triangular fossa of the upper ear. Your included ear map shows exactly where to find it.
How long do I leave them on?
Up to 5 days. Most people replace them every 3–5 days, or when the adhesive begins to loosen naturally. Remove sooner if you experience any skin irritation.
