Understanding Auricular Acupressure Treatment

Ear points refer to the special acupuncture points located on the auricle (outer ear), also known as reaction points or trigger points. The relationship between the ear points and our internal organs are closely related.

When symptoms happen, the corresponding ear points will also show some local reactions such as tenderness, nodules, or discoloration. Therefore, these reaction points can not only be used as a reference for disease diagnosis, through the stimulation of the corresponding ear points can also be used to regulate the function of Zang-fu and meridians.

What are ear seeds patches?
These patches are small adhesive patches with a tiny and hard object (usually cowherb seeds) on the back, which allow patients to easily apply pressure and stimulation on the ear points.

Applications:
The applications of auricular acupressure treatment are extensive and include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

• Pain Relief: Headaches, lower back pain, joint pain.
• Digestive Issues: Stomachache, bloating, constipation.
• Menstrual Discomfort: Menstrual pain, premenstrual syndrome.
• Insomnia: Improve sleeping quality, reduce insomnia symptoms.
• Weight Management: Control appetite, promote weight loss.
• Smoking and Alcohol Cessation: Reduce dependence, aid in quitting.

Treatment Duration: Recommended for individuals aged 3 and above. Treatment duration and frequency depend on personal conditions, acupressure typically lasting a few seconds to a few minutes, multiple times a day.
