Ear seeds are a type of auriculotherapy, which refers to acupressure or acupuncture focused on different points of the ear. This practice is based on the same general principles of acupuncture. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), your health is based on the flow of qi, or energy, along different meridian pathways in your body, including your ears. These meridians are named according to which internal organs they are connected to. Similar to the foot map in reflexology, a map of the ear can also serve as a microcosm of the entire body. Ear seeds are placed on specific points along meridian lines in the ears to help clear up any congestion or blockages in specific reflex areas and organs of the body. 

The ear “seeds” are seeds, beads or pellets applied to the cleaned surface of the ear using tweezers and held in place with adhesive or bandage-like tape. It is possible to place ear seeds yourself, but they are generally much more accurate if placed by an acupuncturist or someone who has been trained to do so. Carefully massaging the points two to three times per day stimulates the flow of qi to clear blockages and ease symptoms. These seeds can start to fall off on their own after three to five days, but with proper care can stay on longer. This includes avoiding getting them wet when bathing or showering. 

Research has found that ear seeds can be beneficial for treating a variety of ailments including insomnia, anxiety, depression, tinnitus, PTSD, chronic pain (especially lower back pain), hormone imbalances, weight loss, smoking cessation, detox, infertility and digestive disorders.

   An ionic foot bath, also referred to as an ionic  foot detox, is a way to detoxify and re energize the body. Some believe  that in addition to detoxing the body, certain medical problems can be  treated with an ionic foot bath. Those same people even see noticeable  improvements in their health immediately following a detox session. 

 Whether you are looking for a Deep Tissue Treatment for muscle pain and  dysfunction; Sports Therapy for enhancement, maintenance, or recovery;  or a relaxing experience to relieve stress and tension – Cupping Therapy  can be employed to augment your massage experience and boost your  results. 

 What is Cupping?
Cupping  therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine dating as far back  as 3000 B.C. Cupping works by expanding the capillaries and increasing  the amount of fluid entering and leaving the body’s tissues.

How does Cupping Work?
Uniquely  designed for each patient, special cups are placed on your skin for a  few minutes to create suction. The suction uses pressure to pull skin,  tissue, and muscles upward. Patients will feel a tight, but relaxing and  soothing sensation. 

Benefits of Cupping
Cupping  is proven to increase blood circulation, disperse lactic acid, and  release muscle tension. The results of cupping are pain relief,  relaxation, improved skin health, respiratory conditions, digestion, and  more. 

Markings last an average 7 to 10 days, and vary by patient
