How To Apply Ear Seeds
Ear Seed Placement
Making the most of your ear seeds is key – if you can master the art of application and how to apply ear seeds you’ll be in love with them forever!
Here are my hints and tips for successful ear seed placement.
- Gather your ear seeds, tweezers and cleansing wipes, along with our AcuPips ear maps and instructions for placement.
- Throughly clean your ear to remove the natural oils. This will ensure proper adhesion of the ear seeds and make them last longer.
- Locate the point from the chart that you are looking to place the ear seed on.
- Using the tweezers, carefully peel the ear seed from its backing. Try not to use your fingers to do this because the ear seed needs to be free from oils on the skin.
- Place the ear seed gently on the chosen acupressure point. Push firmly to ensure proper adhesion. Make sure you ear seed both ears.
- Repeat steps 3-5 for other acupressure points on the ears.
- Massage the ear seeds throughout the day to activate the pressure points. Whilst this is good practice, if you forget then don’t worry! The ear seeds will do their job regardless.
- Ear seeds can be left for 3-5 days on the ear, although my patients often wear them for longer. If you get them wet they should stay in place, just pat them dry with a towel.
- Remove them carefully and wait 24 hours before further application.

Ear seeds, tiny plant seeds adhered to specific acupressure points on the ear, offer a promising approach to promoting well-being through gentle pressure stimulation. But knowing where to place them is key to unlocking their full potential.
Understanding Ear Acupressure:
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has mapped the ear with various acupressure points corresponding to different organs and body functions. By stimulating these points with ear seeds, we aim to influence energy flow (qi) and address imbalances that contribute to discomfort or imbalances.
By exploring the world of ear seed placement and embracing a holistic approach, you can tap into the potential of this gentle yet powerful wellness tool.
