Ear Seeds For Migraines
Ear seeds help support migraine relief by gently stimulating specific acupressure points on the ear that are linked to headache relief, nervous system balance, and pain regulation.
Used in auricular therapy, ear seeds apply continuous, light pressure that may help reduce headache intensity, calm the nervous system, and ease common migraine symptoms such as head pain, tension, nausea, and light sensitivity.
By supporting the body’s natural stress response and promoting relaxation, ear seeds can be a gentle, non-invasive tool for supporting migraine management and headache prevention naturally.
Many people use ear seeds alongside lifestyle strategies and professional care as part of a holistic approach to migraine relief and wellbeing.
Using ear seeds to support migraine relief is a simple, discreet way to encourage relaxation, ease head tension, and support nervous system balance as part of a holistic routine.
Each set comes with detailed ear maps written by licensed acupuncturist and AcuPips founder Zoë Young, making it easy to place your ear seeds on the correct acupressure points associated with headache relief, pain regulation, and stress support.
Once applied, gently press each ear seed for 10–20 seconds, two to three times per day, especially during the early signs of a migraine or periods of tension and overwhelm, to encourage relaxation and help the body return to balance.
AcuPips ear seeds are made from gold plated, silver or rose gold metal, crystal, or natural vaccaria seeds, making them discreet, comfortable, and suitable for everyday wear. The adhesive used is 3m grade and typically skin-safe, and designed to hold the ear seeds securely in place while still allowing for easy removal.
For best results, ear seeds can be worn for 3–5 days at a time and used consistently alongside supportive recovery practices such as counselling, mindfulness, healthy routines, and adequate rest. While ear seeds do not treat or cure addiction, using them with expert-guided ear maps helps ensure safe, intentional placement and can support a more grounded, confident approach to managing cravings, stress, and emotional balance as part of a holistic recovery routine.
