Welcome back,
Today I have something a little different to share with you: an Ear Seeding Kit from Zen Seeds.
When Zen Seeds got in touch with me and asked if I would like to try one of their kits, I was intrigued because I hadn't ever heard of ear seeding before. Once I had read up about it on the Zen website, I thought it sounded such an interesting practice and wanted to share it with you as I thought it was something you might be interested in too.
I will also have a discount code for you at the end of today's post so you can try out ear seeding too. So keep an eye out for that.
What Is Ear Seeding?
The following information is taken from the Zen Seed website:
Ear Seeding is also known as ear acupressure or ear reflexology. This holistic wellness practice involves placing small seeds or beads onto specific points on the ear.
The aim of ear seeding is to foster balance and harmony within the body, alleviating stress and targeting specific health concerns. Increasingly popular as a non-invasive, relaxing, and natural way to promote overall well-being, ear seeding is favoured for its potential to reduce tension, enhance relaxation, and contribute to a sense of inner balance and tranquillity.
Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the ear is viewed as a micro-representation of the entire body, likened to an inverted fetus. Modern clinical research supports its influence on neural pathways. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy, health relies on the flow of Qi (energy) within the body. Qi travels along invisible pathways called meridians, which are present throughout the body, including the ears. By placing ear seeds on specific points along these meridian lines, it's believed blockages in Qi can be cleared, aiding a variety of health conditions.
Ear seeding not only unblocks energy meridians but also stimulates nerve connections between the ear and the central nervous system. Pressure applied to a particular point triggers a nerve impulse from the ear to the brain, which then sends healing messages to the affected organ or system. This stimulation prompts the brain to release pain-relieving endorphins into the bloodstream, offering quick relief from chronic pain and discomfort.
Some Of The Potential Benefits Of Ear Seeding Are:
Stress Reduction
Digestive Health
Addiction Support
Pain Management
Migraine
Menopause Symptoms
Back Pain
And much more
Zen Seeds Ear Seeding Kit - Silver
The Zen Ear Seeding Kit comes in Silver or Gold, I have the Silver. Inside the kit is everything you need for around three or more treatments, the kit includes:
- 20 x Silver Ear Seeds
- 1 x Silver Tweezers
- 1 x Acupuncture Point Probe
- 1 x Booklet
- 3 x Alcohol Wipes
Inside the kit, there is a booklet which has lots of helpful information including how to apply and remove the ear seeds and where to apply them depending on the problem you have plus lots more information on the placement of the seeds and how they work. The Zen Seeds website is also brilliant, it's easy to navigate and has some brilliant reviews on there and some really helpful information.
The seeds themselves are tiny, I have the silver seeds and there are enough seeds in each kit to use for three treatments at least. The seeds come on a clear round plaster and are easy to peel off the packaging with the tweezers supplied in the kit, they adhere to clean, dry skin with ease and using the probe, are fairly easy to apply using the guide in the booklet to show where to place them on the ear.

Once the seeds are all in place, it is recommended to massage each seed at least three times per day for five days. Should you want to try more treatments it is best to use your other ear and apply in the same way.
It is NOT recommended to use the ear seeds during pregnancy as this can cause premature labour.
Overall Thoughts:
I was really intrigued by the concept of ear seeding and the
Zen Seeds Kit is a brilliant way of trying ear seeding for the first time. The website was so insightful and gave me all the information I needed to try ear seeding along with the booklet included in the kit.
The ear seeding kit I received is great and has everything you need included, they are £24.99 for either a silver or gold kit. The seeds can be bought separately for £7.00 per pack, meaning you don't need to buy a new kit if you want to continue using the ear seeds, you can also buy the other items included in the kit separately.
If you would like to try ear seeding, you can buy the Zen Ear Seeding Kit from their website by clicking
