Ear seeds are tiny seeds or metal beads (sometimes plant-based, sometimes gold- or stainless-steel) placed gently on the outer ear using a small adhesive patch. You don’t pierce or break the skin and hey stay on for a few days and provide gentle stimulation to ear pressure-points.

Ear seeds apply gentle pressure to specific points on the outer ear.

These points are connected to small nerve pathways that communicate with the brain. When stimulated, they send signals through the nervous system that can help the body regulate itself, ease tension, and support overall balance.

They’re a non-invasive way to engage the same pathways used in acupuncture, just without needles.

Ear seeds may offer gentle support for common concerns like tension, stress, sleep, focus, digestion, and overall balance. Results may vary from person to person.

Typically 3–5 days. After that, it’s good to remove them and let the skin rest a little before putting on a new set. If you want to reapply right away, you can place new seeds on the other ear. For best adhesion, apply them to clean, dry skin and try not to touch the sticky side while placing them.

No. Ear seeds sit on the surface of the skin and don’t pierce or break it. Most people feel only light pressure or nothing at all. If a point feels tender, that’s normal and usually fades as your body adjusts. If you feel discomfort, simply remove the seed.
