A review published in June 2020 in Pain Medicine evaluated individual auricular adverse events and found that auricular acupressure (ear seeding) was generally safe and much less risky than forms of auricular therapy that use needles.

Most patients report feeling an overall sense of calmness and relaxation after undergoing ear seed therapy. This relaxation can help to reduce stress and anxiety, which can lead to better overall health. Additionally, some practitioners believe that ear seed therapy can help to regulate the body’s hormones, allowing for better appetite control and reduced cravings. A 2015 study compared the minimum and maximum sensations of pain felt by 16 healthy people before and after using ear seeds. The results suggest that using ear seeds could increase pain tolerance. The ear seeds, or pellets, serve as stimuli to the ears, but they do not pierce the skin. Trained professionals commonly used plant seeds (usually from the vaccaria plant) or magnetic pearls to trigger a very specific area. What Are They Used For?Lan Y, et al. (2015).

That said, younger people should refrain from using ear seeds. “I don’t use ear seeds on small children because they can go into the ear canal if they dislodge them,” says Blakeway. Apply gentle pressure to the seeds and rub them in a circular motion for two or three minutes. Repeat two or three times daily or whenever your symptoms appear. Another point that is beneficial for weight loss is the Ear Hunger point. This point, located on the upper part of the ear, is said to regulate the appetite and reduce cravings. Stimulating this point with pressure can also help to reduce stress, which can be a contributing factor to an unhealthy diet. For ear seeds to be effective, it requires the user to be motivated to change their lifestyle. With weight loss there is no silver bullet, therefore ear seeding should be combined with a healthy diet and exercise program. What ear seeds will do, is help to interrupt our patterns of behavior. If you want to try applying ear seeds at home, and if you have already consulted your primary care provider and a licensed acupuncturist for self-application guidance and to ensure you’re a good candidate, follow these general instructions provided by Blakeway.
