Ear Seeds (Auricular Acupressure)
in Troy, Michigan
More than Acupressure
Gentle ear seed therapy for balance, calm,
and continued relief between sessions.
What Is Ear Seed Therapy (Auricular Acupressure)?
Ear seed therapy, also known as auricular acupressure, is a gentle, non-invasive method within Traditional Chinese Medicine that uses the ear as a microsystem reflecting the entire body. Each point on the ear corresponds to specific organs, emotions, and body functions, allowing precise stimulation to restore internal balance.
Unlike acupuncture, ear seeds use small pellets or metal beads instead of needles. These seeds are placed on specific ear points and secured with adhesive to encourage continuous acupressure. This steady stimulation helps regulate the nervous system, ease stress, and promote calm throughout the day.
Ear seed therapy is individualized, and not a fixed pattern. Placement varies according to your unique presentation, whether the goal is emotional balance, sleep support, hormone regulation, or overall wellbeing.

Techniques Used in Ear Seed Therapy Sessions
A Holistic Toolbox for Restoring Balance
Depending on your goals, Daisy may integrate several Traditional Chinese Medicine–based techniques during your visit. Each is chosen intentionally to enhance relaxation, balance, and nervous system support.
- Ear Seed Application: Precise placement of ear seeds on specific auricular points using gentle pressure and adhesive. Seeds are typically worn for three to five days to provide continuous stimulation and maintain therapeutic effects between visits.
- Auricular Mapping: Careful assessment of ear points corresponding to emotional, hormonal, or physical patterns. This helps identify imbalances and ensures each seed is placed where it will offer the greatest benefit.
- Acupressure & Auricular Acupressure: Light, sustained pressure applied to key ear points to encourage circulation, regulate the nervous system, and promote deep calm.
- Guided Breathing & Centering: Breathwork and brief mindfulness techniques to encourage parasympathetic activation and relaxation while seeds are applied.
- Aftercare Guidance: Daisy provides clear instructions for gentle self-stimulation of points at home, extending results and empowering clients to stay connected to their healing process.
Each method is applied with precision, attentiveness, and respect for your comfort—nothing is random or routine.
How Ear Seed Therapy Supports Balance and Wellness
Rebalancing Through Gentle Stimulation
Clients often choose ear seed therapy when they’re feeling physically or emotionally off balance. Though this method is non-medical and non-diagnostic, it provides steady, meaningful support by encouraging the body’s natural capacity to self-regulate.
Ear seeds can assist with:
- Chronic stress and anxiety – calming the mind and soothing overactive nervous system patterns.
- Sleep irregularities and restlessness – promoting relaxation and smoother transitions between sleep cycles.
- Emotional tension or overwhelm – gently restoring emotional steadiness through consistent acupressure on balancing points.
- Hormonal and digestive imbalance – supporting overall flow and internal rhythm within the body’s systems.
- Physical fatigue or nervous system exhaustion – easing the strain of ongoing stress and daily demands.
Your body communicates in patterns—ear seeds help those patterns shift naturally, creating a grounded sense of calm and clarity. Each application builds on the last, guiding the nervous system toward greater resilience and equilibrium.
