Subtle Points, Powerful Balance.
CHIROPRACTIC | FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE | WELLNESS
Ear Seeding is a gentle yet effective form of auriculotherapy, rooted in the principle that specific points on the ear correspond to different parts, organs, and systems of the body, offering a non-invasive way to promote balance.
During your relaxing session at Vida Holistic Health, Dr. Sandy will first identify the precise points relevant to your concerns, often guided by a symptom checklist you've completed. You'll then feel the light, comfortable application of tiny seeds (often from the Vaccaria plant) or small beads affixed with clear adhesive tape to these targeted spots on your outer ear—a generally painless sensation, much like applying a small sticker.
To enhance the stimulation and effectiveness, gentle, warming laser red light therapy is then applied over each point for about a minute before you leave, allowing the seeds to continue providing subtle, consistent acupressure for several days afterward as you go about your routine.
Your personalized Ear Seeding journey begins by pinpointing your primary areas of concern. You'll complete a detailed symptom checklist before or during your first visit, allowing Dr. Sandy to clearly understand the specific issues you'd like to address, whether it's stress, pain, sleep troubles, hormonal symptoms, or other imbalances.
Based on your completed checklist and potentially a brief visual analysis of your ear, Dr. Sandy creates a personalized Ear Seeding protocol designed just for you. This involves selecting the specific acupressure points on your ears that correspond most directly and effectively to the symptoms or body systems needing support and balance.
During your relaxing appointment, the chosen ear points are gently cleansed, and tiny seeds (or sometimes small beads) are carefully applied using medical-grade adhesive tape. To amplify the therapeutic effect and enhance stimulation painlessly, gentle laser red light therapy is then directed onto each seeded point for about a minute.
While some find relief quickly, Ear Seeding often works best with consistency, especially for chronic or complex issues. A follow-up visit is typically recommended in about two weeks to assess your response, gently remove any remaining old seeds, and apply a fresh set based on your progress. For optimal results with specific conditions, Dr. Sandy may suggest a series of treatments over 2-3 months.
I love coming to Vida Holistic Health!! The office is so well kept and beautiful. I was serviced by Dr. Sandy for adjustments and functional medicine. She was so patient and kind when explaining to me what each adjustment targeted and helped provide at home stretches. I’ve shared bloodwork with her and she created a plan with different food & vitamin/herb suggestions to target areas of concern. I’m already so much improvements in my overall health and energy! I can’t wait to be back!
I just had an incredible adjustment session with Dr. Sandy, and it was a game-changer! 🙌 She didn’t just focus on adjustments; she took the time to identify imbalances and overcompensations in my body. She helped relax my muscles and did extensive bodywork before any manual manipulations. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in what she does. 🧠💪
I highly recommend seeing her for any aches and pains you might have. Trust me, you won’t regret it!
