Our seeds & kits

Are ear seeds safe?

Ear seeds are generally well tolerated by most people. If you experience irritation, discomfort or an allergic reaction to the adhesive, simply remove the ear seed.

 If you are pregnant, have a skin condition affecting the ear, or have any medical concerns, we recommend consulting your healthcare professional before use.

Can I wear ear seeds if I'm pregnant?

Some ear points should be avoided during pregnancy. We recommend speaking with your healthcare provider or a qualified Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner before using ear seeds during pregnancy.

Can I wear ear seeds all the time?

We recommend allowing your ears a day or two to rest between applications before applying a new set.

Can children use ear seeds?

Ear seeds may be suitable for older children under adult supervision, however we recommend seeking advice from a qualified healthcare practitioner first.

Do you offer different Ritual Kits?

Yes. Our collection has been thoughtfully created around everyday wellbeing rituals, including support for stress, sleep, hormonal balance, digestion, focus and head tension.
