Ear Seeds

Crystal ear seeds are a modern take on a traditional practice. Instead of a plain seed, a small Swarovski crystal sits on the adhesive, so the ritual becomes as lovely as it is gentle. White Lotus Beauty was founded in 2004 by two qualified acupuncturists, and our five element set gives you the colours of the whole system in one kit.

Ear seed questions

What are ear seeds?

Ear seeds are tiny seeds or crystals held on points of the outer ear with a small adhesive. They are a gentle, non invasive form of auricular acupressure from traditional Chinese medicine, worn as a self care ritual.

How do you apply ear seeds?

Clean and dry the outer ear, lift a seed with tweezers, then press it gently onto your chosen point and hold for a few seconds. Many people apply the same points on both ears for balance.

How long do you wear them?

Ear seeds are usually worn for around three to five days, then removed. Rest the skin for a day before applying a fresh set, and do not reuse seeds.
