How to gain an edge on stress management for 5 cents.
Next time you go grocery shop, BYO bag. Save that 10 cents so you can spend it on ear seeds instead. That's what my grandma would say :)

To learn more about ear seeds you can visit my previous post where I explain what ear seeds are. This post is dedicated to showing you how to use ear seeds for stress management.
What you will need:
5 ear seeds
An acupressure ear map (scroll down)
A mirror OR someone who can put your ear seeds on for you
Optional: A pair of tweezers — not necessary but will make it easier to pinpoint where you put the seed
How to:
Place the ear seed on the acupressure points circled in green on one ear
Leave on for 2–3 days - showering is fine. If it irritates your skin, just take it off
Switch off ears every 2–3 days - to give your ear time to rest
Massage each point at least 3x/day - the more often you do it, the better
Sore points means it is needed more - those are areas that need better circulation
*Just a quick heads up everyone’s ear anatomy has slight differences.
MOMA Worthy Ear Chart IMO. Circled in green are points for stress management.
Keep in mind: There are many different protocols for each condition but this is the one I use. You can definitely improvise (add or subtract points) as you like. If you have shoulder pain, add in a shoulder point!
I’ve found ear seeds to be a great addition for combating stress in my personal life. It is not the same as a full-on acupuncture treatment but it’s a great way to give myself an edge during stressful times. Just my 5 cents haha!
If you decide to try it, have fun and let me know how it goes!
