When You're Not Getting a Good Night's Rest...Try Ear Seeds!
The Science Behind Ear Seeds and Insomnia & Sleep Disorders
Studies point to improved sleep in postmenopausal women and cancer patients
Eighty-two women who had gone through menopause (ages 45-60) were divided into two groups in one study: one group receiving auriculotherapy for four weeks on sleep-related ear points and one group (the control) receiving auriculotherapy on false points and using ear seeds with no beads.
At the end of the study, there were statistically significant improvements in the legitimate ear seeds group in dimensions of:
Sleep duration
Sleep efficiency
Daily functioning
Overall sleep quality score
And more!
Another study found that ear acupressure improved the sleep quality of cancer patients who were experiencing sleep disturbances.
One more study sought to understand the effects of the stimulation of ear seeds on sleep in older females; participants who stimulated their ears by applying gentle pressure on the seeded ear points three times a day reported better sleep quality than participants whose ears were seeded but no pressure was applied.
