How to Use Ear Seeds to Help Your Child with Eczema: A Customer’s Experience

Eczema can be incredibly distressing, especially for children who suffer from intense itching, particularly at night. One of our customers, Kat, reached out to us with a heartfelt question about helping her son find relief from his eczema using ear seeds. Here’s her question and our expert advice on how to use ear seeds for eczema relief.

Kat’s Question:

“Hello, I’m hoping you can help me with placing the seeds on my son for his eczema. He itches so badly at night that he ends up not sleeping. He sometimes scratches until he’s bleeding. I am using the seeds myself and I love them. I alternate ears and alternate every few weeks between weight loss and stress relief.”

Kat’s question highlights a common issue many parents face: how to use TCM techniques like ear seeds to manage eczema symptoms in children. Below, we provide a step-by-step guide on how to apply ear seeds specifically for eczema.

Understanding Ear Seeds for Eczema Relief

Ear seeds are tiny seeds or pellets placed on specific points on the ear, which correspond to different areas of the body according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). When applied correctly, they can help alleviate various conditions, including allergies that often exacerbate eczema.

Key Acupressure Points for Eczema

1. Allergy Points (#41, #42, and #43)

These points are particularly effective for managing allergy symptoms, which often contribute to eczema flare-ups. Here’s how to locate and stimulate these points:

• Location: The allergy area is situated between points #41, #42, and #43 on the ear.
• Application:
  • Use an acupressure stick to gently slide over the area to locate spots that feel slightly painful or different in texture.
  • If unsure, place ear seeds on a few spots within this area.
  • Gently massage these points with your fingers before applying the ear seeds to enhance their effectiveness.

2. Special Point Near #38 (喘点)

This point, located near #38 (marked as a yellow point in the image), is not only effective for allergies but also provides relief for various conditions, including eczema.

• Location: Near point #38.
• Benefits: Helps with allergies, bronchial asthma, and eczema-related itching.
• Application:
  • Use the same technique of massaging and checking for any hardness or sensitivity in the area before placing the seeds.

Step-by-Step Guide to Applying Ear Seeds for Eczema

1. Clean the Ear: Make sure the ear is clean and dry before application to ensure the seeds adhere well.
2. Find the Points: Locate the allergy area between points #41, #42, and #43. Use gentle pressure with an acupressure stick to find sensitive spots.
3. Massage the Area: Before applying the seeds, massage the points with your fingers for a few seconds to stimulate them.
4. Apply the Ear Seeds: Place the ear seeds on the identified points. If you are unsure, start with two to three spots in the allergy area.
5. Alternate Ears: Switch ears every few weeks to give the points time to reset and maintain the effectiveness of the treatment.

Additional Tips

• Consistency is Key: For best results, consistently use ear seeds and monitor the changes in your child’s symptoms.
• Observe Reactions: Pay attention to how your child responds to the ear seeds. If you notice improvements, continue with the current points. If not, consider adjusting the placement slightly within the suggested areas.
