Dr. Karly McDermott, licensed acupuncturist of Two River Acupuncture and I are grateful to share a NEW offering in our heal | WELL series —
FULL MOON - SEEDS | SOUND | SALT is a combination of three very effective modalities that promises to help you regulate your nervous system, promote physical and emotional healing and allow you to walk away with a tool to help activate specific acupressure points days after your session.
| SEEDS |
Ear seeds are small stainless steel beads placed on your ear to serve as tiny acupressure devices on the go. They’re a type of auriculotherapy, a traditional Chinese medicine technique that uses specific points on your ear for full body wellness. This is the perfect option for someone who is needle sensitive and adverse to trying acupuncture, or for those who want a little added support to their wellness routine. Ear seeds are used for pain relief, insomnia, anxiety, depression, grief, digestion, stress, and even substance addiction. In this session we will be focusing on an all-in-one protocol that will help regulate the nervous system in general.
Dr Karly McDermott places the seeds on specific points on your ear and they are held on by medical adhesive. They do not hurt, but it is normal to feel some tenderness or warmth around the area when first applied. Once they're in place, you can massage them in a circular motion 2-3 times a day and are good to carry on with every day activities such as showering, sleeping on the side of the ear, & exercising. Auriculotherapy is meant to promote the release of natural endorphins, "feel-good" chemicals in your body and increase serotonin and dopamine release. The effect is a very cute, but functional tool for wellness.
| SOUND |
Alchemy sound bath produces sound that invokes a deep state of relaxation, reduces stress and assists in holistic healing. These vibrations promote a calm mind and support the body’s ability to connect to the parasympathetic nervous system to send the body into a “rest and digest” state accelerating the body’s ability to heal.
| SALT |
Salt is known for its anti-inflammatory , anti-bacterial and immune boosting benefits. What you may not be aware of is its effect on the nervous system — we adopted this therapy years ago as a way of tapping more easily into the parasympathetic nervous system. Salt connects to the ions in the body sending you from “fight and flight” to “rest and digest”.
