Ear Seeding

Stop by the Brooklyn Apothecary on Saturday February 8th from 1pm-6pm to receive personal ear seeds with acupuncturist Kim Jernick. 

Please note: You do not need to purchase tickets in advance; walk-in and pay at register. Appointments are first come first served: $40 includes ear seeds and a 15-20 minute mini consultation.

Ear seeds are rooted in the rich heritage of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and are used to reduce stress, relieve pain, restore balance, enhance energy flow, and more.

TCM teaches that the ear reflects the whole body, with different points connecting to specific organs or body parts. Ear seeds stimulate these points, promoting the flow of qi, or vital life force energy, to areas in need of healing.

Originally derived from the natural vaccaria plant, ear seeds are a form of auriculotherapy, a practice shown to help with a variety of issues and symptoms such as: 

• Chronic pain
• Sleep difficulties
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Stress
• Infertility
• Migraines or other headaches
• Addiction
• Weight loss

As a non-invasive approach with a deep legacy in TCM, ear seeds are an accessible way to address a wide range of conditions, while also supporting and harmonizing the mind, body, and soul. 

Each ear seed offering includes a personal consultation, a detailed explanation of ear seeds, and a customized treatment.

Kim earned her Master's of Science degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Pacific College of Health and Science in New York City, where she practiced Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine. Her passion for the healing arts has been driven by profound personal experience, as she’s been on a lifelong, non-linear journey of health and wellness. Her approach mirrors her teachers and mentors’; to see each person as unique and offer a comprehensive and individualized treatment accordingly.

Kim believes that good health is a virtue of harmony within and is devoted to strengthening the mind, body, and soul connection within each patient. Personally, she finds nourishment by cultivating physical, spiritual and interpersonal practices, such as dance, reading, self-inquiry, true friendships, and long cuddles with her cat, Billie Jean.
