Ear Acup — Traditional

Ear seeds are very effective for relieving menstrual pain. The primary points to select are: Shenmen, Sympathetic, Uterus, Endocrine, Brain Stem and Ovary. Adjunct points can be used on other affected areas such as the Back for back pain, Spleen for diarrhea and so on.
Ear seeds can be placed one week before each menstrual cycle. The patient should massage the points for five minutes three times each day or as frequently as possible. To prevent the seeds from falling out, advise the patient not to wash that ear during showers and not to rub the ear too hard with a towel while the ear is still wet. Each course of treatment is four months. Alternate ear each month.
