Lovely product, but does not work for everyone
As the headline states, I feel this product may not be for everyone. I really do love the concept of the product, the information they have on their website about auriculotherapy, and all the different ailments it can support. I have no ill feelings toward this product, but I just wanted to share my experience and say it's worth a try if you're looking at alternative methods for pain and other issues.
**For context, I already have piercings in certain areas of my ear but also episodic migraines, genetic allergies, IBS, and GAD.
When I first tried the seeds I used some on my tragus points for headaches and the "point b" placement for stomach issues. The next morning I felt extremely dizzy and nauseous so took them off. I kept the point b seed since I wanted to test if it was all the seeds or just some of them making me sick. I looked at the headache chart again and I misplaced the seeds on the wrong side of my tragus-my mistake! I tried them again on the right spots days later, had my bf help me, and placed one on the Shen Men point as well. The next day I got a bad headache but couldn't tell if it was from allergies, neck pain, or the seeds. I take some meds, the day goes on and I'm fine again albeit some exhaustion from med side effects. Throughout the day my bf suggests taking the seeds off but I figure I should give it more time. That same night after we went out for thai food I got sick in a way that felt like cramps mixed with a stomach ache (maybe it was the thai tea cream they used, idk, i guess im lactose on some rare occasions) but even after i threw up i felt the same pain in my stomach and was so confused. My bf suggested removing the seeds again after I felt so defeated and tired from being sick, so I gave in. I slowly started feeling a bit better thereafter albeit the exhaustion. I guess in the end I wanted to believe this could help me.
For anyone open to trying this I would say give it a few days each time u try it and if you get sick at all and suspect it to be bc of the seeds, it just might be. Maybe I should've waited longer than a day or two? Not sure.
Again, I have no hard feelings at all, so I gave the product a good rating, I'm just bummed my body had weird reactions to the product.
