Friday Favorites: WTHN

May 6, 2022

Life is full of change, and sometimes the mind and body get stressed when it cannot keep up with the inner and outer alterations. Change isn’t new, so there must have been natural ways in history that helped the mind and body handle the stress of life. WTHN is a female owned brand and acupuncture studio that revives the ancient practice of seeding to help your body and mind while helping you connect with your body and mind.

What's Seeding?

Seeding is an ancient Chinese practice where Vaccaria seeds, from a dried floral plant also known as cow basil, is placed on specific parts of the ear to create positive effects within the body. This is a form of Auriculotherapy, a holistic practice where the ear is viewed as a microsystem that represents the entire body.

WTHN has taken this practice and added it to their Acupuncture studio and available wellness products. With Swarovski Crystals on a stainless steel base, WTHN provides new-era ear seeds that can be used in the comfort of your home to help temporarily reduce negative stress on the body.

For about 2 weeks, I used the WTHN ear seeds to help with my focus during my consistency challenge. With the help of the provided acupuncture chart, periodic pressure, and consistent use, I was able to feel relief within a few days and I felt as though I had a longer attention span which, in the end, made feel more motivated to complete projects. I will definitely look to the ear seeds as an alternative to my not-so-great stress-relievers such as binge eating and working through the pain.
