By now we know that anything trending is very rarely new. It's just been revamped, renamed and gone a little viral on TikTok. There are certainly some trends that deserve more attention than others, and as a cynical health and beauty journalist I'm the first to deinfluence you. Despite its virality (we're talking 142 million on TikTok), there's one thing that I'm 100% all for: acupuncture and ear seeds. Not just because they look like very chic piercings, either.
I've done acupuncture on and off for years to help with chronic illness, but I've been committed to it over the past few months. Only recently have I experienced ear seeds, and it's safe to say, I've become fascinated. But what exactly are they and how can they help you? I got the lowdown on all things ear seeds from the woman who does mine, Laura Lewis who has a degree in acupuncture from the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, now practising at Pricc (yep, the best name ever for an acupuncture clinic).
