Ear Acupuncture and Seeds

I was browsing the headlines in the Daily Mail today and an actual interesting story caught my eye - about a Dragons Den investment in a business selling acupuncture ear seeds.

As I practice ear acupuncture, with both needles and seeds (with excellent results), I see that it works for a range of conditions (your ear system is connected to many other organs in your body, like Kidneys).

Whether this lady had full ME or a viral condition is not clear.  And the comments on the story are depressingly negative - both to her and the idea that applying a sharp seed to selected points in the ear is somehow not worth trying.  As the adage goes - don't knock it til you've tried it, and what have you got to lose.  And of course a trained acupuncturist knows 'where' to place them (or needles) and can immediately detect changes in your body rhythms (pulse etc) when done right.

I also saw a NHS brochure the other day, recommending acupuncture (NHS) for Fibromyalgia - a condition similar to ME.
