HOW DO CHI BEADS WORK?

    WHAT MUST I DO? HOW LONG DO THEY STAY IN MY EAR?
    • The seeds or pellets work alone and seeds can be gently pressed daily for increased effectiveness. Pellets can be applied to alternate ears to allow the skin to rest. They should be removed after 5 days, in order to avoid the possibility of skin irritation. Do not use on broken infected or inflamed skin
    HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
    • Improvement seems to be ongoing. 6 weeks of continuous treatment, seems to establish a change that can often be felt over a long period of time. Because they are so effective, many chose to use the pellets repeatedly.
    WHAT WILL I FEEL?
    • Great! Is what most people would answer. The CHI BEAD protocol is used in many different settings, and results differ with individuals. The specific points are sometimes sensitive when palpated and can remain so for a few days after seeds are applied.  Results such as relaxation, grounding, increased energy, focus, and openness, as well as reduction of cravings and insomnia are often experienced with the first treatment.
