00:00The 24 karat gold ear seeds are gold plated magnets
00:04that are applied to the pressure points of the ears
00:07that send signals to the reflex centers of the brain.
00:16I'm Sharmy and I am getting
00:18the 24 karat ear seeds procedure done today.
00:21I have suffered from anxiety depression
00:24for pretty much all of my life.
00:26Recently, during the pandemic,
00:28I found out that I was diagnosed with OCD as well.
00:31Previously, I was on medication for depression
00:34and that worked pretty well,
00:35but it felt more like a band-aid as opposed to like a cure
00:38or something that I could really have in my life full time.
00:42I'm very excited about medicine that is not Eurocentric.
00:46I'm ready to relax and really feel grounded.
00:50I'm Mona Dan, founder of V-Healing in West Hollywood.
00:53V-Healing is about five years old
00:56and I've been practicing for about 10 years.
00:58The seeds are actually made up of magnets
01:00and the 24 karat gold does give a tonifying effect,
01:04but it's also there just for the beauty aspect of it.
01:07For Sharmy, because she's dealing with the combination
01:10of anxiety, depression, and OCD,
01:12what she needs is for her mind and heart to kind of connect.
01:16Okay, so today you're going to be introduced to the world of ear seating.
01:20I definitely need to feel a little bit more relaxed.
01:23I also suffer from OCD,
01:25so I don't know if there's anything in particular that can help.
01:28I would recommend doing our protocol.
01:30This protocol, it's great for stress, anxiety, pain,
01:33insomnia, hormonal imbalance, and digestion.
01:36We also do focus a lot on pain too.
01:38So if you look at the map,
01:39you'll see that there's a lot of different locations
01:41that are correlated to the body.
01:44Perfect. I'm excited.
01:48So first, we swab the ear to remove all the excessive oils
01:51that we do carry on our ears, the natural oils.
01:54And once the ear is dried, then we start applying the points.
01:59I'll peel the seeds gently off the strip
02:02and hold it with my index finger and seal the point in place.
02:08The first set of points that we're doing is called Shen Men.
02:11This point calms the mind.
02:12It's one of the most popular points in Chinese medicine.
02:15And then we're doing point zero, which is a nervous system reset.
02:19That's the point right in the middle of the ear.
02:22And this is a perfect point to get the nervous system reset.
02:26So we targeted the mind.
02:27Now we're targeting the nervous system.
02:29And then we're moving on to the hormone balancing point,
02:33which is the endocrine point.
02:34Everybody needs this point, men and women.
02:37It's a great way to regulate the endocrine system
02:40and help with balancing hormones.
02:43The next point we're doing is the brain point,
02:45which is another way of saying our happy point.
02:48It's really great with regulating the conversations in the mind
02:52and all the thoughts in the mind.
02:54So that's why we call it the happy point.
02:56And finally, we end off with the heart point.
02:59The heart directly helps everything communicate with each other.
03:02And all of these together do help with sleep, digestion, energy,
03:07and just overall processing of the body.
03:11I'll repeat the same points on the other ear as well,
03:14just to give a nice little boost to Charmi.
03:21All right, Charmi, you have your seeds in.
03:24You want to take a look?
03:25Yes, I do.
03:26Wow, they're like little baby diamonds in my ear.
03:30Yeah, little tiny gold studs.
03:32Yeah.
03:33They look really pretty.
03:34And if any of them are uncomfortable throughout the next few days,
03:37just feel comfortable to peel them off.
03:39Okay.
03:39You don't need to keep them on.
03:41Okay.
03:41If they're like bothering you.
03:43But try to keep in as many as you can.
03:44As many as possible.
03:45Okay.
03:46Yeah.
03:46And when I sleep, will they come off or anything?
03:48No.
03:48Okay, perfect.
03:50No, no, no.
03:50I'm so excited.
03:52So right now I feel super relaxed and calm,
03:56like after I've done like a yoga session or something like that.
03:59My ears feel stimulated.
04:01So I definitely feel the blood flow and they're like hot.
04:05Like I can definitely feel, I'm like aware of my ears.
04:08It looks really cute.
04:09Like it looks like piercings that I'd actually get on my ear.
04:13I feel like I'm going to be all blinged out walking around in Los Angeles.
04:18Because Charmique was talking about anxiety, depression, and OCD,
04:21these are very common issues that walk into the office.
04:24So we knew exactly how to target the points that she needed.
04:29Mona was so sweet.
04:30Her presence was so calming.
04:32Like once she came into the room, immediately I felt safe and comfortable.
04:36It's always super exciting to hear back from patients with their relief
04:39they're receiving from the ear seeds.
04:41You do feel insanely calm once you get them,
04:45but really seeing the results over the three to five day period
04:48is always exciting for us to hear.
04:50Now I know more about my body and know more about
04:53what my body can do to like self-heal.
04:56But also like I know that this is available.
04:59Like I didn't even know that this was an option before.
05:01And so the fact that I can like work with different points on my body
05:05to help my anxiety and depression and OCD,
05:08I just find that so incredible.
