đ @kamwoherbs and đ @yinovacenter are my top choices for ear seeds if you want to try them. Why?
Because you should use trusted TCM brands for ear seeds, gua sha, cupping, or anything TCM related, I donât go by who has the most press or the best marketing.
I go by:
1ïžâŁÂ Who has been around for a long time with long history of expertise
2ïžâŁÂ Who is founded and run by TCM practitioners
3ïžâŁÂ Who can provide safe, proper customer support if you experience undesired effects from TCM tools
Please note: people who talk about TCM on social media are not necessarily trained, licensed, and experienced practitioners.
Using TCM tools can sometimes bring up side effects or unexpected symptoms. Thatâs okay - as long as you have a properly trained TCM resource to turn to for support. When you choose a TCM founder-led brand or shop, they can guide you safely and appropriately if something comes up.
đ«¶Â @kamwoherbs Kamwo Herbs is founded and run by a family of TCM practitioners going back generations. They are the go-to herbal pharmacy and TCM resource for practitioners and patients nationwide, based in Chinatown NYC.
đ«¶Â @yinovacenter Yinova Center was founded by a pair of TCM practitioner partners and has been around for about two decades. They specialize in womenâs health and fertility and have a clear commitment to excellence in how they practice and deliver TCM.
These companies are solid sources of real TCM. They may not have sleek, modern branding on a pack of ear seeds, but thatâs not what you should be looking for. Look for trusted brands committed to TCM excellence.
đ©How to recognize a legit acupuncturist or TCM practitioner. Look for credentials after the name: L.Ac. or D.Ac. (in the US). Look for a bio that clearly states which accredited TCM college they graduated from. Mentions of taking classes or training seminars *alone do not make someone a true TCM practitioner.
