Tiny Crystals, Big Energy: Moon Rabbit’s Rainbow Ear Seeding Kit Honors Pride with Healing & Sparkle
By Atiya Dasté
Happy Pride Month! This June, REFINE had the absolute pleasure of collaborating with Moon Rabbit Acupuncture to try out their Rainbow Ear Seeding Kit—a beautiful fusion of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pride-inspired celebration. We also spoke with founder Gudrun Snyder to learn more about the practice of ear seeding, its benefits, and how this glittering kit invites healing, self-expression, and inclusivity into everyday wellness. Whether you’re new to ear seeding or looking to deepen your self-care rituals, this guide walks you through everything you need to know.
The Brand & Inspiration:
1. What inspired you to create the Rainbow Swarovski Ear Seeding Kit, and how does it connect to Moon Rabbit’s overall mission?
We designed the Rainbow Ear Seeding Kit to marry the timeless healing of Traditional Chinese Medicine with vibrant celebration—especially meaningful during Pride Month. Each kit includes 40 Swarovski crystal ear seeds, medical-grade adhesive, rose-gold tweezers, and an easy how-to guide—all in a reusable pouch. This aligns seamlessly with Moon Rabbit’s mission: accessible, sustainable wellness with a touch of elegance. At the heart of our brand is a commitment to celebrating individuality, and the rainbow kit honors that beautifully—offering a joyful way for people to express who they are while caring for themselves. We handcraft our kits in small batches to reduce waste, reinforcing our commitment to mindful, eco-conscious self-care.
2. Can you share what Pride means to you personally or to the Moon Rabbit team?
Pride is a time to uplift and affirm every identity, love, and journey. For us at Moon Rabbit—many identifying as LGBTQ+ or as allies—it’s a celebration of authenticity, resilience, and belonging. Pride reminds us that caring for yourself includes honoring who you are, and our Rainbow kit is a small gesture of solidarity, beauty, and empowerment.
Wellness & Identity:
3. Ear seeding is such a unique blend of tradition and modern wellness—how do you explain the practice to someone completely new to it?
Think of ear seeding as acupuncture without needles: tiny seeds or gold beads are placed on specific ear acupressure points to gently stimulate healing pathways. Inspired by traditional auriculotherapy, clients often experience better stress relief, improved digestion, pain reduction, or more restful sleep—all without any invasive treatment.
4. How can tools like ear seeding be part of a meaningful self-care ritual, especially during a reflective month like Pride?
Ear seeding invites mindful moments: placing seeds with intention, gently tapping them throughout the day, and honoring yourself with ongoing care. In Pride, when many of us reflect on identity, belonging, and resilience, integrating ear seeding can help center the mind, soothe the spirit, and reinforce self-compassion.
5. The kit is both subtle and sparkly—how do you see the relationship between adornment and healing?
Adornment carries meaning—when something feels beautiful, gentle shifts in mood occur. Our Swarovski seeds act as tiny reminders of value and beauty, making the healing process feel luxurious, confident, and emotionally uplifting. Healing doesn’t have to be clinical—it can be fun, festive, and functional. That is the Moon Rabbit way. These seeds are more than just wellness tools; they’re tiny celebrations of self-expression.
Accessibility & Community:
6. One thing we love is how accessible this kit makes acupuncture-inspired healing—was that intentional?
Absolutely. Our goal was to make the ancient practice of auriculotherapy more approachable and inclusive—no needles, no appointments. Each kit is thoughtfully compiled with everything you need: easy-to-follow instructions, tweezers, and a travel-friendly pouch. It’s wellness you can wear daily, anywhere.
7. How do you hope LGBTQ+ folks, especially younger people, feel when using this kit?
We hope they feel seen, supported, and celebrated. The rainbow crystals aren’t just decorative—they mark a form of self-love and acknowledgment of identity. We want younger LGBTQ+ folks to feel that embracing wellness can be vibrant, affirming, and unapologetically joyful. Wellness is for everyone, and this kit is a reminder that healing and self-care should reflect who you are and make you feel good in your own skin.

Just for Fun:
8. What’s your favorite pressure point to seed and why?
Our favorite is the Shen Men point (on the upper central ear). It’s renowned for reducing anxiety and promoting calm—perfect for moments when mental clarity and heart-centered balance are essential.
9. If you could describe Moon Rabbit’s energy in three words, what would they be?
Serene. Supportive. Sparkling.
Wellness is for everyone—and it can be radiant, rooted, and radically affirming. Here’s to healing that looks like you. I absolutely can’t wait to wear these for PRIDE! 🌈
