Incorporating piercing care into your daily routine supports faster, more comfortable healing.

Rinse your ear with tepid water in the shower to soften debris and prevent buildup.
Spray the area twice daily with NeilMed Piercing Aftercare Mist for approximately 4–8 weeks.

Gently pat dry with a clean cotton pad or tip — or use a hairdryer on a cool setting. Always ensure the area is thoroughly dry before bed, and avoid sleeping with wet hair.

Healing is not just physical — it’s whole-body. As part of your Ear Alchemy aftercare, our approach extends beyond the piercing with guidance designed to support your body’s natural recovery process.

Developed by a qualified naturopath and aligned with professional piercing and healthcare standards, our protocol takes a whole-body approach to healing — helping to reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and support cartilage renewal.

Nourish for Recovery

Choose a diet low in refined sugar and processed carbohydrates, which contribute to systemic inflammation. Instead, focus on whole foods, ancient grains, and healthy fats — nutrients that support cellular repair and immune strength.

Incorporate healing-rich foods such as:

• Citrus fruits, leafy greens, green beans, nuts, and seeds — rich in vitamin C, zinc, iron, and silica
• Organic berries, pomegranate, flaxseed, spinach, and dark chocolate — saturated with polyphenols known to accelerate healing and improve cartilage health
  

Reset and Renew

Each piercing marks a moment — a reset in both style and self-care. Prioritise sleep and moments of stillness. Rest when needed. Even the act of slowing your breath can help regulate cortisol (the body’s stress hormone), support immunity, and encourage deeper healing.

A holistic approach ensures your piercing heals efficiently — it's integral to the elevated care that defines our high piercing experience.
