In our eat-and-run, massive-portion-sized culture, maintaining a healthy weight can be tough and losing weight, even tougher. Fortunately, auricular acupuncture comes to the rescue,.
The stimulation of specific points on the pinna of the ear affects the eating behavior of overweight patients, as follows:
Appropriate points in the ear are selected by the acupuncture specialist and stimulated with tiny semi-permanent needles. The treatment is performed once per week for a month, every 15 days for the next 2 months and once a month for the next six months until the desired weight is established.
One day before the scheduled appointment, the patient removes the stickers and new needles are placed on the same or on a different point, depending on the efficacy of the method and the patients' needs, during the consultation.
It is important to note that ear acupuncture treatments must be administered by a qualified medical doctor and acupuncture specialist. For the best results, these treatments should be combined with a reduced calorie diet and appropriate physical exercise. Acupuncture should be viewed as a support system not a sole modality.
