Acupuncture points on the ears have been found to be particularly effective for weight loss. The human ear has been described as a micro-system of the body in an inverted fetal position; it contains points relating to all major organs and body parts.
 
Auricular points for weight loss are stimulated with small tacks during treatment. Then seed-sized beads or magnets are taped to the points to enhance the effectiveness of the points at home. The beads will generally stay in place for 3 days to a week and can be gently massaged for 10-second intervals if cravings occur.

Here are some of the most commonly used auricular points:

  • Shenmen: Important point for calming the mind and reducing stress

  • Small Intestine: Reinforces spleen, promotes digestion.

  • Mouth: Calming point used for smoking, over eating and hyperactive talking.

  • Hunger Point: Used to relieve hunger and control compulsive eating

  • Endocrine point: Moves liver Qi and aids in the function of the metabolism
