A simple acupuncture technique could reduce food cravings and lower body-mass index, according to Japanese researchers.
Acupuncture on the outer ear has been shown to reduce weight, ease food cravings and lowerBut the acupuncture technique used in this study doesn’t require needles — instead, small metal beads are attached to the outer ear with surgical tape.
“Since these tiny metal beads are attached to six points on the outer ear that stimulate nerves and organs which regulate appetite … this type of acupuncture does not require complex knowledge or skill,” said Dr. Takahiro Fujimoto from Clinic F in Tokyo in a news release.The study, presented at themeeting in Dublin, Ireland, followed 81 men who were overweight or obese for three months.
“Our findings suggest that acupuncture on the ear may aid weight loss when paired with diet and exercise,” said Dr. Fujimoto. “It’s likely that acupuncture has a positive effect by curbing cravings and appetite, improving digestion, and boosting metabolism.” Exactly how this acupuncture method works isn’t known, but the technique is based on the belief that health is regulated by the flow of energy throughout the body. Ear acupuncture may help to balance the endocrine system, reduce food cravings and moderate the body’s rate of metabolism.
