Technique that applies needles at specific points in the ear helps to control appetite. A major difficulty for those who make dieting is to control anxiety. Approximately 70% of people suffering from obesity end up consuming more calories than their metabolism demands, not following the diet and eating unhealthy foods (fried foods, sweets and sodas, among other unhealthy snacks, especially if eaten in excess) .

This happens because of the anxiety that leads to binge eating. Acupuncture, the ancient Chinese art, can be a great alternative for those seeking weight loss and health. It acts in the body, breaking the cycle of weight gain and regulating the desire to eat.

Controlling the urge to eat is not the same as controlling hunger. We feel hungry due to the need to keep the body healthy. The function of the treatment is to control the appetite. The small needles used in acupuncture treatment are thinner than a human hair. They act in the intestinal system, metabolism through education and extinguishing the problems of constipation; very common in overweight people.

In the weight-loss treatment, needles are applied on the ears, in particular points (a technique called auriculopunture). In the ear lobes are specific points that help control the urge to eat. By stimulating these points, it is possible to control the appetite, treat binge eating and anxiety and also restructure the digestive, intestinal and urinary tracts. Weight loss does not occur quickly.

Acupuncture stimulates a slow weight loss, thereby avoiding the unwanted weight cycling (the person loses weight for a while, but soon recovers the lost pounds). Through nutritional education, treatment effects are permanent. It is important to note that acupuncture helps with weight loss, but to maintain the weight loss depends on the dedication of each person. For faster results and effective, treatment should be added to the practice of physical exercise and a balanced diet.
