One of the main reasons of weight gain is binging; i.e. over eating, most of the times. This results in increased levels of stress, anxiety and frustrations. Acupuncture can be quite effective for losing excess weight in the body.

Once, these points are chosen, the needles are inserted to these points. These inserted needles are supposed to stay in position for about half an hour to forty minutes each session and then removed.

Acupuncture points in the ear are usually replaced with ear tacks or ear staples. Thereafter, an adhesive is secured over these. Usually, the ear tacks or ear staples are placed exactly where the needle was. These should continue with treatment in between sessions.

Whenever the patient gets food cravings in between the meals or without any reason, mild pressure is applied on the ear staples via rubbing them alternatively back forth for about twenty seconds. This ultimately results in the release of mild endorphin, thereby relaxing the patients to gain control over the food craving.

The endorphin hormone tends to design a conducive psychological and physiological environment in order to overcome any sort of temptations to eat unnecessarily. The ear tacks are removed after three days. The frequency of the acupuncture weight loss treatment depends on the patient’s goals. In order to lose weight in a short span of time, the treatment needs to be taken in a good frequency.
