It is one of the natural therapies that are widely used for fat loss.
Most common used pressure points are spleen 6 or Sp 6, stomach 36 or St 36 and for large intestine 11 or Li 11. These points help in weight loss and control appetite. The appetite control points are located behind the ears, just at the point where the lobes connect with the ear.
Acupressure should be done before a meal to suppress the huge appetite that obese people often have. The treatment involves pressing and releasing of these points on a continuous process. Experts have recognized that this treatment can be used in dealing with obesity by targeting one’s appetite, digestion, and metabolism. Through specific pressure points, it is believed that acupressure can get rid of negative emotions which are highly correlated with unhealthy eating. By eliminating this harmful inclination toward unconstructive feelings, the person suffering from such condition can discover a healthier relationship with food.
