What Auricular Points Help Weight Loss?
Auricular is a microsystem of acupuncture in which the ears are used to treat health conditions that exist elsewhere in the body. Auricular acupuncture was developed in 1957 by French physician, Paul Nogier. Dr. Nogier created the concept that a map of the human body correlates with an illustration of an inverted fetus over the ear. After Nogier’s concepts were published in a medical journal, his theory soon spread through Japan and China and eventually made their way into the United States. Although studies have since been conducted to verify the efficacy of auricular acupuncture, and stimulating specific auricular points may help with weight loss, there is insufficient evidence to support these claims. Consult with a licensed acupuncturist prior to using auricular for weight loss.
