According to traditional medicine, obesity belongs to the scope of “phlegm and dampness”, that is, “the spleen and stomach are weak, phlegm and dampness stop inside”, because of the dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, lipid, phlegm and dampness gather inside, water and fluid metabolism is not adjusted properly, so that edema and obese appearance appear.
In addition, some people are prone to edema, also with menstrual disorders, or stress, emotional instability and to eat to ease the mood, due to overeating and thus lead to obesity, and some people because of peptic ulcers and must eat a small number of meals, but do not exercise, and therefore weight straight up.

Ear acupuncture → appetite suppression
As for ear acupuncture, Zhang Jiabei said that there are many acupuncture points on the auricle, and using ear acupuncture can stimulate the hunger point, Shen Men, stomach point and endocrine points, which can also suppress the appetite to avoid overeating, especially the magnetic beads that stimulate the ear acupuncture points are more effective than traditional ear acupuncture. Even if you don’t use ear acupuncture, you can still suppress your appetite more or less by massaging localized acupuncture points with acupressure before meals.
Acupuncture point buried thread → adjust metabolism
Lin Yanjun also said that the principle of acupuncture is similar to that of acupuncture, in which magnetized sheep intestine thread is pierced into acupuncture points with needles, targeting specific acupuncture points such as the Foot Sanli point, the Sanyinjiao point and the Feng Shi point for continuous stimulation, which can also adjust the metabolism and promote the normalization of the endocrine effect of weight loss.
Acupuncture → Accelerate fat decomposition
It is worth mentioning that some people are not fat in appearance, but because they sit at the desk for a long time and do not exercise much, resulting in a slightly convex belly or thick hips, or housewives work hard at home and often hold children, resulting in the gradual emergence of butterfly sleeves on the upper arms, such local obesity problems, there have been a number of studies to confirm that acupuncture can target the fatty areas to eliminate fat accumulation and accelerate fat decomposition.
