Hug your bird stomach and massage your ear points to get rid of your appetite

The small stomach of your dreams only lasts for the first date. You always see slim girls eating less, but you have to eat until your belt pops open? Chinese medicine practitioners point out that hyperphagia may be caused by dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach, accompanied by thirst and a love of cold drinks, and bloating and discomfort after every big meal. If you want to reduce appetite and control calorie intake, it is very simple. You can massage the "Er Shen Men" and "Hunger Point" acupoints on the ears more often.

Are you someone who likes spicy, grilled, fried and other stimulating foods? Especially when you are busy at work and have irregular meals, but every time you get off work for dinner, your appetite suddenly increases, and you may even have a midnight snack. Even if you take time out to exercise every week, you still eat more than you consume, making it impossible for you to lose weight successfully.

Chinese medicine practitioner Zhang Wenxin mentioned that Chinese medicine believes that people with a big appetite often have damp heat in the spleen and stomach, and "a hot stomach will digest food." The more you eat grilled or fried food, the easier it is to get hungry and eat more. Coupled with high work pressure and unstable emotions, you end up eating more uncontrolled, and naturally you become obese. If you want to lose weight successfully, it is recommended that you find a professional Chinese medicine practitioner who can regulate the functions of the internal organs according to your physical condition, eliminate the phlegm and blood stasis that cause obesity, and combine it with ear acupoint treatment to suppress appetite.

Double ear acupuncture points help reduce appetite

Dr. Zhang Wenxin pointed out that Chinese medicine believes that the ear is not a separate, isolated auditory organ, but a small whole that is closely connected to the meridians and internal organs. Stimulating the "Ear Gate" and "Hunger Point" acupoints can help regulate the brain's emotions and the satiety center of the hypothalamus, thereby stabilizing emotions and suppressing appetite.

[Hunger point] : The midpoint of the line connecting the external nose and the adrenal glands, which can control food intake and reduce hunger. Suitable for the treatment of obesity, hyperthyroidism, etc.

[Er Shen Men] : In the triangular fossa, slightly above the bifurcation of the upper and lower crus of the antihelix. It has sedative, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects and is used to treat pain, inflammation, and emotional instability and irritability.

Dr. Zhang Wenxin added that clinically, the vast majority of patients would cooperate with ear acupuncture, ear beans or ear beads treatment once a week to achieve the desired effect. You can also press it with your fingers at home 30 minutes before meals, or before you want to eat something. Press for 3 minutes or 30 times respectively. It can also help you regain your appetite, reduce your appetite and reduce calorie intake.
