Acupressure For Eating Disorder Posted: 10-16-07 21:56pm
Perhaps the most aggravating condition
that people must suffer from in day to day
living is the inability to maintain
desirable body weight. Most of the time
overweight is a problem and dieting and
taking diet pills is the way of life for
millions. Using acupuncture sites is a
recent entry into this area and is
presently the subject of research. With
needles there has been an initial success
with some extremely difficult patients.
Using the technique of pressure
acupuncture also has proved promising in
my practice. Abdomen point 1 fig. 48 on
the left side overlies the stomach. It
must be pressed deeply. Massage is not
necessary.
Leg point 1 fig. 49 also can be used on
both legs or on one leg. If using two is
too cumbersome one works well enough. In
general, the way obesity points should be
utilized is at the time one feels hungry.
The must effective points should be
pressed for several minutes. The ones that
work best must be discovered for each
individual by himself by trial and it.
