Acupressure is an alternative therapy that stimulates healing and well-being by applying pressure to specific body spots.
Acupressure can promote weight loss by improving health and reducing stress, but it should not be used alone.
A nutritious diet, regular exercise, enough sleep, and lifestyle changes help lose weight. If you want to try acupressure, these four points may help you lose weight:
A little pointed prominence of the external ear is the tragus. Press this point for 3-5 minutes several times a day. Some think activating this area controls hunger and desires.
SP6 is three finger-widths above the ankle bone on the inside of the leg. Press this spot gently but firmly for 2-3 minutes many times a day. It regulates spleen and stomach meridians to assist digestion and weight loss.
ST36 is four finger-widths below the kneecap and one finger-width outside the shinbone on the outside of the leg. Press this point moderately for 2-3 minutes several times a day. It may enhance metabolism and energy, facilitating weight loss.
LI4 is in the thumb-index finger webbing on the back of the hand. Press on this point for 2-3 minutes several times a day. It may aid detoxification and desire reduction.
Acupressure can relax and help lose weight, but it should be used in conjunction with other evidence-based methods. Acupressure may also work differently for different people.
