Accupressure

Acupressure and Acupuncture are some popular treatments in obesity now-a-days. As per the principles of these two therapies, there are some representative points for various organs of the body. These points control body organs and are located on palms and soles.

If we apply pressure on organ which is normal, we'll not feel any pain otherwise we'll. Thus a person is in his/her best health when he doesn't feel any pain when a certain body organ is pressed. This theory is very widely used in some pain relief solutions but there are various opinions on how it should be implemented in the treatment of obesity.

There are three important factors which we need to understand in the treatment of obesity. The basal metabolism rate in an obese is generally slow. This is the reason for the fat deposition of the excess food which is not burnt away. Some people believe that there is some digestion disorder that causes obesity. These problems can be overcome by accupressure.

Accupressure points in ear, palms, soles help reduce appetite. You need to apply pressure with a tip of thumb for about 20 sec. Reduce the pressure for about 20 sec.Continue doing this for 4 to 5 times. The pressure can be applied at any convinient timing in the day for palms, soles. But pressure to be applied on ears should be half an hour before meals.
