subject: Acupressure Beads For Weight Loss - Weight Loss Acupoints [print this page] Have you heard of the use of acupressure beads for weight loss? But first, what is acupressure?
Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body's natural self-curative abilities. Pressing these points will release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood as well as the bodys life force to aid healing. Although acupuncture and acupressure use the same points of the body, the difference between these two methods is that acupuncture uses needles and acupressure uses the gentle but firm pressure of hands.
Now, the ear is said to contain over a hundred acupuncture points including the ones that govern the vital organs and functions in the body. Tapping these points, especially the areas that govern weight loss and fat burn, can speed up ones metabolism and help achieve rapid weight loss without dieting or exercising. Another point in the ear is called the appetite control ear point, which can help you avoid overeating. In order to locate this point, place your fingers on your jaw in front of your ears, Open and close your mouth a few times until you feel your jaw bone moving underneath your fingers. Place one finger where you feel the most movement, grab this part which is usually next to the fleshy protrusion of your ear with your thumb and index finger, and press on it.
This is the basis of the acupressure bead, which is a modern invention using the principles of acupuncture and acupressure. The bead is placed behind the ear, remains tucked behind the ear lobe throughout the day while it applies gentle painless pressure on the ear points that will signal weight loss.
