Ear stapling to lose weight

Ear stapling, a more extreme form of auricular acupuncture, has become all the rage for weight loss in recent years. Practitioners are charging $150+ to staple a patient's ear—the staple is supposed to cause constant stimulation to an area of the ear that curbs appetite. Many people are trying this technique as an alternative to more drastic weight loss measures, but are they seeing results? Yes and no. The reality is, ear stapling is no more effective than anything else, in fact, it isn't any more effective than placebo.

So why do it? Well, most people are doing it because they have tried everything and don't know what else to do.

Classical True Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine does not offer ear stapling as we do not think that this may be the most effective approach to understanding the whole system and why each person may hold onto weight in the manner that he/she does. If ear stapling is something you still want to try, we can recommend someone who performs ear stapling in a sterile and clean manner.  Please give us a call.

Is there hope to manage your weight?

Yes, acupuncture and herbs can help stimulate digestion, metabolism, and re-balance your systems as a whole to assist you in your efforts to lose those unwanted pounds in a safe, natural, and easy way.

How can Acupuncture N Herbs help?

First, our style of Classical True Acupuncture brings your systems back into a natural homeostatic balance. Because we use the radial pulses in a very specific way, we can more effectively diagnose your core constitutional imbalances that support your weight gain. This will help revive your health and you will feel more energetic and ready to do those healthy things necessary to have a fully healthy life.

Secondly, if needed, our high quality raw Chinese herbs are utilized to stimulate functions that will help you drop pounds. However, unlike the improper use of herbs that have been taking place for weight loss, we customize a formula that will help re-establish your constitutional balance and will not over stimulate you just to drop a few pounds, which ultimately causes potential health problems.

We realize that weight control can be a daunting task and we are here to help make it a manageable endeavor and one that you can achieve without the yo-yo dieting, surgeries and ear staples. Give us a call to see how we can help you.
