Ear Acupuncture for Weight Loss is gaining increasing popularity with both the public and the media as a method of weight control. And it’s no surprise considering that the Department of General Practice, University of Adelaide, South Australia conducted a study that showed that 95% of people who received Ear Acupuncture for Weight Loss felt a significant reduction in their appetite.

According to the results published by Richards D, and Marley J. in the Australian Family Physician. 1998 Jul;27 Suppl 2:S73-7.

RESULTS: Of those who responded, 95% of the active group noticed suppression of appetite, whereas none of the control group noticed such a change. None of the control group lost the required 2 kg, with only 4 subjects losing any weight at all. Both the number of subjects who lost weight and the mean weight loss were significantly higher in the active group. CONCLUSION: Frequent stimulation of specific auricular acupuncture points is an effective method of appetite suppression which leads to weight loss.

The points used in the trial were those corresponding to the Stomach and Spleen, and those used to suppress appetite. I discuss the importance of the Stomach and Spleen and how the relate to weight loss in more detail in my article - Acupuncture for Weight Loss.
