| Energetics 1 |
| Relieves eating disorders, overeating, poor appetite, diarrhea, indigestion, nausea, vomiting, stomach ulcers, gastritis, and stomach cancer. It also alleviates toothaches, headaches, and stress. It is the most commonly used auricular point for appetite control and weight reduction. However, treating this ear point only diminishes the physiological craving for food when one is on a diet plan. It does not override one’s will. If there is not a conscientious effort to reduce food intake and increase physical exercise, the Stomach point on the ear is insufficient to reduce obesity. [37] |
