How Weight Loss Magnets Work
Weight loss magnets are very small magnets you wear on the ear lobe. Based on Chinese acupressure point therapy, the magnets help to control your appetite by stimulating the Shen Men and the Master Sensorial points. Stimulating the points of the ear is know as auricular therapy.
Stimulating acupressure points activates the production of endorphins. Endorphins are natural chemicals produced in the brain that cultivate feelings of relaxation and pleasure.
Since overeating is often caused by stress and unhappiness, more endorphins in the body help prevent overeating especially binge eating.
The magnets are held in place with an adhesive tape or glue. They are left on the ear for days to weeks as allowed by the body's natural waxes and oils.
Due to the anti-addiction effect of stimulating the Shen Men and the Master Sensorial points, the weight loss magnets are also used to reduce the urge to smoke.
Shen Men Point
Known as the heavenly gate, the Shen Men acupressure point is considered in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to be one of the most important points on the body. It is used when the patient needs calming. Stimulating the Shen Men point has a sedating effect and is thought to ground the patient's spirit. It also governs and eases pain in the heart.
Shen Men stimulation has been shown effect in treating addiction, weakness of willpower, chronic anxiety and attention deficit disorder in children.
Master Sensorial Point
The Master Sensorial point is associated with the appetite, stomach and small intestines. Stimulation causes a calming sensation and is used on patients suffering from anxiety, worry, depression, sadness, excess fatigue and vertigo.
Treatment on the point has been show effect in treating alcohol and drug addiction and to reduce unpleasant, excessive or distorted sensations in the body.
