I've tried acupuncture for weight loss and ya I had it in my ear lol. I didn't find it hurt...it just sorta felt really weird, a sensation that's really quite hard to describe. I'm sorry to say I didn't find it all that effective though. What I did find beneficial was discussing my overeating issues and patterns during my consultation with the acupuncturist. The reason is, it really helped me to see exactly how I was overeating in ways that I never realized. It's amazing what you learn about yourself and your habits when you have to discuss them with someone else. Anyway, sorry, I'm getting off topic. You need to discuss your overeating with the acupuncturist so they know which form of treatment would be best - in other words - they have to know what points on your body need to be targeted to help you find appetite control. I didn't have any electro stimulation applied though. If you decide to choose this natural weight loss method, keep in mind that it still require a major lifestyle change which may include ntutiritional counseling and Chinese herbal supplements.

That's awesome, TracyK. Your Acupuncturist should give up poking and prodding people with needles and give them health and weight loss advice instead haha. How many times have you had acupuncture? Does it hurt the first time you do it? The needles look like they're a couple of inches long sometimes!

Acupuncture can be very healing and effective for the body and I have heard good things from people who have tried it for weight loss. What I would recommend is that if you are really interested in trying this, please make sure you choose an experienced and licensed acupuncturist, particularly one who is familiar with performing this type of traditional chinese medicine for weight loss. I had a friend who went to some quack and she ended up with more pain than she had before she started acupuncture.
