A study published in the American Journal of Chinese Medicine titled “Effects of Auricular Acupressure on Weight Reduction and Abdominal Obesity in Asian Young Adults” demonstrated promising results. The research provides additional evidence that ear seeds can have a positive impact on your weight loss efforts.
The study tested the efficacy of weekly auricular acupressure sessions on weight reduction and changes in waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio. The participants were young Asian adults with a waist circumference ≥80cm in females and ≥90cm in the males. The individuals ranged in age from 18- to 20-years-old.
The control group solely received ear acupressure, while the experimental group received acupressure using Japanese magnetic pearls, similar to ear seeds, on specific points on the outside of the ear. Both groups showed significant reduction in body weight and waist circumference after eight weeks. However, the magnetic pearl group also showed a decrease in waist-to-hip ratio.
The study’s authors stated, “Auricular acupressure may be a beneficial addition to weight loss programs” and a, “reasonable option in the treatment of overweight and obesity in young adults.”
