Obesity is a health problem that affects millions of people. Failures in treatment disappoint both the patient and the doctor. Body weight is determined by the balance between calories from food and drink and calories expended from daily activities. The most common causes of obesity are overeating, lack of physical activity and a sedentary lifestyle or both. Other factors are genetic metabolic conditions that do not respond to conventional and complementary therapies. Depression, anxiety and boredom push people to overeat. Aging and menopause are important factors that affect metabolism and activity levels. Decreases in growth and thyroid hormones affect metabolism and may accelerate weight gain. Many people may have hypotrichosis, even with normal laboratory values.
Weight gain after smoking cessation is the result of loss of nicotine effect, it has an appetite stimulant feature. Antidepressants and corticosteroids can also lead to weight gain. Trauma also hinders active life. A diet high in fat and simple carbohydrates may be the most important factor in obesity.
Obesity-related complications;
• Hypertension
• Coronary vascular disease
• Hypercholesterolemia
• Cholelithiasis
• Diabetes
• Stroke
• Osteoarthritis
• Sleep apnea
Colon, breast, uterus and prostate cancers are more common in obese patients. These complications are related to etiological factors and environmental stresses as well as obesity itself. Thus, with auricilar medecine, we can identify the etiological factors that play a role in the obesity of the person.
Obesity treatment is to treat the etiological cause rather than the symptoms. Our main goal is to ensure that the person consumes less calories when they spend, to provide adequate exercise and activity, and behavioral therapies. Primarily, patient evaluation with auricultherapy and auriculomedecine includes medical history, physical examination, and appropriate laboratory investigations. In the ear examination, representative regions suitable for etiological reasons are searched in zones that also match the stage of the disease.
. The effect provided in the treatment of obesity with acupuncture; It affects appetite, intestinal motility and metabolism as well as emotional factors such as stress. It increases neural activity in the saturation center of the ventromedial nucleus in the hypothalamus. It increases the tone in the stomach muscles, enkephalin, beta endorphin and serotonin levels in the plasma and brain.
Acupuncture stimulates the auricular branch of the vagal nerve and raises the level of serotonin. These effects have shown that it increases gastric smooth muscle tone and thus suppresses appetite. Among other effects, serotonin increases bowel movements, and stress and depression are controlled with the increase of endorphins and dopamine. Increasing beta endorphins after acupuncture application cause weight loss by showing a lipolytic effect on fat stores.
. With advanced auricular acupuncture and auriculomedecine, colored filters and a pulse diagnosis, which we call VAS, the underlying etiological causes of obesity are determined and their treatment is arranged. For example, it not only prevents thyroid gland insufficiency, but also increases hormone production. Thus, the cause of the treatment is reached. Subclinical symptoms of the gland may be caused by fungi or parasites. With such a simple treatment, including obesity will regress. Similarly, the treatment of menopause is to use the 3rd phase points related to estrogen production. In addition, metal toxicity determined by VAS and filters can be detected as a cause of depression.
. The treatment is determined by detailed ear examination and treatment, once a week until the desired weight is reached, then 6 months
protection is planned.
