What is ear stapling?
Ear stapling has been around for over 20 years and is fast
becoming one of the most sought after methods for weight loss and
smoking cessation. A small surgical stainless steel staple is
strategically placed in the inner cartilage of the ear to target
certain acupuncture points.
The average weight
loss is 2-3 pounds per week and varies from person to person. The
staples will last approximately 3-4 months. The points stapled
work together to reduce your overall appetite, sugar cravings,
tension, stress and headaches. The ear staple we place for smoking
cessation greatly reduces your cravings and makes you reject the
smell and taste of cigarette smoke.
Acupuncturists familiar with all the points on the ear prefer
using a point locator to be more precise locating the point they
use.
How Does the Staple Work?
The staple works by applying pressure to the acupuncture points in
the ear. It sends a signal to the brain that you are satisfied and
eliminates cravings for food, sugar, and tobacco.
Does It Hurt?
It is compared to having your ears pierced. Some say that it hurts
for a few minutes and then subsides, and others say it does not
hurt at all. Once again, each person is different in how
they respond to the staple.
What Are The Risks?
With proper care of the staples there are limited risks
involved. As with any piercing there is a risk of infection
associated with it, even if sterile technique is followed
scrupulously. Bacteria is almost always the culprit from contact
during aftercare, typically not from the procedure itself. Good
hand washing is first and foremost in the prevention of infection
in any wound care.
Beware!
The people who are teaching others to do ear stapling (and
getting paid $3000 for it) are now teaching people who have no
medical background!! Please go for ear stapling to people who know
the risks involved and how to best avoid problems! Ask before you
let non-medical people do procedures on your body! Get backgrounds
on them. The best qualified persons to use an acupuncture based
system are the full trained acupuncturists!
What Is the Average Weight Loss?
For women, 2-3 pounds a week and men 5 pounds a week. Those who
are serious and add a healthy diet and exercise to their regimen
may see much greater results. Experience shows up to an 85-90%
success rate with weight loss and 80% for smoking.
