Resümee

In recent years, the incidence of obesity has been rapidly increasing, greatly elevating the incidence of hypertension, heart disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and other diseases. Reducing the incidence of obesity has become the focus of global concern. There is an urgent need to find effective and safe treatment method. More and more evidence support the efficacy of auricular acupoint therapy for obesity. It has the advantages of safety, effectiveness, convenience, and cheap. This article intends to discuss the research status of auricular acupoint therapy for obesity based on theoretical development, mechanism exploration, and technical innovation in order to promote the clinical application of auricular acupoint therapy for obesity. At present, with the help of multiple disciplines, inheriting and enriching the theoretical connotation of auricular point therapy for obesity, confirming its clinical effectiveness and safety, clarifying its effect mechanism in the treatment of obesity, and improving the traditional auricular acupoint therapy are feasible directions to promote auricular point therapy in the treatment of obesity, and it can make auricular point therapy have a broader application prospect.
