Auricular acupuncture for food addiction

[vobStelemobeF]

Since having her baby a year ago, my best friend has become addicted to food, literally eating everything she can find, and she has increased from a size 14 to a size 22 in one year. I dont think that it helps that she is feeling down, and on anti-depressants, but she really wants to stem her cravings. Can auricular acupuncture be used for this in the same way it is used for any other type of addiction?

Many thanks for your input, I really just want to help her

Hi
Yes,you can treat using eating disorders with auricular acupuncture. But your friend also has to go to the treatment with a positive attitudesaying to herself I am not going to be addicted for food.I am only familiar with the french school and we definetly treating eating disorders. It may also be necessary for your friend to have some longer duration needles in the ear to stop the craving. Try out Three treatments first every two weeks and see how you get on.
