There are several acupressure points on the earlobe that control taste and appetite. The upper palate acupressure point is located in the center of the earlobe about 1.25 centimeters from the bottom of the earlobe. The lower palate acupressure point is located about 1.00 centimeters above that point. Halfway between these two points is the tongue acupressure point that bears sensory organs and small glands that function especially in the taking of food.
By applying pressure to these points on the earlobe, the appetite can be suppressed. This method of appetite control is very popular with the Asians.The earrings, in effect, apply constant pressure to the earlobe because of the magnetic attraction and force being exerted by the magnets placed on either side of the earlobe.... thus the pressure is created to suppress the appetite.
Another important acupressure point on the earlobe is the Neurogate Point which is commonly used to suppress the body's desire for smoking. This point also serves as a Substance Abuse Control point for people who are dependent on Tranquilizers, Antidepressants, Alcohol, Marijuana, Cocaine, etc. Negligible withdrawal symptoms are noticed under this method of Acupressure control.
