Acupressure has long been used by thousands of people as an effective aide to tackling health issues including weight loss.
But now, instead of having to regularly visit a therapist to help you lose weight, you can take advantage of the benefits of acupressure yourself, 24-hours a day by using an ingenious new clinically tested acupressure device that attaches discretely to your ear.
SlenderBeads were developed by two medical doctors, a neurologist and a physical medicine specialist and combine ancient eastern medicines with modern neurological principles to suppress your appetite without drugs by applying pressure to specific acupressure points on the ear and stimulating the neurological reflexes that correspond with your appetite and metabolic rate.
SlenderBeads are deigned to be used for Auriculotherapy (ear acupuncture or acupressure) which is pressure applied to special points on the ear.
Auriculotherapy has been used for centuries in the East for treating many medical and pain conditions. Acupressure is very well suited to use on the ear’s pressure points since ear acupuncture needles can be difficult to retain and can be uncomfortable on the smaller and more delicate tissue of the ear.
SlenderBeads use auricular appetite suppression points on the Tragus which, in Western Medicine, is explained by causing reflex stimulation of the Vagus Nerve. This slows stomach emptying, increases feeling of fullness and lessens hunger. Initial clinical studies showed an average weight loss of 1-2 lbs per week when used properly for individuals motivated to lose weight.
SlenderBeads, which are made from pure titanium metal, are easy to apply and are attached to a clear plastic hypoallergenic adhesive strip which when stuck in the correct position on the ear lobe apply constant pressure to appropriate auricular pressure points.
For maximum effect, once in place you need to press or squeeze the beads against skin for 10-30 seconds 30 minutes before each meal and once during each meal to suppress hunger. Also press anytime during the day to suppress cravings.
Each box of SlenderBeads contains 10 acupressure strips, which can be worn permanently for up to three days. The pack also contains 10 alcoholic wipes for hygienic application of the strips and a full information booklet with clear, easy to follow instructions for use.
SlenderBeads are for external use only and should be used in conjunction with a balanced diet and regular exercise. Do not use over an area of eczema or broken skin. Keep out of reach of children due to chocking hazard. SlenderBeads should not be used while pregnant.
There are no side effects from the patches. The beads we use are made from an expensive metal called titanium which is totally hypoallergenic so there is no issue with allergies. If you press them too hard into the targus (the part of the ear they are placed) there can be some soreness. But otherwise no. They are perfectly side effect free.
The acubeads come with full diagrams, pictures and a leaflet giving you all the instructions for using them and explaining the history and theory behind them. They also come with alco wipes for cleaning the ear and a box to keep them safe in.
There is no reason why you cannot use them if you are a diabetic. Obviously you must take responsibility to monitor your blood glucose levels and manage your condition in the normal manner.
The Slenderbeads are not worn on the actual ear lobe so for most ear rings they should be fine. They are made from a clear material so they are not very obvious unless you point them out to people. But seen up close they are visible.
They can take a bit of moisture and will remain in place. But they are not as robust as a normal waterproof plaster. So I would try and be a bit careful with them. The other option is to peel them off before your shower and replace them afterwards.
