5 Pressure Points to Control Feelings of Hunger

Alternative medicine practitioners use pressure points to improve the flow of energy throughout the body, which can help heal various problems and pains. While pressure points are commonly known for reducing pressure and curing pain, they can also be used to decrease appetite and hunger. To control the feeling of hunger effectively, massage the following five pressure points with light pressure for the recommended time. Consistent daily practice will help you feel the change within the first week, making it easier to maintain your weight and overall health.
 

1. Pressure point in the ear

This is one of the main points that will help you control the feeling of hunger. Press with your thumb on the marked point on the face, slightly in front of the triangular cartilage part next to the auditory canal of the ear. Open and close the jaw to find the exact point where the greatest movement occurs, and press on it for 1-3 minutes, twice a day

2. Pressure point on the upper lip

The next point you want to massage to control the sensation of appetite is between the upper lip and the nose, in the center of the face. Press it for 1-5 minutes twice a day, and in addition to reducing the feeling of hunger, it will also help you relieve anxiety and stress.
 

3. Pressure point on the knee

Pressing on a specific point on the outer side of your leg, located 5 cm below the kneecap, can improve digestion and alleviate menstrual discomfort. Apply pressure with your index finger on both feet for two minutes daily. Another pressure point, located about a thumb's distance from the elbow joint on the outside of the forearm, when pressed with your thumb for one minute daily, can control hunger, release heat from the body, stimulate intestinal functions, and prevent fluid accumulation.

4. Pressure point on your elbow

5. Pressure point on your ankle

To locate a certain point on the inside of your leg, place your hand just above the ankle and move it 5 fingers towards the knee. Use your thumb to apply pressure on this point for a minute each day, and then release the pressure slowly. Repeat this process on the other leg. However, if you are pregnant, it is not recommended to use this pressure point.
 
By following these instructions regularly, you may notice changes in your body and feelings within a week.
