Weight loss magnets are applied to your ears at one of four acupuncture points. Those who practice magnet therapy for weight loss believe stimulating these points helps suppress appetite and improve digestive function. The Federal Trade Commission warns that there's no evidence to support claims that magnets work and that using them could cause people to delay using treatment methods that do work. If you decide to try magnets for weight loss, be sure to pair them with proven methods like exercise and healthy eating.
Step 1
Visit an acupuncturist or reflexology expert to help identify the points in your ear which are said to improve weight loss when stimulated.
Step 2
Apply two to four magnets to different acupuncture points in each ear. Don't use more than four magnets per day.
Step 3
Leave the magnets in place for 30 to 60 minutes, recommends Ear Reflexology.
Step 4
Repeat the treatment daily for six weeks, then stop treatment for six weeks.
Step 5
Complete as many cycles of six weeks on, two weeks off, as necessary, to achieve your goals.
