AcuSlim

AcuSlim combines the ancient practice of acupuncture with 20th Centenary technology to offer safe, natural and effective weight loss.
 
Acupuncture has proven itself to be an effective form of treatment, for a multitude of ailments including weight control.
 
Developed by an Australian research team, AcuSlim has revolutionised the way to lose and control weight by stimualting specified receptive regions or acupuncture points on the ear with controlled micro-current pulses. AcuSlim allows you to conveniently enjoy all the benefits of acupuncture treatment for weight control without the use of needles.
 
Many overweight people experience difficulty in suppressing their appetite. Acupuncture may suppress appetite by controlling stress and depression via endorphin production by stimulating the Shenmen point on the ear. AcuSlim also stimulates the auricular branch of the vagal nerve and raises serotonin levels (deficient in the obese), both of which have been shown to increase tone in the smooth muscle of the stomach, thus suppressing appetite.
 
The effectiveness of the AcuSlim has been comfirmed by a published University study. This double blind trials have shown of those who responded, 95% of the active group noticed suppression of appetite, whereas none of the control group noticed such a change. None of the control group lost the required 2kg whereas 93% of the active group lost an average 3 kg in the first 4 weeks, then continued to goal weight, maintained at most by an occasional treatment (Reference 1).
