The Effect of Acupuncture in the Management of Obesity (Peran Akupunktur dalam Penatalaksanaan Obesitas)

---

Obesity is a risk factor for various degenerative diseases, besides giving poor aesthetical performance. Many ways of lowering body weight are known but the side effects must be considered. Acupuncture is a method of therapy which has a role in lowering body weight. It can be done by stimulating acupuncture points in the ear or in the body. From clinical trials, it is found that acupuncture has some effects i.e. inhibiting appetite, lowering the hyperfunction of the stomach and intestine in digesting and absorbing foods, increasing caloric metabolism, energy consumption, and accelerating lipolysis. To obtain good result, comprehensive treatment including acupunture therapy, diet physical exercise, and drug are necessary. It is also hoped that acupuncture can give longterm effect in lowering body weight.
