According to the scientists from Hebei Medical University, China, acupuncture can significantly help in slimming. The study involved 80 adults with simple obesity. The participants were equally and randomly divided into an acupuncture group and a medication group. Though the total effective rate was found to be more or less similar in both groups, with acupuncture group showing slightly better results, the waist circumferences and the waist-hip ratio significantly improved in the acupuncture group. The scientists concluded that acupuncture has a ‘definite therapeutic effect’ in cases of simple obesity.
