FIELD: medicine. ^ SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, specifically to reflexology. Method involves inserting at least one needle into at least one auricular acupuncture point AT 17, AT 18 or another auricular acupuncture point indicated for patient's adequate food motivation and/or neurosensory humoral control of hypothalamic-pituitary system and optimisation of lipolytic mechanisms. The needle comprises at least two curved sticks with a sharp tip. The other ends of the sticks are fastened on the holder. At least one of the sticks is directly inserted in the acupuncture point, and at least one other stick is inserted into the area around the acupuncture point with a radius of 2-3 mm. The method enhances efficiency of treatment due to microcurrents between (among) the needle sticks one of which is located within the acupuncture point and the other (others) - outside the point. ^ EFFECT: method enhances security of needle fixation when it is worn over a long period of time. ^ 4 cl, 3 ex |
