How does acupuncture work?
By stimulating points on and surrounding the breast, your body recognizes there is a foreign object and sends blood to that area, thinking that it’s repairing skin cells. Since nothing is actually wrong, this increased blood flow increases hormone production and cell growth, resulting in larger breasts. Dope, right? Don’t go into this Kendall and expect to be Kim, but after about 4 sessions you can expect to go up one full cup size.
In the instance of losing weight, needles inserted into the ear can suppress appetite by lowering blood levels of the hormone responsible for regulating hunger, leptin. Again, don’t go into this Kim and expect to be Kendall, but I lost 3 pounds after just two sessions. Have I convinced you yet?
