5 Acupuncture Points That Support Natural Weight Loss

If you’re exploring acupuncture for weight loss, one of the most exciting aspects is how targeted pressure points can help regulate appetite, support digestion, and reduce stress—without harsh diets or medications.

At Alternative Health Care Concepts, we help clients from Studio City, Burbank, Sherman Oaks, North Hollywood, and Valley Village lose weight naturally by stimulating powerful acupuncture points that bring the body back into balance.

Here are 5 of our favorite acupuncture points commonly used in weight loss treatments:

  1. Stomach 36 (Zu San Li)
    This point, located a few inches below the kneecap, is known for boosting digestion, improving energy, and enhancing immunity. Whether you’re visiting us for acupuncture in North Hollywood or another location, this point is a cornerstone for strengthening the digestive system—making it easier to metabolize food and reduce bloating.
  2. Spleen 6 (San Yin Jiao)
    Found on the inner leg just above the ankle, Spleen 6 supports digestion and hormonal balance—two crucial factors in weight management. Clients who receive acupuncture in Sherman Oaks often experience reduced water retention and improved metabolism when this point is activated.
  3. Shen Men (Spirit Gate – Ear Point)
    Located on the ear, this calming point helps regulate emotional eating and stress-induced cravings. In our Studio City acupuncture sessions, Shen Men is frequently used to help patients feel more centered, less anxious, and in control of their eating habits.
  4. Large Intestine 11 (Qu Chi)
    This point, located at the outer elbow crease, is known to reduce heat and inflammation while supporting metabolism. When working with patients in Valley Village, we often include this point to assist with detoxification and the body’s natural elimination processes.
  5. Abdominal Points (Ren 12 or Ren 6)
    Found on the midline of the abdomen, these points help regulate digestion, ease bloating, and activate core energy flow. Many of our Burbank acupuncture clients benefit from including abdominal points to directly support the gut, reduce sluggishness, and restore digestive harmony.
