First you should never treat

First you should never treat yourself if you do not know what you are doing - and if you are asking this question, it is very likely that you are not trained in the proper application of Chinese Medicine.  The problem with treating yourself is sometimes the points that need to be used (i.e. you cannot reach them), but more importantly, it is difficult to be self aware enough to properly diagnose yourself.

There are no "points" for weight loss - generally speaking.  The way you treat weight issues from a Chinese Medicine perspective is to first figure out why you are having weight issues (poor diet, stress, hormonal imbalances, thyroid problems, depression, etc.....).  By using the diagnostic framework of Chinese Medicine you can properly treat someone and let their body regulate their weight properly - along with dietary and lifestyle/exercise changes.

For commonly used points, herbal medicines and related research you can read our weight loss page.
