Abstract Obesity is one of the leading health risk factors worldwide and the use of biomedical anti-obesity drugs has been limited by side effects including mood changes, suicidal thoughts, and gastrointestinal or cardiovascular complications. Recent research suggests that acupuncture treatment is more effective than conventional biomedical drugs and lifestyle modification, such as diet and exercise, for achieving and maintaining weight loss.
