Many people are please to find loosing weight with a Holistic approach is not an event but an energizing, enlivening process .
Acupuncture can assist weight loss in several ways.
Research has shown that Acupuncture can be used to curb the appetite, depress cravings, rid excess water, stimulate the pituitary gland to burn off extra calories, and correct the internal body imbalance which causes so many people to be overweight. Acupuncturists may also use tiny balls or seeds taped to specific points on the ears that patients can squeeze and stimulate on their own to address hunger and tension from dieting and increase endocrine functioning. Initial visits last about 45 min. and follow up treatments are biweekly down to every other week, depending on how much weight loss is desired. Acupuncturists may also recommend Chinese herbs to assist in weight loss, appetite suppression, relief form anxiety and metabolic increase. Some may also be trained in the use of herbal aromatherapy to help decrease cravings.
