Weight loss

People frequently ask me if acupuncture can help with weight loss. Everyone knows you need to eat appropriate portions and exercise frequently when possible to control you weight.   

However, there are a few areas in which acupuncture can help with weight loss, and I have outlined them below:

1. Acupuncture makes most people feel better.  When you feel better you are in a better position to control what you eat and remain consistent with your fitness and nutrition program. 

2. Acupuncture reduces stress and has a powerful effect on balancing hormone levels in the body.  The hormones released when you’re stressed contribute to weight gain. 

3. Water retention is another way acupuncture can help with weight loss.  In Chinese medicine excess water weight is called dampness.  The acupuncture treatment causes the patient to urinate more frequently or a greater volume.  I do this type of treatment all the time, drain dampness, for many health conditions. 

4. Finally, when you start a new exercise program acupuncture can help quickly resolve injuries and prevent them from becoming chronic injuries.  Acupuncture is renowned for its ability to help the body repair injuries.
