Weight loss comes under the topic of "Weight Control". This is a multi-faceted problem, and a good program involves diet, exercise and stress reduction techniques.
Acupuncture is an ADJUNCT therapy. It is not a wonder cure in the treatment of weight control. But, acupuncture is effective in making it easier to lose and maintain that loss if the patient is willing to change their lifestyle.
How Does Acupuncture Help With Weight Loss?
psychologically.
- Acupuncture helps balance hormones. Acupuncture can increase endorphins, which reduce cravings and generally make you feel more positive. This can help reduce binge eating.
- It also decreases the hormones that contribute to weight gain.
- Acupuncture helps with weight loss is by reducing stress. Cortisol, the stress hormone, can affect weight in several ways. It disrupts digestion, contributes to depression and escalates your “fight or flight” response. If you feel overwhelmed, you are more likely to binge for emotional reasons and to assume you have no time to prepare healthy meals.
- Acupuncture can aid digestion. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the spleen is responsible for digestion. Disharmony and imbalance in the spleen can lead to fatigue, slow metabolism, water retention, loose stools, and a feeling of heaviness.
What does it involve?
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine, sterile needles at specific body points or "energy pathways" or on specific points on there ear. Electroacupuncture helps to increase the stimulation of these points and therefore increase the metabolism of the fatty tissue.
Each session lasts 20-25 minutes and for quicker results the therapies are combined with auricular acupuncture.
How Acupuncture works:
- Creates ideal conditions for weight loss
- Reduces the volume of the fatty cells
- Increases the metabolism (increased local metabolic activity of adipocytes)
- Increases local blood flow and improves venous drainage in areas of the body with cellulite.
