Weight Loss Through Acupuncture

If you want to achieve weight loss through acupuncture you generally won’t be able to just show up at the office one day and say you want to lose weight. The acupuncturist will generally want to know a little bit more about you, your weight problem, your weight loss goals, and how you have gotten to your current weight. While the actual mechanism that allows for acupuncture to aide in weight loss is unknown, it is known that when an acupuncturist places the needles in specific places behind the eat and in other places on the body, it releases endorphins that allow for you to release a more relaxed and stress free life, which can result in eating less and living a more active lifestyle.

When you meet with the acupuncturist before hand you will give them some much needed information so that they give you a treatment that you need to help you lose weight. The acupuncturist will use your pattern of overeating and bingeing on fatty foods to aide them in which points they will actually use to help you lose weight. You’ll find that the acupuncturist is very in tune with people who want to lose weight and the information that you give to them will help to tailor your treatment, releasing endorphins and even help to balance the organ system, which may help to speed up your metabolism.

The acupuncturist will take the information that you give them and decide where they will place the needles based on your responses to the questions. Many of the points include:

The Mouth: This is for the impulsive eater

The Stomach: For the person who eats when they are full

Hungry: For appetite control

Lung: For food addicts

Shenmen: To help with frustration, anxiety, and insecurity

Endocrine: For water retention

Adrenal and Ovary: For weight gain that is caused by menopause or PMS

Spleen: For sugar imbalances or hormonal disturbances

Kidney: Water retention, nervous system, and hormones

Thyroid: For slow metabolism

As you can see, an acupuncturist has many places throughout the body that can help them hone in on your body and your specific needs. A lot of people have felt a real difference in their energy levels and appetite after just one session, and after a few session a lot of people find that they are no longer over eating, and finally losing the weight that they thought would never come off!
