Millions of dollars are spent each year by the weight loss industry offering the latest, greatest diet, eating regimen, exercise plan and club that they promise will help you lose weight.
A healthy diet and a consistent exercise routine are recommended as key to weight loss as well as maintaining a healthy weight and good sense of well-being Acupuncture can be a vital component in you weight loss program. The treatments allow appetite suppression without drugs.
In order for your Acupuncturist to successfully treat you, it will need to be determined if your extra weight is caused by poor eating habits, lack of physical activity, is stress related, or due to a combination of factors. After all contributing factors are assessed, your Acupuncturist will formulate a customized treatment plan and program to meet your needs and accomplish your goals.
Acupuncture, an ancient form of Chinese medicine, dates back over 6,000 years. It is based upon a body map of energy pathways in the body called meridians. Each meridian is linked to a specific primary organ in the body and the meridians serve as pathways for vital energy that maintains overall health in the body.
Information about your lifestyle and daily routines as well as your health history will be discussed at your first meeting with the Acupuncturist. Any medications you are currently taking and/or therapies you are undergoing will also be important information in order for the Acupuncturist to have a full picture of potential reasons for your excess weight and discuss how your lifestyle, health, and other factors impact your weight.
Acupuncture is a highly effective treatment for controlling weight without drugs or prepackaged meals. The goal of the treatments is to help reduce your appetite and can help curb cravings for sugar and other carbohydrates as well. The treatments repair and restore blocked meridians to enhance your health. Side benefits of acupuncture include increased energy level and reduction in anxiety and irritability, which will in turn help you sleep better and feel better about yourself.
Your particular needs will determine your specialized treatment plan. The treatments involve the insertion of hair-thin needles into specific points in the body called acupoints. Each acupoint is selected to stimulate energy flow along the appropriate meridians in the body. The frequency and number of treatments that will be the most beneficial for you varies widely and will depend on your individual progress.
Acupuncture is a holistic, safe and effective component of your weight loss program. While the treatments cannot change your lifestyle, reduce the number of calories you consume or increase the amount of exercise you do, it can assist you with appetite suppression, increased energy level and enhanced self-esteem.
Acupuncture is an ideal weight loss treatment with a proven track record of success. Acupuncture therapy has not adverse side effects and is personalized to meet your individual needs.
