Discover the way to a health life - Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine help Weight Loss

Obesity not only affects the body's appearance but medical research has proven that obesity and cardiovascular disease, digestive diseases, diabetes, and respiratory diseases are closely related.It can increase the risk of some cancers, such as endometrial cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer.Obesity is an endocrine and metabolic disease. Overeating reduces energy and affects insulin production. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, more than 34 percent of Americans are obese, and 6 percent are "extremely" obese.

Although the daily intake and energy consumption vary widely, adult fat content and body weight, under normal circumstances, is very stable. This is because there is a balance in the body of the energy taken in and the energy consumed. The physiological mechanism of regulating the energy balance is complex. The main control in the central nervous system includes the promotion of appetite, a hunger center andan appetite control.Excessive body fat, over a long period of time, creates an energy imbalance and an unhealthy body. When the body's caloric intake is more than the body needs, the excess calories are stored as fat. It is the accumulation of excessive fat, when the energy balance is broken, that leads to obesity.

Weight loss with acupuncture, includes auricular acupuncture and body acupuncture and is most successful when combined with Chinese herbs. TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) theory holds that being overweightis related to the spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach function in the digestion and transportation of food. If these organs are not functioning normally, fluid retention can develop and qi (energy) and blood become stagnant. This can result in obesity and in the course of time lead to a deficiency of both the spleen and the kidney. Disorders of the liver and gallbladder can become worse. This means the consumed product is not being metabolized and can change into fat and cause excess weight. If this situation continues for a long time, the spleen and kidney can become deficient and the liver and gallbladder can develop disorders. The mechanism of acupuncture for weight loss is to regulatge the function of the spleen and stomach. Each patient is a unique individual and each has his or her own underlying cause for being overweight. The doctor finds the key points in the patient in order to suppress the appetite in patients with hyperthyroidism, to regulate the endocrine function, promote energy metabolism, increase energy consumption, promote the mobilization and decomposition of body fat, and ultimately lose weight.

Acupuncture weight loss program is natural, effective, and hasno side effects. Studies have shown that acupuncture helps one lose weight and thereby increase one's energy. Jeffrey Rossman, PhD, is a Director of Life Management in Lenox, MA said: "Try acupuncture. Many people who try acupuncture find that ear needles work quickly to help reduce cravings and compulsive eating. After acupuncture, people notice that they're naturally hungry at appropriate times of day, but not ravenously hungry. They are less stressed and less prone to engage in emotional eating".

In real life, many things cannot happen overnight. It is the same for acupuncture weight loss.At my acupuncture Clinic, I have had some patients lose 5-10 pounds or more within a month and some patients lost 50 pounds in three months. Since each person is an individual with unique needs, the progress and effectiveness of the treatment will not be uniform.As long as the patient builds confidence with his or her acupuncturist health advice along with a reasonable diet, exercise, and adheres to regular treatments of acupuncture, most patients will see positive results in weight loss.

For over 28 years of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine practice, I have used a unique method of treating weight loss with acupuncture, and have successfully helped many patients with weight loss. Patients view their experience with me as completely supportive. If you are interestedin losing weight in anatural, safe, and effective way, Talking to your local acupuncturist may prove to be a beneficial option to you.
