Welcome to our page about weight management with the help of acupuncture. We are offering an alternative approach to help you manage your weight. By stimulating key points on the body, acupuncture helps to regulate metabolism and reduce cravings. Here are some frequently asked questions we have been receiving from those who have shown interest.
Q1: How many treatments are needed for me to lose weight?
A1: The number of acupuncture sessions needed to see results for weight management can vary depending on the individual and their specific goals. Some people may see improvements after just a few sessions, while others may require more. Your acupuncturist can work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your needs and preferences. We also need to have a proper assessment to differentiate what kind of body type you have, so the practitioner can prescribe herbal tea if needed.
Q2: How does weight management acupuncture work?
A2: By stimulating the acupoints and meridians of the human body through acupuncture and adjusting the satiety center and hunger center of the human brain, acupuncture can help to inhibit gastric acid secretion and gastrointestinal motility and delay gastric emptying after meals, thereby reducing appetite and intake. Acupuncture can improve the circulation of Qi and blood in the body, thereby promoting the body's metabolism, increasing calorie consumption, accelerating fat decomposition, and achieving weight loss.
Q3: Does acupuncture hurt?

A3: Generally speaking, acupuncture is not a painful experience. Most people report feeling some sensations when the needles are inserted, such as a slight pinch or warmth. These sensations quickly dissipate and are often replaced with a feeling of relaxation and well-being. Acupuncture needles are extremely thin - far thinner than hypodermic needles - so they generally cause very little discomfort. Furthermore, the treatments typically last only 45 - 60 minutes, making them easy to fit into any schedule.
Q4: What else can acupuncture do other than help with weight management?

A4: Acupuncture can also provide numerous health benefits that go beyond weight management. Studies have found that it can help reduce inflammation, relieve stress and anxiety, improve sleep quality, regulate digestion, and increase blood circulation. Furthermore, acupuncture has been found to improve immunity through its ability to stimulate the release of endorphins in the body - which are hormones that help regulate the immune system and reduce pain perception. As such, acupuncture is an effective form of alternative medicine that can provide real health benefits without causing discomfort or pain.
