Acupuncture may help with weight loss:
“Weight loss can become a reality with Acupuncture. In today’s time it is considered as a new alternative medicine in most western cultures. In reality Acupuncture are practiced medical treatments that are over 5,000 years old. It has been an integral part of Chinese therapy for time immemorial. Normally this treatment is conducted by the insertion of very fine needles, (sometimes in conjunction with electrical stimulus), on the body’s surface, in order to influence physiological functioning of the body.
Acupuncture can also be used in conjunction with heat produced by burning specific herbs, this is called Moxibustion. Acupuncturists can use as many as nine types of Acupuncture needles, though only six are commonly used today. These needles vary in length, width of shaft, and shape of head. There are a few different precise methods by which Acupuncturists insert needles. Points can be needled anywhere in the range of 15 degrees to 90 degrees relative to the skin surface, depending on the treatment called for.
This age old therapy is immensely useful in combating weight. Its proper usage helps in lowering body weight, body fat, insulin levels, and lipid levels in the blood. It decreases excessive appetite and makes it easier to satisfy your hunger with less food. Another significant benefit of this age old therapy is a decrease in menopausal weight gain.
Acupuncture points within the ear are used for general detoxification and
weight loss. The treatment stimulates the production of endorphins which are considered the feel good chemicals. They help to fight cravings for carbohydrates, decrease appetite and in the process help in weight loss. If combined with diet control and aerobic counseling it not only takes off the pounds and body fat, but keeps them off, especially if you’re diligent with the exercise part. This wonderful procedure makes you lose weight without harming your health.
