Weight Loss and Acupuncture

Acupuncture uses tiny needles to stimulate the flow of Chi or vital energy.  Sometimes the body holds in too much heat, which can slow down our metabolism.  Acupuncture can help release that heat, helping our bodies to function healthier and shed unwanted pounds.   Special spots on the body or acupuncture points are used to help curb food cravings.  In some cases acupuncture works extremely well with women.   Michael Moore, our acupuncturist, has actually treated women whom have dropped  3-4 dress sizes using only acupuncture, with no change in diet or exercise. 

Acupuncture is also very healing for all conditions of the stomach and digestive track.  There are also points that provide a bit of improvement in mood and well being that would be good for people struggling with weight issues, or who eat to make themselves feel better.  Acupuncture can help with bloating, binge eating, cravings, digestive problems, emotional problems, and that too full feeling we sometimes get after eating.
