Acupuncture
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese medicine are based on the theory of meridians. “Qi” (vitality) flows through a system of channels called meridians. By stimulating points along these meridians through needling, cupping, moxabustion and acupressure, the flow of Qi and blood can be freed to flow correctly without interruption.
Since all of our organ systems and brain functioning fall within these meridians, there is no limit to what disorders can be treated with acupuncture.

- Weight loss: in 3-5 treatments, your size will be changed!
Acupuncture is an ADJUNCT therapy. It is not a panacea or a wonder cure in the treatment of weight control. But, acupuncture is effective in making it easier to lose and maintain that loss if the patient is willing to change their lifestyle. The exact mechanism by which acupuncture works is unknown but we know that acupuncture needles inserted into specific points on the body and in the ear release endorphins which have a calming and relaxing effect that makes it easier to deal with stress, frustration and anxiety that can trigger overeating and bingeing on fattening foods. Also endorphins affect the digestive and hormonal systems so acupuncture can help rebalance the organ systems that are running too fast- or in this case too slow—i.e., the metabolism and the will power.
