ACUPUNCTURE AND WEIGHT LOSS
Acupuncture and digestive aid exercises can be helpful tools in the battle with weight loss. It is an adjunct therapy. It is not a cure in the treatment of weight control but is effective in making it easier to lose weight and maintain the loss if the individual is sufficiently motivated.
HOW DOES IT WORK
There are different theories as to how it works exactly, but it is known that acuncture needles inserted into specifis points on the body and ear release endorphins which can have a calming and relaxing effect that makes it easier to deal with the stress, frustration and anxiety that can trigger overeating and bingeing on fattening foods. The endorphins also effect the digestive and hormonal systems so acupuncture can help rebalance the organ systems which are running too slowly, i.e. the metabolism.
