Can acupuncture help with Weight Management?

Yes, acupuncture can definitely assist with weight management. It is a safe, natural, and effective method for losing weight. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), weight gain is often viewed as an imbalance in the body caused by malfunctioning of the spleen and liver organ systems. Acupuncture, specifically auricular acupuncture (ear acupuncture), is known to strengthen the function of the spleen and liver which in turn can help in weight loss and control.

Acupuncture works by manipulating points on the body to stimulate changes in metabolism, suppress appetite and reduce food cravings. It can also help to improve digestion, regulate obesity-related hormones and enhance the way nutrients are used. Moreover, it can increase tone in the smooth muscle of the stomach to help people know that they are full.

• Boost Metabolism: Acupuncture helps to increase metabolism by stimulating the thyroid and endocrine glands as your body burns calories more efficiently.
• Control Appetite: Acupuncture affects the part of the brain that feels hunger, reducing appetite and making you feel satiated faster.
• Reduce Stress: Overeating can be a response to stress but acupuncture releases endorphins reducing stress and anxiety.
