Acupuncture used for Weight Loss - A TCM Perspective
Acupuncture for weight reduction is an alternative therapy based on the idea that placing needles at specific points in the body can regulate the flow of energy and thus support weight management. I use acupuncture as well as auricular acupuncture for weight loss as part of a holistic treatment approach, which includes balanced nutrition and regular exercise.
If you would like more information, you can find a study on acupuncture for weight loss in the Postgraduate Medical Journal here. For any further questions regarding holistic treatment, please feel free to contact me.
Qi Xu / Deficiency
One reason for increased weight from the perspective of TCM can be a deficiency of Qi energy, which prevents your body from breaking down fats on its own. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can help with weight loss by stimulating the flow of Qi and strengthening the organs.
Dampness
In TCM, the increased amount of adipose tissue is viewed as dampness. A holistic therapy aims to eliminate dampness from the body.
Stagnation
Stagnation in the body can prevent Qi from flowing and fulfilling its function, which can lead to overweight. If this is the case for you, a holistic therapy would first focus on resolving the stagnation.
