Acupuncture
Chinese Herbs Treatment for Weight Loss
|
Obesity is one of the main threats to people's health in modern
societies. People try to lose weight by different ways including
diet and exercise. But for those who always have big appetite
or have physical problems to do exercise, it is harder for them
to lose weight though normal ways. Acupuncture ,as a very popular
therapy for losing weight in Asia and some Western countries,
is an ideal way to help these people and other overweight people.
Firstly, acupuncture works to reduce appetite and stop hunger
feeling. Secondly, it helps to speed up metabolism and prevent
fatty tissue from being produced and accumulated. Hence it is
very helpful for middle-aged women and women in menopause or for
those who can not do exercise if they want to lose weight. Herbal
seeds are quite often used to maintain the treatment effect.

Case history
|
A lady in her forties came to us for her period problems.
She always had PMT in her middle cycle, feeling moody and
hungry. She was quite overweight at that time ( 18 stone
and 9 pounds). We mainly treated her period problem, at
the same, also helped her to loose weight. After about five
months, her period was much better, and her weight was down
to 15 stone.( We saw her twice a month roughly). After another
five months her weight was even down to 13 stone and 5 pounds.
She was very happy with the results. She feels that she
has changed to a different person, more energetic and positive.
