Acupuncture
for Weight Loss
There are over 1,000 acupuncture points on
the human body. Each "point" has different
healing attributes. When treating for different ailments,
different points are tapped into. Acupuncture points within the ear are used for general detoxification
and weight loss. All but one have specific
organs within the body that they correspond with. The
organs include the lung, kidneys, liver and nervous
system, the other point is for relaxation. After these
are placed you will be asked to relax. The treatment
will stimulate the production of endorphins which are
the "feel good" chemicals. This helps to fight
cravings for carbohydrates, decrease appetite, and in
instance of substance abuse, help with withdrawal symptoms.
