My answer is always: \u201cYes, we can help you, IF you are willing to help yourself also!\u201d Acupuncture can help promote digestion, curb appetite, and deal with emotional eating.<\/p>\n<p>Typically patients who come to me with weight issues (or even digestive disorders) show up with imbalances in the Spleen and Stomach meridians. Often they will also have some type of imbalance in the Triple Energizer (Sanjiao) channel. When I see all three of these channels out of balance I always ask how digestion and food choices have been lately. Usually this becomes confession time for the patient\u2014parties over the weekend, pizza last night, etc.<\/p>\n<p>How do you treat for weight loss with acupuncture? Great question\u2026 Here are some approaches that may help.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#1: AcuGraph basic treatment:<\/strong> Balance the graph and give dietary recommendations. It is much easier to tackle a weight loss goal when the body is functioning properly and the meridians are in balance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#2: Auriculo PC treatment: <\/strong>Use the Weight Control protocol listed in the Auriculo PC program. This will help the patient with appetite control. For added benefit after the patient leaves your office, particularly to help with cravings, add ear seeds for the patient to stimulate as needed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#3: Advanced TCM theories:<\/strong> Think outside the box. All of us have multiple approaches to treating patients because we have varied educational backgrounds. Analyze the graph in your own way.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what I do:<\/p>\n<p>I love to study points and channel pathways. With so many requests lately for helping patients to lose weight, I decided to do a little extra studying. My studies led me to two recurring thoughts I would like to share in relation to weight loss. The first is a new word that I learned. The second has to do with the function of the Triple Energizer.<\/p>\n<p>New word: <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><em><strong>Huang<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Huang means membranes or connective tissue, specifically relating to the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">spaces between the abdominal cavity and the abdominal muscles<\/span>. Huang is the tissue that fills the abdominal cavity to surround the organs. According to Giovanni Maciocia, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Qi tends to stagnate in the membranes of the abdomen<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><em><strong>Triple Energizer<\/strong><\/em><\/span> Function<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Triple Energizer refers to specific body areas composed of the head and trunk. This is an <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">area of the body where fat accumulates<\/span>. This channel is responsible for <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">moving qi in and out of the membranes (Huang) which surround the organs<\/span>. When the Triple Energizer is functioning smoothly it ensures the free flow of fluids through the Lung, Spleen, Kidney, Stomach, Small Intestine, Large Intestine, and Bladder channels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One of my favorite things to study is points. The Chinese name of a point indicates why they were used historically. There are five acupuncture points that have the word \u201cHuang\u201d in them: Kidney 16, Bladder 43, Bladder 51, Bladder 53 and an extra point that I hadn\u2019t heard of before\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I found this \u201cExtra Point\u201d called Huang Mu in Giovanni Maciocia\u2019s book, <em>The Channels of Acupuncture<\/em>. Giovanni refers to this point as a \u2018front collecting point\u2019 for the membranes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Huang-Mu.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1354 size-full\" title=\"Huang-Mu\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Huang-Mu.jpg\" alt=\"Weight Loss - Huang Mu Point\" width=\"300\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Huang-Mu.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Huang-Mu-180x300.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>*This extra point (Huang Mu) is not yet in the AcuGraph or Points software. To locate it, draw a line from the nipple to the umbilicus. (For women the nipple doesn\u2019t always fall into the designated location, so use a location in the 4th intercostal space, directly below the midpoint of the clavicle.)\u00a0Now, from a point halfway along this line, move horizontally directly below the nipple. (See Maciocia, <em>The Channels of Acupuncture<\/em>, pg. 44).<\/p>\n<p><strong>What I am finding clinically: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I decided to go back and look at the graphs of my overweight patients to see if there were any<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> commonalities in their Triple Energizer channels<\/span>.\u00a0 I found that most of my overweight patients almost always had an imbalance in this meridian.<\/p>\n<p>Last week I conducted a little experiment, paying close attention to patients that showed up with an imbalance in the Triple Energizer. Two common factors showed up for each patient with an imbalance in the channel.\u00a0 First, the point Huang Mu was tender to palpation for each of them. Second, their pulses felt choppy and sluggish.<\/p>\n<p>The interesting thing is that after I needled Huang Mu, the pulse changed immediately from deep and choppy to even and balanced for every patient!<\/p>\n<p>I feel confident that Chinese Medicine, along with current technology such as AcuGraph and Auriculo PC, can help a person in their weight loss journey.\u00a0 Isn\u2019t it great to live at a time when we can combine ancient Chinese wisdom with the modern technology of the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century? I love my job\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Have a great week!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ThompsonKimberly2017-IMG-2446-Social-Media-Crop-Leap-Photography.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-18887\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ThompsonKimberly2017-IMG-2446-Social-Media-Crop-Leap-Photography-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"205\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ThompsonKimberly2017-IMG-2446-Social-Media-Crop-Leap-Photography-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ThompsonKimberly2017-IMG-2446-Social-Media-Crop-Leap-Photography-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ThompsonKimberly2017-IMG-2446-Social-Media-Crop-Leap-Photography-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ThompsonKimberly2017-IMG-2446-Social-Media-Crop-Leap-Photography-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ThompsonKimberly2017-IMG-2446-Social-Media-Crop-Leap-Photography-660x660.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ThompsonKimberly2017-IMG-2446-Social-Media-Crop-Leap-Photography.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 205px) 100vw, 205px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1340 alignnone\" title=\"kimberly_sig\" src=\"http:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/kimberly_sig.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"62\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Kimberly Thompson, L.Ac.<\/p>\n<p>Miridia Technology Inc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s that time of the year.\u00a0 Everyone is asking me if Chinese Medicine can help with weight loss.
