\"Woman<\/a>I was talking with a friend recently, and he asked me if Acupuncture can help with Weight loss.\u00a0I assured him that it certainly can, and then asked why he wanted to know.\u00a0He said, “The Weight Loss topic occupies 4 of the top 10 Google searches!<\/p>\n

It’s a hot topic and if Acupuncture can help, then we need to help our practitioners promote it better!<\/p>\n

Let’s start with an article I wrote on this topic…<\/strong><\/p>\n

When a patient asks if Chinese Medicine can help with weight loss. My answer is always: \u201cYes, it can help, IF you are willing to help yourself also!\u201d<\/p>\n

Acupuncture can help promote digestion, curb appetite, and deal with emotional eating.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Typically patients who come to me with weight issues (or even digestive disorders) show up with imbalances in the Spleen and Stomach meridians.<\/p>\n

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

How do you treat for weight loss with acupuncture? Great question\u2026 Here are some approaches that may help.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

#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

\"Weight<\/a>#2: Auriculo 360 treatment: <\/strong>Use the Weight Control protocol listed in the Auriculo 360 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

#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

Here is what I do:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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

New word: Huang<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
