I have always been on the fence about acupuncture. I didn’t think it would actually work to be honest with you. I ended up getting it done for my weight loss problem. Insurance did not cover it but that’s okay as I was pretty satisfied with the results.
My treatment started early last month. It wasn’t bad at all. I will still continue to do follow-up visits. I have been really concerned about my weight for a how long time. The diet and exercise routine wasn’t good though at least for me. So how did you think it ended up working out?
First of all, the treatment is not a magic bullet that can take all your problems away in one swipe. Its actually something that you have to work on in conjunction with a change in diet and a change in your fitness routine.
How does it work? Well it works via the needle points. The reason they use these is because this releases the appropriate endorphins to the body. I have heard that people use acupuncture for stress, pain and even arthritis.
To find all your weight-loss points, the doctor will need to analyze your entire body and determine what needs to be done. The thing is that there many points that can be used. Some of the points will actually be directed to the stomach, the mouth, and even thyroid. The points can be located on the ears interestingly enough.
If you are serious patient, a visit is suggested twice a week. This treatment is really designed to the get to the root of the problem- imbalance in energy in the body.
So now the juicy stuff, what are the results? Well I really liked it. I noticed a decline in appetite and a decline in cravings. After leaving, I also noticed that the doctor gave me Chinese herbs. These were effective as well. My doctor told me that these would help with healthy digestion.
