Acupuncture-weight loss. Losing weight with
acupuncture: One of the safe, effective ways to lose pounds.
Acupuncture has been gaining in acceptance and
credibility in the west in recent years, with more insurance companies
actually covering acupuncture procedures. Evidence suggests it works,
for pain, head aches, smoking, weight loss and many other problems.
Acupuncture is not a cure all- A careful weight loss program
is
still necessary. However, it can greatly facilitate and contribute to
losing weight safely with natural methods. Be sure to find a
qualified, certified, respected acupuncturest, and expect to have 3-8
sessions, and sometimes more, plus regular touch up sessions.
Acupuncture does not usually hurt, aside from some more sensitive
points, and often has very rapid results.
The first time I experienced acupuncture, I was a bit nervous and quite
skeptical. I can tell you that after my fourth or fifth session, I felt
a surge of energy and even happiness as I was driving away, and felt
better for weeks. I was left with no doubt in my mind that even though
I have no idea how it works, it does do SOMETHING. Medical
professionals and even insurance companies are recognizing this as
well. So it may well be worth a try, whether to try acupuncture for
losing weight, or just for a "tune up". |
