Acupuncture and the treatment of Obesity

One of the methods for natural weight loss is acupuncture, which does not require the use of medication and is proven. Acupuncture works for restoring the perfect balance of electric currents in the body.

This technique started more than 5 thousand years in China, and today is highly developed, even with the use of electronic equipment. Because of their high efficacy, acupuncture has spread in several countries.

Acupuncture has two basic strategies to assist in weight loss. The method of most traditional treatment is to regard obesity as a result of bad eating habits, and can be compared to smoking. This method uses the auriculoacupuncture.

Treatment of obesity by auriculoacupuncture, is to deploy ear conventional needles, fastened with tape specific, which are changed weekly (ideally be changed every 4 days).

Alternatively, we can apply removable needles, using as an aid in the treatment acupressure, which involves the application of small metal pellets or seeds, fixed by tape on the ear. The alternative method uses a set of points on the body, carefully selected, according to the therapeutic needs of the patient.

The treatment involves the application of removable needles at specific points of the body, according to individual needs. After this therapy, can be used to supplement therapy, the moa.

These treatments should be performed once or twice a week, according to the evolution of therapy. People with a tendency to obesity may experience weight gain after completion of treatment with acupuncture, because of its incorrect eating habits, there is great chance to return to the status of initial weight.

Thus, every patient should thoroughly review their lifestyle, eating habits, to resume the practice of physical exercises and provides for the re-treatment a few times a year.
