Being overweight can be caused by over-retention of fluids. Acupuncture together with Chinese Herbs will enable the body to metabolise fluids more efficiently thereby reducing your body weight.
It is important to understand that acupuncture alone is not going to control weight, a suitable diet exercise and stress reduction program should be incorporated into the treatment approach.
Many people believe themselves to be overweight when they are infact a healthy weight, this perception of themselves may be influenced by unrealistic images of people within the media that are usually dangerously underweight, in these cases no amount of acupuncture treatment will give the result they would like.
A typical treatment course for weight loss is one treatment per week over a 6 to 12 week period.
Acupuncture treatments are natural and safe with no side effects
