Product Features
Acupuncture for weight loss is a relatively new practice and the jury is still out on whether it works or not. Practitioners believe that those who follow a healthy diet and exercise plan as well as incorporate acupuncture may indeed see a boost in their weight loss and energy levels. When acupuncture needles are inserted into specific points on the body or ear endorphins are released which have a calming and relaxing effect on the body. When a person is calm and relaxed they can better deal with stress, therefore, making it easier to not overeat and gain weight. Endorphins are also shown to affect the digestive system and the hormonal systems which can have a positive effect of weight loss.
