The Best for Weight Loss (Part-II)
Fast weight loss, best exercises for weight loss, foods for weight loss
In part-I of this article I discussed about the obesity the fast spreading
epidemic and about the importance of acupuncture to curb it. In this article
we will discuss some more aspects about this therapy.
The acupuncture therapy is not only effective in controlling the excessive
weight but it is also being widely used to cure other human organ problems
like kidney problems, liver problems, lung problems and nervous system
etc.
The principle of acupuncture therapy is simple. Specific points on skin
are selected in specific problems and needles are inserted to a certain
depth. This stimulates the release of a special hormone called endorphin
and the patient feels relaxed and calm.
In this way many problem like stress, anxiety and frustration are also
overcome. These three problems are also main cause of obesity as a person
with these problems starts overeating.
When the acupuncture treatment for reduction of weight is taken in the
guidance of an experienced and well trained acupuncturist, you may feel
the good results in a very short time. It is a natural therapy and removes
the main cause of obesity like stress, anxiety or frustration. A person
will begin to improve his eating habits as he feels relaxed after the
therapy treatment.
In a weight loss program the acupuncturist recognizes the treatment point
after diagnosing the patient thoroughly. He keeps acupuncture needles
inserted in the certain points for about 45 minutes in a session. One
or two sessions per week may be necessary for about 10 or 12 weeks depending
upon the level of obesity.
During the treatment acupuncturist try to improve patient’s metabolism
system to reduce food cravings and increase blood circulation in whole
body. He may suggest some measures to change the life style the patient
is living. The acupuncturist controls the cholesterol level in the body
by reducing anxiety, suppressing appetite and re-energizing the whole
body.
Acupuncture therapy improves overall health by improving blood circulation
system and nervous system of a human body. This is not only the needle
insertion technique but also involves intake of herbs and natural nutritional
supplements. More emphasis is given on breath exercises and massage of
abdominal. Ear acupuncture called auricular is also a part of acupuncture
therapy.
In weight reduction, ear acupuncture is also very effective. Small tacks
and seed sized magnet beads are used to stimulate auricular acupuncture
points like shenmen, hunger point, small intestine and endocrine point.
Some other points are also used by the acupuncturists e.g. thyroid is
used to slow down the metabolism, stomach is used for obesity, spleen
is used for sugar and hormonal imbalance.
No doubt, acupuncture is the best therapy for the obesity, but here is
a warning. You should never try it home by taking some raw knowledge from
books etc. The treatment should always be taken from an experienced acupuncturist
