Overweight and obesity

Acupuncture can regulate the body's metabolic capacity and promote fat loss. Numerous experimental studies have shown that acupuncture can inhibit the feeding centre, reduce gastric capacity, slow gastric peristalsis, prolong gastric emptying time and inhibit gastric acid secretion.

Symptoms

  • Weight disorder, excessive BMI

  • High levels of cholesterol and other fats in the blood (obesity)

  • High blood pressure (obesity)

  • Diabetes (obesity)

In clinical practice, there are also numerous studies confirming that acupuncture treatment can suppress patients' hyperactive appetite, reduce the feeling of hunger and give patients a slight feeling of satiety when eating, thereby reducing energy intake.

In addition, acupuncture can also promote lipolysis and energy metabolism to achieve weight loss. For patients with metabolic diseases or endocrine disorders, acupuncture can also improve the corresponding symptoms very well.
