In China's TCM hospitals, acupuncture and herbal medicine are used for weight loss frequently.  In the USA, most oriental medicine based treatment programs focus on using acupuncture to break food addictions.  While this is a viable use for a small segment of the overweight population, it denigrates chinese medicine and the real heart of it which is to establish a pattern specific to oriental medicine and treat or harmonize that pattern.

There are several patterns and causes of disharmony which pertain to reasons such as food stagnation-digestion, metabolism, inactivity, or emotional disturbance.

In chinese medicine, the doctor takes a history of the problem, pulses and tongue diagnosis as well as palpation to make and confirm a diagnosis.  Acupuncture points and accessory techniques such as: moxibustion, (warming points), cupping, applying a suction type device to specific points, massage or herbs will be selected and treated once or even twice per week.  Dietary therapy is given and is limited to foods to eliminate and decrease and foods to increase.

There is a minimum of a three month program in China's TCM hospitals and patients there will lose 10% or more of their body weight.

I am interested in starting a program at my clinic.  This program will involve unlimited visits for three months and be affordable.  If you are interested please call us at: 847-577-4455 or email me at doctaryn@aol.com!!!!
