Nowadays, more and more people are tending to be over weighted. It has a relationship with constitution, inheritance, age, diet, emotion and lifestyle. According to TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), over weight can be divided into deficiency and excess type. Deficiency type of over weight can be due to spleen Qi (energy) and/ or kidney Qi deficiency. Excess type of over weight can be due to excessive “dampness, phlegm” (consider to be toxin accumulation) or over intake of the foods.
Weight loss by Acupuncture works on the whole system according to the TCM diagnosis differentiation, such as by removing excess dampness, increase the Spleen and kidney Qi. That means in western medicine to remove excess toxin, increase metabolism. Also, balance the Yin and Yang, and control the craving of foods; decreasing stress level, balance H; decreasing the toxin heat etc....

Quit smoking / addiction
Smoking can be very harmful for your health. It incidences of bronchitis, lung cancer and mouth cancer and fetal malformation are increased because of smoking Mom.
Recently, Acupuncture combined with Auricular Acupuncture or ear patch has proved to be very effective to stop smoking. According to research papers, the Endorphins and encephalin in the blood of smokers are much higher than in non-smokers. When smokers decide to quit smoking, the level of these hormones drop suddenly. This accounts for withdrawal symptoms when stop smoking, such as restlessness, sleepiness, nausea, and more. Acupuncture and Auricular Acupuncture or ear seed patch methods are used to stimulate the nervous system, which regulates the secretion the above Hormone from central nervous system. Also, the many kinds of nervous branches are distributed in the auricle which links with brain, the internal organs and extremities, so stimulating the ear points by using the electro- acupuncture can regulate functional activities of the body and lower the response to smoking stimulation. Consequently the results are maintained at a physiological level.
In our clinic, the results showed that after the 1 to 2 sessions, some heavy smoker will cut from 25/ day to 10 /day, then after 5 to 8 more sessions, usually it will gain a very stable effect of removing the withdrawal syndrome and craving for cigars when stopping smoking.For light to medium smokers, after 3 to 6 sessions, most of them will stop smoking without craving.For very heavy smoker with strong withdrawal syndrome may need longer course of treatment (8 to 10 sessions).Herbs may be suggested to balance the systems.
What you need to emphasize are:
- Stopping smoking 10 hours or several hours before you visit us. In this case, we treat you at your worst time.
- The first week is a crucial time for treatment results. So your commitment to quit smoking is very important.
- Those who suffer other disease, such as chronic cough, difficult breath; depression, may require more sessions.
