Acupuncture for Weight Loss

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, obesity is often attributed to a sedentary lifestyle, a preference for greasy foods, overeating, or an oversupply of nutrition. Over time, these factors damage the spleen and stomach’s digestive functions, not only leading to problems with fluid metabolism but also causing waste to accumulate in the intestines and become difficult to eliminate, eventually being transformed and stored in the body as fat.

Through acupuncture, stimulating the body’s acupoints and meridians helps regulate the satiety and hunger centers in the brain, inhibits gastric acid secretion and gastrointestinal motility, and can also delay post-meal gastric emptying, thereby reducing appetite and decreasing food intake.

When the energy expenditure exceeds the energy absorbed, weight-loss effects can be achieved. In addition, acupuncture can improve the circulation of qi and blood in the body, thereby promoting metabolism, increasing energy consumption, accelerating fat breakdown, and achieving weight-loss effects.

Scalp Acupuncture Treatment Improve Hair Thickness

Hair loss can be caused by factors such as stress, postpartum weakness, overwork, staying up late, or endocrine (hormonal) imbalances, and by using acupuncture to regulate the body’s constitution, significant improvement is usually seen.

The health of the hair is closely related to the flow of qi and blood. To improve hair loss, it is first necessary to regulate qi and blood. Through stimulating specific acupoints on the head, acupuncture can promote blood circulation and increase blood flow to the scalp.

After acupuncture treatment, not only does the health of the scalp improve, but the texture and density of the hair also gradually recover.

Acupuncture Treatment and Prevention for Knee Pain

Knee pain is a condition in which injury to the knee joint causes pain. It is commonly seen in modern medicine in cases of degenerative osteoarthritis of the knee and soft tissue injuries around the knee.

The causes include:

Aging and physical weakness, insufficiency of qi and blood, deficiency of the liver and kidney, leading to malnourishment of the joints, tendons, and bones.

Weak defensive (immune) function, invasion by wind, cold, and damp pathogens, resulting in obstruction of the channels and joints.

Falls and injuries, chronic overstrain, causing qi and blood to become stagnant in the joints.

Acupuncture therapy can improve overall blood circulation in the body and locally around the knee joint, producing the effects of invigorating the blood and relieving pain, while also helping to maintain the stability of the knee joint and slow down the degeneration of articular cartilage, thereby achieving a preventive and health-preserving effect.

The Effects/Benefits of Cosmetic Acupuncture

By regulating the immune and nervous systems, it achieves anti-inflammatory effects, relieves itching, promotes tissue repair, and stimulates metabolism.

Acupuncture can directly address the affected areas in treating skin disorders by unblocking meridians and improving local blood circulation. It is cost-effective, has minimal side effects, and is well accepted by patients.

By stimulating the dermal layer, it encourages fibroblast activity and promotes collagen regeneration.

Sleepless Nights from Knee-Hugging Pain — Acupuncture Shows Excellent Therapeutic Results

Common causes of sciatica include herniated intervertebral discs, spinal canal stenosis, or spondylolisthesis. The condition most often occurs between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae, and between the fifth lumbar vertebra and the sacrum.

The treatment primarily focuses on acupuncture using an anatomical-layer needling technique. The treatment area is divided into the lumbar and gluteal regions. In the lumbar region, needles are inserted at the right-side nerve root locations between the transverse processes of the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae, and between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae.

In the gluteal region, needles are inserted at the right Huántiào (GB30) point, where the sciatic nerve passes through the piriformis muscle. During needling in both areas, the patient experiences a radiating, electric-like sensation traveling down the back of the thigh. The therapy is further combined with other traditional acupuncture points and electroacupuncture for enhanced effect.

While still young, it is beneficial to strengthen the core muscles of the lower back. Older adults should avoid activities that place excessive pressure on the intervertebral discs, such as prolonged bending or sitting on low chairs. It is also important to protect the knees. In cases of acute pain, one should rest in bed as much as possible and wear a lumbar support belt or brace to protect the lower back.

Acupuncture Help Relieve Stomach Bloating

Stomach bloating is one of the common clinical symptoms. Acute episodes are often caused by improper eating habits, including consuming gas-producing foods, overeating, irregular meal times, eating too quickly, or excessive intake of cold and raw foods.

Acupuncture often produces immediate and noticeable results in treating stomach bloating, especially for patients with gastrointestinal issues who prefer not to take medication.

The treatment does not focus solely on “subduing the stomach,” but rather on restoring the normal rising and descending flow of the body’s vital energy (Qi), promoting smooth circulation of Qi and blood. As a result, while treating stomach bloating, other symptoms caused by stagnation are often relieved as well.

Acupuncture, Acupressure, and Massage — Relieve Numb Hands When Sleeping

Numbness in the hands has become an increasingly common clinical issue among office workers. The sensations of numbness, tingling, or weakness are symptoms caused by nerves being continuously compressed or pressured by surrounding tissues. These conditions are often classified as cervical spine compression, or carpal tunnel syndrome.

For patients of this type, releasing and relaxing the skin and muscles is an essential part of the treatment process.

When treating the affected areas, it is necessary to realign the five fingers, wrist, and the ulna and radius of the forearm. Further treatment plans should be developed based on the alignment and mobility of the patient’s neck, shoulder blades, and ribs.

Acupuncture: How It Works and Key Precautions Explained

Acupuncture is a unique and widely used treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine, but many people suffering from joint and musculoskeletal pain are afraid of the pain from needle insertion, possible side effects, or the risk of bleeding.

The principle of acupuncture is to invigorate the meridians and stimulate acupoints in order to unblock the body’s qi and blood. By ensuring smooth circulation through the meridians and regulating the functions of the internal organs, it allows the body’s tissues and organs to perform their respective roles, maintaining balance and stability.

After acupuncture, you may feel soreness that can last for several hours or even 1 to 2 days.

One of the post-acupuncture taboos is exposing the treated area to unclean water; you should keep the skin clean to avoid infection.

Due to the fact acupuncture enhances blood circulation and enlarges the pores, it is recommended to wait 3 to 4 hours before taking a shower.

Acupuncture: How It Helps Neck and Shoulder Pain?

Acupuncture treatment for neck and shoulder pain is an effective traditional Chinese medicine approach. By stimulating points such as Jiānjǔ (shoulder well), Fengchi (wind pool), Tianding (heavenly summit), and Dazhui (great hammer), it can improve qi and blood circulation, relax muscles, and reduce pain and compression sensations. It can be combined with tui na (massage) to achieve a comprehensive regulatory effect.

However, it should be performed by a professional, qualified acupuncturist to ensure safety and avoid pressing on the restricted area around the carotid arteries, thereby achieving long-lasting relief.

Unblocking meridians: Acupuncture stimulates points to promote local qi and blood circulation, accelerate metabolism, and relieve muscle stiffness.

Relieving compression: Improves muscle elasticity and reduces pressure on nerves.

Holistic regulation: Combining acupuncture with tui na (massage), and other therapies yields better results and reduces side effects from Western medications.

Acupuncture Reflections: Gallbladder Meridian and Your Decisiveness

In traditional Chinese medicine, “胆 Gallbladder” is thought to be primarily responsible for decision-making, while “肝 Liver” governs planning and consideration. In short, they relate to the functions of the central nervous system.

The mouth feels bitter, habitual sighing develops, chest and flank pain (around the ribs), dull complexion, headaches, jaw pain, tenderness and swelling in the supraclavicular fossa (the hollow above the clavicle), swelling and tenderness under the armpits, hip joints or lower limbs painful, and discomfort in the toes.

In short, the pains described in the various body parts align with the pathways of the Gallbladder meridian.

Acupuncture for "Frozen Shoulder" (五十肩)

Acupuncture is a common and effective treatment for frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis or shoulder arthritis. It aims to relieve pain, improve joint mobility, and address inflammation.

The treatment is generally painless and can result in pain relief, increased range of motion, and improved shoulder function. Acupuncture is often used alongside physical therapy, exercise, and dietary changes for better results.

Acupuncture is generally safe, with side effects similar to placebo treatments (such as fainting, mild headache, or dizziness) being rare.

In summary, acupuncture provides natural pain management, reduces inflammation, and improves mobility for frozen shoulder patients, making it a valuable part of rehabilitation and recovery.
