The Berkeley Centre - Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into the body's natural energy channels.

Why is Acupuncture good for Weight Management?

Acupuncture weight-loss is a popular, natural, method of losing weight. Acupuncture aims to treat underlying stress levels, frustration and anxiety which are often the root cause of a lot of excessive eating.

During treatment, needles are inserted in such a way as to stimulate release of the hormone endorphin which provides a calming and relaxing effect. Acupuncture weight-loss programmes use this calming effect to introduce control of binging that results from stress.

Short course acupuncture weight-loss treatments mainly aim to suppress appetite and assist in acquiring the lifestyle change necessary to maintain healthy weight. Acupuncture goes hand-in-hand with a healthy diet and an exercise regime.
