Acupuncture can facilitate weight loss by giving the person a feeling of well-being which can suppress the desire for excess food. Acupuncture also stimulates metabolism and it enables the body to utilize food efficiently instead of storing it as fat.

In order for the acupuncturist to choose the correct points for you, you must first come in for a consultation to discuss your particular pattern of overeating, and let the practitioner know in your intake form if there are any real digestive difficulties.
