Obesity
Acupuncture can be a gentle and supportive approach to achieving healthy weight balance.
Scientific studies suggest that acupuncture supports weight loss and the management of obesity in several ways:
- By reducing stress and promoting relaxation, acupuncture helps you make better food choices and eat mindfully — when your body needs nourishment, not as a response to emotions.

- Acupuncture helps stimulate the metabolism and support weight balance, particularly through the menopausal transition.
For best results, acupuncture should be complemented by individual nutritional guidance and regular physical activity.
Frequency: In the initial two weeks, acupuncture sessions are typically scheduled twice per week to support the healing process. After this period, one session per week is usually enough to maintain balance and continue improvement.
Session Duration: Sessions usually last about one hour, although the first appointment may take a bit longer to include consultation and assessment.
Program Duration: The duration always depends on each person’s unique constitution and therapeutic goals.
