Weight Loss There are many popular diet plans in the market today from Dr. Arkins' high protein diet to Dr. Dean Ornish's vegetarian diet. Many Americans are looking for an effective weight control program, but there is really no "one size fits all" solution. Traditional Chinese Medicine sees overweight problems as an imbalance in the Qi (energy) of digestive system and endocrine system. In order to bring our body back into balance and to lose weight, one must focus not only on the body, but on the mind. Acupuncture treatment is not just to promote a general well-being, it can strengthen our will power and Qi (energy). To lose weight, we must discipline both our mind and body. With a stronger will, and Qi, our blood will be gradually purified through the elimination of fat and cholesterol from our body. People often read of a particular herb's ability to make them thin, vital, or cure their illness. This in most cases is misleading and a partial truth. The claims made for energy enhancement or weight loss will rarely work for all body types. Different bodies are energetically different and do not have the same energetic needs. Chinese Herbs are tonics to your stomach and intestines which will help them operate at their optimum efficiency. Natural Qi from the herbs will be carried through the blood to various parts of the body where it will promote the breaking down of fat which will then be disposed of through the intestines.
