The Yin and Yang of Losing
Weight
Powerful weight loss treatments combine eastern
wisdom and western science
Weight Management is quite a difficult complex thing for some
of us, and not even an issue
for others.
I myself have struggled with weight issues my entire life and
it was Chinese Medicine that proved effective for me.

The unique weight loss program we are offering here in Los Angeles
at the Oriental Med Spa is a synergy based on the treatment protocol
currently used in China(1) and nutrition
for weight loss taught to physicians(2).
It is a gradual reduction method and includes Oriental Medicine
Diagnosis, a series of eight Acupuncture for Weight Loss Treatments,
Auricular acupuncture (ear seeds) and herbal supplements.
BASIC “Slender Self” WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM:
- Oriental Medicine Diagnosis
- Acupuncture for Weight Loss Treatments - a series of
eight weekly treatments
- Auricular acupuncture (ear seeds)
- Herbal Nutrition Supplements
All treatments are based on an Oriental Medicine Diagnosis to
determine your specific symptom pattern. Acupuncture and herbs
are used primarily to strengthen the digestive system so it becomes
more efficient. The food you eat is better assimilated and you
feel full more quickly with less cravings. The ear seeds assist
the process in between treatments. Patients report that they love
being able to squeeze their ear and have their hunger go away
or feel less stressed out. Breathing exercises are also a vital
part of our program.
Each program is tailored and individualized for the patient’s
unique situation. Each person starts with a basic eight week program.
The program may only be repeated after a month break if weight
loss goals haven’t quite been reached.
We also work with any program that you are successfully using
now.
What’s important is finding the right solutions that will
work for you – not forcing you into a program that will
be difficult. Long-lasting lifestyle changes that you enjoy
are key to long term success.
For those who require additional
support, we also provide Chinese nutrition
diet analysis, Eating plans, Lifestyle Changes Support, RejuvaQi
Qi Gong Exercises, Slim & Toned
IR BodyWrap and AromaWraps for
weight loss.
ADDITIONAL SUPPORTIVE TREATMENTS
These treatments assist the weight loss process and feel relaxing
and invigorating as well. Some people come in simply because they
feel great after their treatment.
We also refer to and work with a group of outstanding supportive
professionals, MD’s, Psychologists, Clinical Hypnotherapists,
other professionals and support groups when a referral is needed.
BITS OF HISTORY
Acupuncture for Weight Loss hit the press in 2003 when Reuters,
CNN and others reported of successful weight loss clinics in China.
Chinese Medicine theory, traditionally hold that overweight people
have imbalanced digestive systems. By stimulating the digestive
system through acupuncture and herbs, it becomes more balanced
and efficient, thus nutrition is more bio-available and the person
feels fuller. Other theories are that acupuncture mainly helps
reduce appetite and improve metabolism(3).
A slow increase in Obesity in China had lead to this new specialty
– weight loss. A professor at a Traditional Chinese Medicine
College in China states that treatments for weight reduction have
been practiced, studied and refined over the past 5 years(4).
In Beijing, the capital, students eagerly enjoy down their Kentucky
Fried Chicken, McDonalds, Coca-Cola, Pepsi and pop tarts. These
foods have slowly replaced the previous hot spots with traditional
Chinese snacks found in places like Grandma’s Dumpling House(5).
In China they say that 4 of 5 patients lose weight in their programs.
Only time will tell here in the West(6).
