Your initial one hour appointment includes a comprehensive evaluation with Dr. Helene Pulnik, individualized diet and supplement recommendations, and your initial ear acupuncture treatment.
Using very small, fine ear acupuncture needles, Dr. Pulnik will place 5 in both outer ears, on specific points that will decrease hunger and cravings, decrease stress, and stimulate metabolism. The needles are removed after 15 minutes, and small transparent ear magnets are placed on the points, for 1 week, until your next visit. During this time, you will stimulate the points at home 3 times a day with your acupuncture point stimulator.
The Program consists of weekly visits for 6 to 12 weeks for acupuncture and replacement of ear magnets, as well as monitoring your progress.
For thousands of years acupuncture has proven itself to be an effective form of treatment, for a multitude of ailments, including weight control.
*Recent studies have shown that auricular acupuncture provides greater weight loss success than with just diet alone. People throughout the world have successfully been able to achieve and maintain their desired weight level with the use of acupuncture.
The ancient Chinese medicine works by targeting specific 'points' on the body that correspond with your emotions, stress levels, energy (or 'qi') and your physical body.
For weight loss, tiny ear needles are inserted in the outer ear on the points that regulate stress, hunger, the digestive systems and metabolism.
These acupuncture points work by getting your body to release feel-good endorphin chemicals in your body, suppressing cravings and hunger, and re-adjusting your qi which in turn increases your metabolism so you burn more stored fat.
The Acupuncture Weight Loss Program is offered as a 6 week plan or a 12 week plan, to help you reach your goals.
