Weight Loss and Management in Chinese Medicine

A major concern in today’s world is weight loss. Many people become depressed and feel immense stress for this reason. Excess weight and obesity are medical conditions that increase health risks.

Popular Methods and Side Effects

1. Starvation

This method can cause malnutrition and loss of glow and elasticity of hair and skin. More importantly, it can decrease metabolism. Once eating begins again, the body cannot easily process excessive carbs, which will result in more fat.

2. Purging

This method can lead to acid reflux. The esophagus can also suffer from damage and result in future eating disorders.

3. Eliminating fat from the diet

Fat in foods is not completely bad. The human body needs fat to maintain normal organ structure and supply energy. Complete elimination of fat can cause constipation.

4. Fruit diet instead of staple food

Eating fruits alone and nothing else can cause nutritional imbalances. Our body needs proteins, iron, and other minerals from a variety of foods to function normally.

Lorraine Yamm, Neck Pain

“I came into the office unable to turn my neck or shoulder to the left without feeling shooting pain down my right side. I was so afraid I had pinched a nerve and would be immobile for months. Within 45 minutes, the pain was gone and I could move my neck and shoulder again. The acupuncture treatment was so effective!  Dr. Liu located an acupuncture spot in my right hand that was connecting to my neck, shoulders and back. It was like magic! He massaged the point on my right hand, and the remainder of the pain was released. Thank you Dr. Liu.”

Raisha Liriano, Back Pain

“I was suffering from the worst back pain ever! I couldn’t stand for long, I couldn’t sit for long. Even lying down was painful. I decided to try Acupuncture. I have to admit I was skeptical. How could this tiny needle make the pain go away? But IT WORKS! After the first treatment, I felt no pain.  With only three treatments I am PAIN-FREE.”

Michael De Leon, Shoulder Pain

“I came to Dr. Liu with left shoulder pain and numbness on my left index finger. Through his knowledge of Chinese medicine and acupuncture he took the time to explain to me where my injury was located. Within the completion of my first session of acupuncture, I felt results immediately. The pain was less and the numbness to my index finger had resolved and I have finally had a good night’s rest. I look forward to completing the rest of my acupuncture sessions as recommended. I would highly recommend Dr. Liu to anyone. He is a true professional and kind and gentle soul.”
