ACUPUNCTURE AND POSTPARTUM WEIGHT LOSS

I recommend and interesting article from Chinese Medicine Times about postpartum weight loss. A dose of common sense.

Acupuncture Treatment for Obesity

A study edited at the Medical Acupuncture journal suggests the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment in weight loss in patients already following a diet and exercise regimen.

The study is limited because of the number of patients (n=30) recruited and the acupuncture treatment used (PC6, ST36 and auricular acupuncture). Thus, large-scale studies are required to confirm this preliminary finding.
