Warm Greetings Dr.Chad...!!!!

 

         You've post recently that acupuncture is effective in weight loss, can i ask some acupuncture points regarding to weight loss. I practise needling weight loss in ST25, near CV10 and near CV6 but i think it is not effective.

 

                                                                                                     Thanks,

                                                                                                    Rodney

 See the later half of my

 The most important part of treating weight loss, is not "treating weight loss".  It is treating whatever is contributing to their weight gain in the first place - addictions, thyroid, depression, hormones, etc.  Proper TCM diagnosis is key and this requires an understanding of each patients unique case.  The points you list are very standard TCM points that most likely do very little for many weight loss cases because they may not fit with their diagnosis.  See the later half of my response to a similar question here.
