Program is designed to shrink your stomach and control your appetite.

The program consists of a one month medical acupuncture treatment course which instills an input into your physiology over several sessions to effectively control your appetite and shrink your stomach.

The result is a consistent weight loss pattern of approximately 1-3 pounds per week 0r 3-5 pounds per month. The effects continue to work after the treatment month and they are reinforced by  two follow up treatments over the next three months.

There are FOUR simple and basic dietary ‘rules’ which are explained in detail at the first visit. The results have been consistent despite any previous diet or exercise programs that you might have undertaken.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The program works in two ways. Firstly it controls food cravings. If you are prone to stress eating when emotions are in turmoil, the 7 ear points are designed to 'digest' or control the stress and hence the appetitie. SecondlyThe input is also based on a general circuit given at the first visit, which is  designed to affect digestion in a positive way and shrink the stomach. The ear points are stimulated by small gold studs which are left in place in the ear until the next treatment.
