Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM ) can help you lose weight because it considers the human body as an organic whole that needs to be kept in balance in order to fully enjoy life and when this balance is missing, disease appears, in this case weight gain and / or obesity.

With acupuncture, for example, you can manage to find and maintain the balance of the person as the key to health: food balance, balance between rest and physical activity, emotional balance, etc. . The inadequacies or excesses in any area of ​​our life will lead to an imbalance and eventually to disease. Identify the cause of it will be important to find solutions that help us avoid, diminish or prevent its recurrence.
Today you can find all kinds of diets and “miracle” products that can make you lose many kilos in a short time , damaging the digestive system , turning weaker and possibly causing damage to other organs or in many cases producing yo-yo effect , sagging skin, dry or oily , toxins ….
Our body is like an extraordinary machine that needs to function perfectly a number of nutrient food that nature, in her wisdom, divided by season, climate and location. In places like Mexico or Beijing you can find very spicy flavors, for example: due to heat, this flavor helps open the pores of the skin to sweat and thus cool the body.

In the great deserts, on the other hand, although it can get very hot, it is extremely dry, there grow dates, which are very sweet. This flavor in the digestive system produce liquids, allowing the body to get hydrated.

For this reasons the best way to keep our body in perfect conditions is to eat what our entourage gives us, and in case of disease or imbalance is possible to treat it according to the diagnostic, introducing or changing certain food that could damage a condition and with the aid of acupuncture, cupping, and herbs…..depending on the personal need.
To conclude I would like to reflect on the fact that in our society there is a tendency to care more for material things (that can be changed or fixed) that the body itself, which is one, for all our life and only ours is the duty to care for it.
