How does the combination of Hypnotherapy and Acupuncture help with weight loss

Changing the way you eat

The reason this technique is so successful for weight loss is threefold.  Firstly Hypnopuncture works wonderfully well at helping to drastically change a patients’ eating patterns and habits.  Both acupuncture and hypnotherapy on their own can help cut down snacking, binge eating and food cravings, but with Hypnopuncture the positive effects are amplified so that these unwanted habits seem to be eliminated with ease.  With the acupuncture working directly on the appetite centres in the brain and the hypnosis working on removing unwanted subconscious eating patterns, every patient is able to begin eating healthily and sensibly even after the first treatment.  

Banishing lethargy - energising motivation

The second area where Hypnopuncture  works really well is in motivating patients to take more exercise.  A patients’ inability to establish any kind of regular exercise routine in their lives can be due to a number of reasons, from just plain tiredness and lethargy to being too embarrassed to go to the gym to not being able organise their daily lives to fit it in.  Hypnopuncture is able to combat all of these obstacles. By working on the subconscious, again the hypnosis can remove a patients fear of embarrassment or help a patient be more organised and in control of their daily routines.  The acupuncture, by working on a persons energy system and opening up the patients blocked life force pathways (meridians or channels), can dramatically increase a patients energy levels so they feel more than able to take up some regular exercise.

Clearing "dampness" - the X-Factor!

The third factor for hypnopuncture’s success in weight loss is what makes the technique so special.  This “x-factor” utilizes a concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine called “dampness”.  In Chinese Medicine, people put on weight and are unable to lose it because of damp energy and phlegm in their body.  This damp energy accumulates in the body through a variety of factors, but is mainly as a result of  eating  too much “damp” food ie dairy and fatty foods.  This damp energy then  sits in the energy pathways and internal organs and slows down the bodily systems such as the metabolism.  With Hypnopuncture this damp energy is cleared from the body allowing the lifeforce qi to move freely which then “energises” the whole body including the metabolism and digestion.

How does it work?

By attending one hourly treatment session per week you can lose up to a stone or more in six weeks. If you wish to lose more you may then continue weekly, fortnightly or monthly sessions depending on how quickly you wish to loose the weight.  The great thing about hypnopuncture, is that once the weight is off, it should stay off, as the treatment not only changes your eating habits and motivational levels, but also changes the way your body absorbs and processes the food that you eat.
