Just Ask - Acupuncture for weight lost it work ?

Hi Angelica thanks for watching the video, the treatment is widely available in Singapore but in Philippine I'm not so sure about it maybe someone out there can help us. TCM or know as Traditional Chinese Medicine in Singapore is a very popular unlike in Philippine you can see only in Manila china town like Ongpin and it unheard of in the province. Amazon had many range of acupuncture book you might want to read up.


With the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) particularly in China over the past few decades, and increasing interest in complementary medicine the world over, public interest in TCM has also risen. TCM has been considered as part of our cultural heritage and tradition. Among all the complementary medicine and traditional medicine, TCM has the most number of practitioners and patients. TCM practice in Singapore is primarily confined to outpatient care. I still remembered during the 70s not much of TCM clinic in Singapore only in the late 80 and 90's TCM had been slowly increasing awareness government rules and regulation  control from the manufacturer, supplier ,importer and to the retailer. 

I had personally try the acupuncture it work if you are not afraid of needle , the feeling is some sort like ant bite, sometime you could hardly feel any pain at all because of the fine needle they use.Imagine like having an injection, but the needle just need to stay in your body a bit longer,at certain time it can be quite comfortable with a tangling feeling of warmth. However, you need to be persistence in the course of  treatment and not a 1 time miracle cure. Like my Chinese doctor used to say Chinese medicine and acupuncture  is a holistic  approach of curing the mind and bodies and western medicine is direct at the source where time is an critical factor. In accupuncture for weight loss you need to have many treatments, diet and the mind of eating more than you can swallow, and what you eat is what you are.
