Acupuncture and Weight Loss

Acupuncture can be an amazing tool for weight loss in conjunction with proper diet and exercise.

Acupuncture aids in weight loss by:

• balancing your autonomic nervous system
• stimulating your body’s production of endorphins – which  targets emotional eating and cravings
• regulating your digestive system; allowing you to metabolize food better
• helping your body detoxify, a key ingredient in a successful weight loss program

Biopuncture is a cutting edge treatment that combines homeopathy with the principles of Acupuncture.  Mild solutions of plant-derived compounds are injected into acupuncture or trigger points with super-fine needles.   These injections stimulate the natural healing capacities of your body. The injections are given into the skin or into muscles and are easily tolerated.

Biopuncture can help:

Biopuncture can even offer you relief from allergies and inflammation such as asthma, eczema and hay fever.  Patients with bronchitis, cystitis and sinusitis as well as those with migraines and tension headaches have also found relief with Biopuncuture.

Biopuncture is also amazingly effective when used on your face and body for cosmetic purposes.  The natural, homeopathic substances stimulate collagen production and cellular repair when injected just under the surface of your skin.

Mesotherapy is procedure where multiple tiny injections of homeopathic solutions are delivered into the mesodermal layer of tissue under your skin to promote fat loss and reduce cellulite.  We use only safe, natural, and effective FDA approved homeopathic solutions from GUNA and HEEL.

The Acupuncture “Face Lift” promotes blood and lymph circulation; increased circulation dilates your peripheral blood vessels for better distribution of oxygen and nutrients as well as increased cellular regeneration.  This increased oxygen consumption of your skin’s external layer speeds up the release of carbon dioxide and nitrogen at the cellular level, helping to keep your skin deeply clean. This also contributes to reducing the accumulation of excess sebum, reducing clogged pores.

Best of all the treatment stimulates your body’s production of elastin and 4 different collagen proteins in the skin to reduce and soften wrinkles. It also reduces and relaxes the tension in your facial nerves and muscles improving the integrity of your skin resulting in improved overall appearance and a healthy glow.  This treatment got its name for its ability to tighten the muscles and skin of the face, resulting in the look of a facelift.

With Cosmetic Biopuncture and Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation there is no longer any reason to inject yourself with botulism poison (BOTOX) or other potentially unsafe substances, because at FPHC we are now offering a truly natural alternative for facial rejuvenation.   Guess what?  The results are awesome and longer lasting!

Auricular acupuncture is used to help people recover from substance abuse.  Auricular Acupuncture has been shown to be beneficial in the process of detoxification from substance abuse as well as to help with the emotional, physical and psychological attributes involved in addictions.

Vitamin B-12

Vitamin B-12 helps in the formation & regeneration of red blood cells, helping to prevent anemia. B-12 is also required for effective carbohydrate, fat & protein metabolism. B12 gives you a huge energy boost, which helps you to burn calories. B-12 also keeps your nervous system healthy, increases your energy and is needed for calcium absorption while supporting your immune system. If you do not consume meat and dairy you almost certainly need to supplement because B-12 is not found in plant-based foods.

Lipotropic B12

Lipotropics is just a fancy word for a cocktail containing three amino acids that are essential for the health of your liver.  Your liver is the organ responsible for removing fat and toxins from your body, so if it is healthier, it will remove toxins more effectively.

The vitamin cocktail included in the B12 Lipotropic shots are compounds that enhance liver function and increase the flow of fats and bile from the liver and gallbladder. By definition, a lipotropic substance decreases the deposit, or speeds up the removal of fat (lipo = fat, tropic = stimulate) within the liver. The key amino acids used to make these shots are: Vitamin B12, Choline, Methione, and Inositol plus other key nutrients to support healthy fat loss.
