Acupuncture for weight loss
Clinical research has yet to confirm whether or not acupuncture is useful in the management of weight loss. A trial of acupuncture treatment for weight loss can be performed at the London Teaching Clinic. A short course of treatment is aimed at appetite suppression. Lifestyle modification is necessary to maintain any weight loss achieved.


             Every patient will have an initial assessment, followed by a course of treatment suitable for the condition.

             Treatment is usually provided in six consecutive appointments but may be less if the condition responds quickly. However, if the practitioner feels that your condition can not be treated with acupuncture, you will be recommended to see your GP or appropriate specialist.

Acupuncture has been used in the treatment of addictions since a chance observation in the early 1970s that it modified the withdrawal symptoms in opiate addicts. Clinical research has yet to confirm whether or not acupuncture is useful in the management of withdrawal from addictive substances.

Acupuncture treatment for smoking cessation can be performed at the London Teaching Clinic. Treatment involves three sessions over the first ten days of cessation aimed at helping patients tolerate the withdrawal effects of nicotine, without requiring replacement therapy (i.e. patches or gum).

Acupuncturefor sexual health

An Often Under Managed ProblemSexuality is a complex process and behavior.

It is coordinated not only by various systems of our bodies such as the endocrine, nervous, vascular and others.

It is also related to personal experience, social, cultural beliefs, and changes with age. Sexuality is also much affected by interpersonal relationships or lack thereof. Each partner brings different needs and response to the sexual relationship. Any disturbance in any of these areas can potentially lead to sexual dysfunction.
For centuries, in many old cultures as well as new cultures, the society tends to focus on the needs and the problems of male sexual dysfunction. During the last 40 years in the West, feminine rights, liberation and sexuality have gone through dramatic changes.

Coupled with increased aging and menopause of American female baby boomers, prevalence of female sexual dysfunction complaints, awareness has surged.

The creation of Viagra was immediately followed by intense pharmaceutical inquiry into a female version of Viagra.

The popular press has now spent much of their efforts in educating the public about Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD).

These sexual problems are not new. In fact, thousands of years ago, Taoists in China believed that a healthy sexual life style could lead to good health and minimize illness. Some Taoists even believe that cultivating great sexual health and habits can lead to longevity and immortality.

The famous Taoist text, "The Tao of Sex" is one of the earliest texts in the world addressing issues of sexuality ranging from specific sexual positions to usage of herbs for sexual dysfunctions.

There are four areas of Female Sexual Dysfunction­ desire, arousal, orgasmic, and pain disorders.

They frequently overlap and need to be ascertained properly. Many medical conditions are a source of direct or indirect sexual problems.

Diabetes, incontinence, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and mood disorders are just some the conditions that may disturb normal sexuality.

Medications such as antidepressants and antihypertensives can suppress sexual desire.

Gynecologic conditions can also contribute to sexual difficulties. For example, chronic recurrent bladder infection can diminish desire. Chronic vaginal or cervical infections can make sexual intercourse less desirable. Normal progression through menopause can also exhibit vaginal dryness and decreased libido. Psychological conditions from past sexual molestation and rape can create physical problems. Current relationship problems can also dampen desire and arousal.

Chinese Medicine offers many tools for addressing these issues. Acupuncture, which has proven neurological and endocrinal effects, can be used in vaginismus-a condition where the outer vaginal muscle contracts to prevent entering of any foreign objects. It is also frequently used in sexual pains especially due to endometriosis, and chronic bladder infection. Acupuncture can also relax one's mood, enhance sensuality and arousal. Herbal medicine is frequently used in combination or alone, especially for hormone regulation. It can also be used in chronic bladder infections associated with sex. Herbs are frequently stimulating to the sex drive as well.
The key to good sexual health is to eradicate problems right away when they arise. Inform your gynecologist and your Tao of Wellness practitioners if you feel you might suffer from these issues.

Acupuncture sexual health

Acupuncture and Chinese herbs have been used to strengthen and promote optimal sexual health for centuries.
Chinese Emperors took their sexual health quite seriously and would consult with a team of physicians if they experienced any difficulties in the bedroom.
While Oriental medicine is well know for improving men’s sexual performance; in fact, there have been medical textbooks devoted to the subject; acupuncture can quickly increase male and female libido and restore sexual desire.
1. How can acupuncture improve a lagging libido?To understand how acupuncture can improve a lagging libido, you have to know the underlying factor that is causing the problem. Causes of waning sexual interest include emotional issues, post-childbirth, breastfeeding, onset of menopause, drug reactions, stress, weight gain, relationship conflicts, hormonal imbalances and physical responses, such as pain or inability to reach orgasm.
With Chinese medicine, a low libido is seen as an imbalance of Qi (energy) within the organ systems, specifically the Kidney and Heart system.
Once the cause of the problem is discovered, specific points are stimulated to alter various biochemical and physiological conditions in order to strengthen both the mind and body to bring you back to prime sexual health. Chinese herbs are chosen that will enhance the treatment by increasing vaginal lubrication, calm the mind and regulate hormone imbalances. Ginseng, for instance, can balance the glandular system, which effects mood and sexual desire.
Hormonal precursors, such as Horny Goat Weed, boost natural levels of testosterone to arouse sexual drive and libido. Other herbal extracts combine synergistically to awaken and enhance female sexual pleasure as well as increase orgasmic strength.
2. Are there other benefits for sexual health that can be garnered through acupuncture?Acupuncture is not only for a lagging libido, it can be used for numerous sexual health conditions for both men and women. Here is a brief list of Sexual Health problems that Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture can help:
Diminished Libido
Vaginal Dryness ,Infertility ,Menopause ,Premature Ejaculation ,Low Sperm Count
Diminished Sperm Motility ,Impotence ,Male Climacteric (men-opause)
3. How does acupuncture compare to conventional medicine to improve sexual health?
One of the most appealing qualities of acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine is the low risk of adverse reaction or side effects. While conventional medicine may treat some symptoms of lowered libido it can also increase the risk of certain types of cancer and have a number of significant side-effects.
Another benefit is that acupuncture treatments work synergistically to treat the whole person. In Chinese medicine, due to our diagnostic system, we are able to assess a persons whole constitution (the health of their whole body) and treat the root (or cause) of a health concern along with a branch (or the symptoms) of a health concern. It is in this way that we are able to treat a person’s whole body and mind, rather than just a symptom.
