Yes, acupuncture can regulate metabolic rate. Many patients experienced weight loss with acupuncture management. The mechanism is very complicated. Each acupoint can acts on multiple organs at the same time. In modern words, acupuncture can regulate and adjust the level of multiple neurotransmitters and hormones synergistically, resulting in profound effects on nerve system and multiple other organs at the same time. Usually, heavy individual can loss about 2 lbs per week with treatment of acupuncture twice per week; about reduction of 6 to 8 lbs per months in the first two months.

Yes, it can balance your body in many, many ways. I'm assuming you've already had your thyroid checked. If so, I'd find an acupuncturist near you and start working with them on a regular basis. It will take a series of treatments to affect your metabolism.

The metabolism is complex. We treat the body as it presents and not conditions the way Western Medicine does. We would determine what the underlying cause is and treat that.

Hello, acupuncture can regulate metabolism.

**Jeff Rippey** Acupuncturist Saint Joseph, MO · Accepted Answer

In a roundabout way, yes. We have some excellent studies that show acupuncture regulating blood sugar and insulin levels, hormones used to signal hunger and fullness as well as the release of digestive enzymes. We also know that acupuncture promotes the parasympathetic "rest and digest" portion of the autonomic nervous system. We also know that acupuncture tends to promote homeostatic mechanisms in the body and acts to normalize lots of different functions.

Is acupuncture going to directly increase/decrease metabolic rate? There's no evidence that I'm aware of which would indicate this is the case.
