What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a time-tested healing practice that’s been used for over 2,500 years — and it’s backed by science for treating more than 300 health conditions.

By gently inserting hair-thin needles at key points on the body, acupuncture stimulates your body’s internal messenger system to trigger powerful healing responses. It can help regulate hormones, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, improve digestion, support better sleep, and ease stress, anxiety, and depression. It’s also a natural beauty booster — known to smooth wrinkles, calm inflammation, and stimulate collagen production for glowing, healthy skin.

How Does Acupuncture Support Healthy Weight Management?

At WTHN, we approach weight management from a whole-body perspective, recognizing that physical wellness is deeply intertwined with mental and emotional health. Acupuncture, a key practice in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is one way to assist this balance. While it’s not a magic cure-all, many people turn to acupuncture as part of a broader wellness routine to support metabolism, digestion, and stress response.


Targeting The Root, Not Just The Symptom

Rather than focusing solely on surface-level problems, acupuncture may help address some of the underlying factors that influence weight, such as cravings, sluggish digestion, or hormone imbalance. Through gently inserting thin, FDA-approved needles at specific points, your body’s systems are encouraged to find harmony. This can help you work toward establishing a more mindful relationship with food and a more regulated internal rhythm over time.


Better Sleep

Research has explored acupuncture’s potential to promote better rest by influencing neural and hormonal pathways tied to sleep regulation (Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, Feb. 2011), while reviews suggest it may help improve sleep and overall quality of life (Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, Nov. 2009; Explore (NY), July – Aug. 2015).


Efficient Digestion

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, digestive health is foundational to long-term wellness. Acupuncture has been studied as a supportive option for various digestive concerns, including irritable bowel syndrome (World Journal of Gastroenterology, Feb. 2014; Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, May 2018), chronic constipation (Annals of Internal Medicine, Dec. 2016), and even mild to moderate Crohn’s disease (Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Jul. 2016).


Lower Stress

Stress levels, sleep quality, and digestive function all play essential roles in how the body stores and uses energy — and acupuncture may offer support across these systems. Stress can be exacerbated by health issues like lack of sleep and digestive troubles, so when your body is feeling its best, it’s only natural that your stress levels may also go down. 


Acupuncture Is Proven, Potent, And Preventative

While more research is being conducted, these findings reflect what many clients report anecdotally: regular acupuncture sessions can be a grounding, whole-body reset. When stress, sleep, and digestion are in better balance, it may be easier to build healthy habits that support sustainable weight management.


A Supportive Space For Real Change

Weight management is highly personal, and at WTHN, every session is designed to meet you where you are. Whether you're interested in working on digestion energy levels or cultivating more balance in your body, our studios are a safe and welcoming space to start. Our services can be integrated with cupping therapy, herbal remedies, and mindful lifestyle shifts in one serene studio experience. Our goal is to help you create a manageable self-care routine that feels realistic not overwhelming.


What Acupuncture Points Help Promote Weight Loss?

At WTHN, acupuncture works best when personalized to your unique body and goals. While no two treatment plans look the same, specific acupuncture points are commonly selected to support systems that may help influence weight management, such as digestion, stress response, and hormonal regulation.

  1. Shen Men (Heart 7): Located in the ear, Shen Men is often used to promote a sense of calm and help regulate the nervous system. Because stress and emotional eating can play a role in weight fluctuations, stimulating this point may help encourage more balanced mood patterns and sleep cycles — both of which are key to overall wellness.
  2. Sanyinjiao (Spleen 6): Sanyinjiao, found on the inner leg just above the ankle, is a widely used point in TCM believed to influence hormonal balance and digestive health. When included in a customized treatment, this point may be selected to support smoother digestion and more efficient nutrient assimilation, factors that can influence how the body stores and uses energy.
  3. Zusanli (Stomach 36): Located below the kneecap, Zusanli is traditionally known for its connection to energy levels and digestive strength. Stimulating this point is often used to help the body regulate its systems and maintain vitality, which may support sustainable wellness routines and day-to-day energy.
  4. Zhongwan (Ren 12): Zhongwan sits on the upper abdomen and is commonly used to promote digestive comfort. It may be included in treatments designed to help ease bloating and support smoother gut function, two considerations that are often top of mind when developing a mindful approach to weight management.
  5. Tianshu (Stomach 25): Found about an inch from either side of the navel, Tianshu is a go-to point for supporting healthy bowel movements. When digestion feels sluggish, this point may help reset and encourage a more regular rhythm, which is often foundational to feeling your best.

When paired with acupuncture, these formulas help lay the groundwork for long-term, whole-body balance – because real wellness works better together.

FAQ

Find the most frequently asked questions below.
  • Acupuncture is an ancient system of complementary medicine that’s worked to keep people healthy for over 2,500 years. Acupuncture is the gentle insertion of hair-thin needles at key points on the body. These needles interact with the fascial network (our internal messenger system) to alter brain chemistry and stimulate internal responses, such as regulating hormones like cortisol, releasing pain-relieving endorphins, increasing circulation, reducing inflammation and more. Primary acupuncture benefits include managing pain, digestion, sleep and hormone-related health--as well as mental health issues like stress, anxiety and depression. Acupuncture not only has the potential to help you feel better, but it can also help you look better. It’s an ancient Chinese beauty secret known to reduce wrinkles and inflammation while boosting collagen and elastin.

  • TCM naturally heals humans using three keys: acupuncture, herbal remedies and cupping therapy. Though commonly used together as a powerful holistic approach, each can be just as dynamic on their own. TCM believes the processes of the human body are interrelated and connected to the surrounding environment. And so, it treats the underlying root of health issues rather than the symptoms on the surface--all while strengthening the body’s internal defenses and enhancing its ability to sustain optimal health.

  • Acupuncture for anxiety. Acupuncture for migraines. Acupuncture for depression. Acupuncture for lower back pain. Acupuncture for fertility. The list goes on and on--with over 300 use cases in total, according to the World Health Organization. At WTHN, we break it down to three major categories: Prevent, Heal + Glow:

    ○ PREVENT // Let’s start by busting a myth. You don’t need to be sick or injured to see some serious benefits from acupuncture. In fact, regular maintenance is a powerful way of keeping you healthy. If you’re busy and always on the go with zero time to get sick, acupuncture is a great way to ward off fatigue, soothe sore muscles, minimize stress and anxiety and majorly boost immunity.

    ○ HEAL // Acupuncture has healed for millennia, and been clinically proven to treat hundreds of medical conditions. Major areas that can be healed by acupuncture: pain (literally from head to toe, but more commonly neck, back + shoulder pain plus migraines), women’s health (PMS, fertility + menopause), digestion, insomnia and men’s health (sex drive + erectile dysfunction).

    ○ GLOW // You want to feel your best, why not look your best while you’re at it? Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is an ancient Chinese beauty secret that reduces inflammation, lifts sagging facial muscles and boosts collagen to reduce wrinkles and fine lines--and gives your skin an overall fresh-faced radiance from WTHN. Go on, give it a glow!

  • Use this text to share the answer to the question with your customers.

  • Relatively few complications from using acupuncture have been reported. Complications can result from use of nonsterile needles and improper delivery of treatments. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates acupuncture needles as medical devices for use by licensed practitioners and requires that needles be manufactured and labeled according to certain standards. For example, the FDA requires that needles be sterile, nontoxic, and labeled for single use by qualified practitioners only. When not delivered properly, acupuncture can cause serious adverse effects, including infections, punctured organs, collapsed lungs, and injury to the central nervous system (National Institute of Health, National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health).

  • Acupuncturists have a minimum of a three-year Master’s degree with rigorous scientific coursework and clinical practicum. To practice acupuncture, acupuncturists must be licensed by the state in which they work. All of our Healers are Licensed Acupuncturists (LAC), and some have completed additional study to be a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM). In addition, our Healers actively participate in a rigorous, proprietary training program designed and delivered by WTHN Co-founder + Chief Healing Officer Dr. Shari Auth.

The science behind acupuncture

Research has shown the efficacy of acupuncture vs. a placebo for decades, now emerging medical imaging/technology is helping us see the effects of acupuncture as a treatment is occurring and thus better understand the physiological pathways affected. 

Acupuncture is known to work in four key ways: 

  • Direct response releasing tight muscles and trigger points
  • Stimulating the central nervous system, creating biochemical changes
  • Increasing circulation + reducing inflammation throughout the body
  • Restoring normal brain functioning via homeostatic effects

Acupuncture points are a meeting place of blood, nerve, lymph and an access point to the body’s messenger system of connective tissue. 

It works via the fascia to send messages to stimulate the brain. This, in turn, releases chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. For example, hormones such as dopamine and serotonin or endorphins and enkephalins. These biochemical changes stimulate the body's natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional well-being.
