What is Acupuncture Weight Loss
Modern medicine believes that simple obesity is often accompanied by endocrine disorders, various hormones, especially insulin, sex hormones, adrenal cortex hormones, etc. are abnormal. Acupuncture can adjust the body's endocrine through traditional Chinese acupuncture methods, and ultimately achieve weight loss. On the other hand, traditional Chinese medicine believes that obesity is mainly related to the functions of the liver, spleen, and kidneys. By acupuncture to regulate the organs, the functions of the liver, spleen, and kidneys can be restored to normal and achieve weight loss. This method of weight loss through acupuncture is called acupuncture weight loss. Acupuncture weight loss is achieved by needling certain acupoints in the body to weaken gastric peristalsis, inhibit gastric acid secretion, prolong gastric emptying time, slow down gastric emptying, and make the stomach feel full, reducing the desire to eat.
Acupuncture can also accelerate the metabolism of energy, effectively regulate the metabolism process of lipids, increase the energy consumption of the body, promote the conversion of body fat, and ultimately achieve sustained weight loss. The incidence of endocrine disorders in obese patients is extremely high. Why do women gain weight after giving birth? It is not due to excessive nutrition, but because giving birth disrupts their endocrine balance, leading to weight gain. Similarly, menopausal women also gain weight due to endocrine disorders. Acupuncture can effectively regulate endocrine disorders and achieve the goal of weight loss.
Who is suitable for acupuncture weight loss? Obesity is generally divided into pathological obesity and physiological obesity. Patients with pathological obesity can improve their condition through acupuncture treatment, combined with dietary control and moderate exercise to achieve weight loss. However, acupuncture weight loss is basically ineffective for physiological obesity. Patients undergoing acupuncture weight loss should be adults with obesity. This type of patients is more likely to adjust various metabolic functions of the body, promote fat decomposition smoothly, and achieve weight loss and lipid reduction. The most suitable age for acupuncture weight loss is between 20 and 40 years old.
Acupuncture weight loss is most effective for people with abdominal obesity. Because there is more fat accumulation in the abdomen, the effect is more prominent through meridian adjustment and acupuncture. For obese people with excessive water and dampness in the body, acupuncture can diuretic and induce sweating, thus eliminating excess water and dampness.
Some obese people have excessive gastric acid secretion, resulting in strong hunger and constant desire to eat. These obese people are also known as "stomach fire". The function of acupuncture is to reduce the stomach fire of obese people, reduce or suppress their excessive appetite, reduce food intake, avoid overeating, and inhibit their gastrointestinal digestion and absorption capacity. Some obese people gain weight due to habitual constipation. Acupuncture can achieve the effect of promoting bowel movements, thereby reducing energy storage in the body. Menopausal women are prone to obesity due to low activity and endocrine disorders. If they do not strictly control their diet at this time, they are prone to fat accumulation and obesity. At the same time, some obese people have excessive gastrointestinal digestion and absorption function. Acupuncture treatment can promote metabolism and achieve weight loss, because reduced metabolic function is a latent factor leading to obesity.
Who is not suitable for acupuncture weight loss
Acupuncture weight loss is not suitable for patients during illness.
Patients with bleeding tendency and anemia. Within one month of voluntary blood donation. Patients with skin diseases. Physiological obesity patients. What should be paid attention to in acupuncture weight loss?
First, controlling diet is also important in acupuncture weight loss. Overeating and eating indiscriminately during acupuncture will not achieve the goal of weight loss. However, controlling diet does not mean "starvation therapy", and excessive dieting is not advocated.
Second, acupuncture weight loss is a gradual process. It is unrealistic to expect a few needles to make the body slim. Good lifestyle and dietary habits should be developed during acupuncture to effectively prevent rebound. Otherwise, once the acupuncture is stopped, rebound will occur immediately.
Third, during the acupuncture weight loss treatment, there may be decreased appetite, thirst, increased frequency of urination and defecation, fatigue, and other reactions, which are normal phenomena. Through acupuncture treatment, the body's internal functions are continuously adjusted, speeding up metabolism, and continuous energy consumption, resulting in some clinical symptoms. When the body reestablishes balance, these symptoms will disappear. If dizziness, pain, nausea, and other symptoms occur during acupuncture, it is an adverse reaction to acupuncture and the treatment should be immediately stopped to prevent danger.
Fourth, increasing fat consumption is a necessary condition for weight loss treatment. However, strenuous exercise is not advocated. Endurance and long-lasting exercise are recommended. For patients with abdominal obesity, it is beneficial to do abdominal breathing and abdominal exercises for about 20 minutes before going to bed to reduce abdominal fat and promote bowel movements.
Fifth, traditional Chinese acupuncture is a profound science. Patients should go to regular weight loss clinics to receive treatment.
