Modern medicine believes that simple obesity is often accompanied by endocrine disorders, with various hormones, especially insulin, sex hormones, adrenal cortex hormones, leptin, etc., being abnormal. Acupuncture can be used to regulate the endocrine system and bring it back to normal.
On the other hand, traditional Chinese medicine analyzes obesity mainly in terms of the functions of the liver, spleen, and kidneys. Acupuncture can be used to regulate these organs and restore their normal functions.
Using the principles of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment, acupuncture and acupressure are used to adjust the nervous and endocrine functions of obese individuals. Acupuncture for weight loss:
On one hand, it can suppress the excessive appetite of obese patients, reduce food intake, and inhibit excessive gastric and intestinal digestion and absorption functions, reducing the body's energy intake;
On the other hand, it can promote energy metabolism, increase energy expenditure, promote the mobilization and decomposition of body fat, and ultimately achieve weight loss.
When using acupuncture for weight loss, treatment may target acupoints such as Sanli, Sanyinjiao, Fengshi, and Zhongdu.
Adjusting the body's endocrine system
Acupuncture for weight loss uses traditional Chinese acupuncture methods to stimulate relevant acupoints in the body, thereby adjusting the body's endocrine system and achieving weight loss.
There are many advantages to acupuncture for weight loss. It is painless, has significant effects, and does not require the individual to endure the pain that other weight loss methods may bring.
Some girls pursue rapid weight loss and are willing to harm their bodies by taking weight loss pills, extreme dieting, excessive exercise, and controlling daily water intake. Let's take a look at the drawbacks of these weight loss methods:
Although taking weight loss pills or diuretics can result in rapid weight loss, what is lost is mostly water. With the loss of water, electrolyte imbalances can occur, leading to metabolic acidosis. For weight loss, it can be said to have no benefits and only harms;
Extreme dieting is not sustainable and can lead to ketosis acidosis, causing symptoms such as fatigue and nausea;
Excessive exercise can deplete glucose and hinder fat metabolism, making weight loss futile;
Controlling water intake can cause dehydration, which is not only detrimental to fat metabolism but also increases the burden on the liver and kidneys, preventing the timely elimination of waste products from the metabolism process and causing toxic reactions in the body.
Acupuncture for weight loss does not have the above-mentioned problems, so these rapid weight loss methods are not advisable. We advocate a steady and healthy approach to weight loss. Acupuncture for weight loss is safer and more reliable, without any harm to the body. It is a safe method of weight loss.
