Cupping therapy for weight loss works by invigorating the body, stimulating acupoints, and adjusting the meridians to enhance the functions of the spleen and kidneys, support the body's vitality, and eliminate stagnant energy in the body through the clearing effect of the meridians. This not only achieves overall weight loss but also targets localized fat loss.
Firstly, cupping therapy for weight loss effectively regulates the metabolism of lipids. The levels of peroxidized lipids in obese individuals are higher than normal. Cupping therapy opens up the acupoints in the body, reducing the levels of peroxidized lipids and accelerating the metabolism of fat cells, thus achieving the goal of weight loss.
Secondly, it can correct abnormal appetite in patients. By regulating the nervous system, excessive gastric acid secretion can be inhibited, leading to a reduced feeling of fatigue and hunger. After cupping therapy, the rate of gastric emptying slows down, resulting in a feeling of fullness and reduced desire to eat.
Thirdly, cupping therapy effectively regulates hormonal imbalances. Hormonal imbalances are common in obese individuals. The hormonal balance is disrupted after childbirth, leading to weight gain in women. Similarly, hormonal imbalances during menopause can also cause weight gain. Cupping therapy for weight loss regulates the "hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal cortex" and "sympathetic-adrenal cortex" systems, correcting hormonal imbalances and accelerating fat metabolism, thereby achieving weight loss.
Cupping therapy for weight loss is different from drug-based weight loss methods. The effects of medication are usually limited to a certain period of time, whereas cupping therapy works by adjusting the patient's internal functions, exerting an intrinsic effect. Therefore, weight regain is generally not a concern after cupping therapy. In recent years, cupping therapy for weight loss has attracted attention from scholars both domestically and internationally and is considered one of the most effective and healthy weight loss methods. In particular, cupping therapy for weight loss can quickly reduce excess fat, tighten the skin without sagging or wrinkles, and improve overall health for obese individuals caused by hormonal imbalances or simple obesity. It is suitable for those who have failed to achieve long-term weight loss, unsuccessful attempts with medication, and prefer to avoid dieting, excessive exercise, and surgical procedures.
