Recently, acupuncture for weight loss has become popular, and many people have some understanding of it. Yes, acupuncture for weight loss is not only fast and effective, but also healthy with minimal side effects. However, there are misconceptions and taboos about acupuncture for weight loss. Do you know about them?
So what are the misconceptions about acupuncture for weight loss? For example, not everyone can perform acupuncture, and it is necessary to go to a professional institution or hospital. Also, acupuncture for weight loss is not a permanent solution. If you do not pay attention to exercise and diet in your daily life, your weight will still increase. And what are the taboos? If you are interested, let's take a look at the following text!
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the main cause of obesity is the imbalance between the liver and spleen functions in the body. Excess fat takes advantage of this imbalance to accumulate stubbornly in the body, leading to long-term obesity. Therefore, in traditional Chinese medicine, the solution to this problem is to restore the normal function of the liver and spleen through acupuncture at specific acupoints, stimulating the organs to function properly and rapidly break down the fat in the body. However, before using acupuncture, it is important to understand some contraindications in order to achieve better weight loss results!
Taboo 1: Acupuncture can be performed by anyone
Many people believe that once they understand the acupoints, anyone can perform acupuncture without causing any side effects to the body. If you have this idea, the consequences can be very serious.
Correct approach: Those who perform acupuncture should not only master the basic acupoints, but also have certain professional knowledge and related expertise to avoid adverse effects of acupuncture. Therefore, when using acupuncture for weight loss, it is best to go to a large and reputable medical clinic for the procedure, instead of blindly seeking help from unqualified individuals.
Taboo 2: Using fasting as a supplement during acupuncture
Under the influence of various weight loss methods, many women have developed a mindset that during any weight loss treatment, it is best to practice fasting and create a sense of hunger in the body to reduce calorie intake. This thinking often leads to falling into a weight loss misconception.
Correct approach: Acupuncture for weight loss in traditional Chinese medicine is different from many traditional weight loss methods. Acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine mainly stimulates the body's acupoints to restore normal metabolic functions. Therefore, even without fasting, excess fat intake will still be effectively consumed and broken down. Women don't need to worry about fat re-accumulation. However, if fasting is adopted as a supplement to acupuncture, it may lead to anorexia. So women must not starve themselves!
