Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) weight loss methods are recognized as safe and effective methods for losing weight. Among them, acupuncture and TCM diet are popular. In fact, these two methods should not be separated, as they can only achieve greater weight loss effects when combined. I will share with you two TCM weight loss methods - acupuncture and diet - to help you lose weight more effectively and healthily.
Acupuncture for weight loss is a safe and side-effect-free TCM method. It has outstanding weight loss effects and advantages, and has sparked a new trend in TCM weight loss. However, acupuncture for weight loss needs to be combined with diet therapy to achieve better results. Diet therapy should not be ignored. So, how should acupuncture treatment and diet be arranged during the weight loss process? I will share with you two TCM weight loss methods – acupuncture and diet – to help you lose weight more effectively and healthily.
Acupuncture and diet should be combined
TCM is profound and versatile. It can be used not only to treat diseases, but also as a method for weight loss. TCM weight loss methods include acupuncture for weight loss, meridian weight loss, massage weight loss, herbal medicine weight loss, and dietary weight loss, among others. Among them, acupuncture for weight loss is a commonly used method. Acupuncture for weight loss mainly involves stimulating corresponding acupoints to adjust the endocrine system, maintain the normal function of various hormones, and regulate the organs to prevent any abnormalities in the liver, spleen, and kidneys. Although acupuncture for weight loss is effective, it also needs to be combined with diet therapy to enhance the slimming effect. During the acupuncture for weight loss process, as the body's acupoints are stimulated, the functions of corresponding organs gradually improve. At this time, the body may produce some reactions. If diet is not taken into consideration, the effectiveness of acupuncture for weight loss may be weakened. Therefore, relying solely on acupuncture is not enough. Acupuncture for weight loss and diet therapy should not be separated; they must be carried out simultaneously without neglecting either one.
The weight loss effects of acupuncture
1. Appetite control: If you find that you have a huge appetite and it is difficult for you to control your food intake, you can try acupuncture. Acupuncture can slow down the digestion of food in the stomach, which requires more time for stomach emptying, thereby reducing your appetite.
2. Promoting bowel movements: Stimulating the corresponding acupoints can improve the function of the intestines and stomach, to a certain extent, promoting intestinal peristalsis and facilitating smooth bowel movements.
3. Promoting metabolism and accelerating fat burning: Most obese people have experienced endocrine disorders. Acupuncture can improve the endocrine system and help eliminate fat metabolism and sugar metabolism disorders.
