A few days ago, I heard a friend say that she was using acupuncture for weight loss. After hearing this, I felt quite scared, thinking about those long needles piercing into the flesh, not knowing if it would be very painful. Later, I learned about acupuncture for weight loss and found out some knowledge about it, as well as many taboos. I hope to help everyone here so that we can lose weight and slim down in a healthy way, without being too blind. If you're interested, let's take a look with me!
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the main cause of obesity is the imbalance between the liver and spleen functions in the body. The excess fat in the body takes advantage of this imbalance to accumulate stubbornly. In the long run, it will lead to obesity. Therefore, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, in order to restore the normal functions of the liver and spleen, it is best to solve this problem through acupuncture on specific acupoints. The stimulation of acupuncture helps the functions of various organs in the body return to normal, thereby promoting the rapid decomposition of fat. However, before using acupuncture, it is important to understand some contraindications of acupuncture, so that we can achieve better results with less effort in weight loss!
Contraindication 1: Acupuncture can be performed by anyone
Many people believe that as long as 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: People who perform acupuncture should not only master the basic acupoints, but also have certain professional knowledge and relevant 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 to have it done, rather than randomly finding someone to perform it.
Contraindication 2: Adopting starvation as an adjunct during acupuncture treatment
Under the influence of various general weight loss methods, many women unknowingly develop a consciousness that it is best to adopt a diet and make the body feel hungry during any weight loss treatment period, in order to reduce calorie intake. This can have a good effect on weight loss. If you have this idea, you may fall into a weight loss misunderstanding.
Correct approach: The acupuncture weight loss method used in traditional Chinese medicine is different from many traditional weight loss methods. Acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine mainly stimulates specific acupoints in the body to restore normal metabolic functions. Therefore, even without dieting, the excess fat intake in the body will still be well consumed and decomposed during the acupuncture weight loss process. Women do not need to worry about the re-accumulation of fat. However, if starvation is adopted as an adjunct to acupuncture weight loss, it may lead to anorexia. So, women must not starve themselves randomly!
