With the rise of fire therapy, various effects of fire therapy have been gradually discovered. One concern that contemporary women have is whether fire therapy can help with weight loss. Are there any risks associated with fire therapy for weight loss?
Can fire therapy help with weight loss?
Yes, fire therapy can help with weight loss.
Fire therapy utilizes the heat generated by the combustion of alcohol, as well as the techniques of acupressure, pushing, kneading, rotating, and pulling performed by the therapist, combined with the application of medicinal ointments. This speeds up blood circulation, effectively converts and breaks down fats, increases metabolism, and allows fats to be converted into energy and expelled from the body, thus achieving the goal of weight loss.
Risks of fire therapy for weight loss
The risks of fire therapy for weight loss are minimal.
Fire therapy is a safe, natural, healthy, and effective method of weight loss with minimal side effects. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, obesity is mainly caused by excessive phlegm. The stagnation of phlegm in the body blocks the meridians, resulting in poor circulation and the inability to timely eliminate waste from the body, leading to obesity. After alcohol combustion in fire therapy, the application of the therapy liquid helps to unclog the meridians, improve blood circulation, and eliminate waste through sweat, achieving the goal of weight loss. Therefore, fire therapy for weight loss is a safe and healthy method.
How effective is fire therapy for weight loss?
Generally, after completing a course of fire therapy, weight can be reduced by about 2-6 pounds. The weight loss speed may not be very fast, but the elasticity of the skin will also be restored during fire therapy for weight loss, so there is no need to worry about sagging skin after losing weight. Additionally, fire therapy removes toxins from the body, leaving the whole person feeling refreshed and rejuvenated after weight loss.
