What is the principle of guasha for weight loss?
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, guasha therapy can expel impure Qi from the inside to the surface, eliminate toxins that are trapped in the body, and provide nourishment to diseased organs, tissues, and cells. This promotes smooth blood circulation throughout the body, accelerates the body's metabolism, and balances the five internal organs, achieving the goal of beauty and weight loss.
Why does guasha help with weight loss?
Guasha for weight loss mainly stimulates acupoints or specific areas, causing effects on the human body's nerve endings or sensory receptors. Through the nervous and humoral systems, signals are sent to the central nervous system, which then analyzes and synthesizes the signals to produce a coordinated effect on the body, achieving a new metabolic balance.
It can stimulate fat metabolism.
By using the method of scraping along the meridians, certain stimulation is applied to specific areas. This stimulation is transmitted to the fat tissue through the meridians and acupoints, causing fat to break down and liquefy. This accelerates fat decomposition and inhibits fat synthesis, achieving a balanced fat metabolism in the body.
It enhances blood and lymph circulation.
By clearing the meridians and using dietary therapy, blood and lymph circulation can be accelerated. This helps remove the decomposed and liquefied fat content during the weight loss process, which is then excreted through sweat glands, respiratory pathways, and excretion.
It regulates endocrine imbalances.
Regulating the balance of metabolism. The significance of regulating endocrine imbalances in the weight loss process is profound. Many obese individuals experience varying degrees of endocrine imbalances due to various reasons. After undergoing weight loss treatment, when their hormone metabolism reaches a normal level, their body weight will quickly reach a normal level as well.
It can suppress appetite.
The accumulation of fat is, in a sense, due to excessive nutrition. By stimulating the acupoints and meridians through guasha, it can effectively suppress appetite, which is crucial for reducing food intake in weight loss.
