What are the disadvantages of acupuncture for weight loss?

Many people may have heard of acupuncture for weight loss, but we cannot ignore the possible hazards of acupuncture for weight loss, because if it is not implemented properly, it may damage the spleen or cause infection with some infectious diseases.

1. It can damage internal organs

Acupuncture for weight loss does have certain risks. If it has no effect on weight loss, it is just a waste of time and money, with no loss. However, if the needle is inserted incorrectly, then it can be dangerous. Some people do not choose regular medical institutions and qualified doctors when doing acupuncture for weight loss. When doing abdominal acupuncture, the acupuncturist does not control the degree of needle insertion and causes the needle to be inserted too deep, damaging the internal organs and causing more serious consequences.

2. Infection with infectious diseases

The steel used in acupuncture should be disposable or strictly sterilized, but some informal medical institutions or beauty institutions cannot do this. The disposable steel needles are not discarded immediately after use, and the non-disposable steel needles are only disinfected with alcohol without being sterilized at high temperature and high pressure. In this way, many infectious germs will not be killed, and the next person will easily be infected with these infectious diseases when using them.

3. Improper use of acupuncture for weight loss can lead to fainting and coma

If there is no effect, the worst that can happen is a waste of money and time. The worst thing is something bad might happen. When performing acupuncture to lose weight, the needle in the abdomen should not be inserted too deep, otherwise it may damage the internal organs. Especially young women with thin abdominal walls should pay more attention. In addition, acupuncturists should also have the ability to deal with abnormal phenomena such as needle dizziness, needle stagnation, needle bending, and needle folding. Those "acupuncturists" who have not systematically studied anatomy and acupuncture and who are rushing into the field may not understand the above situation at all. Their technical level is not only questionable, but also frightening.
