I remember that in the just-concluded Rio Olympics, the cupping marks on the body of American swimming star Phelps attracted the attention of people around the world. Cupping is a unique method of treating diseases. Cupping can clear moisture from the body, various bruises, etc. But did you know that cupping can actually help you lose weight? 1: The principle of cupping for weight loss1: Cupping for weight loss uses the powerful suction force of cupping to fully open the sweat pores, stimulate and strengthen the functions of the sweat glands and sebaceous glands, and cause aging cells on the surface of the skin to fall off, thereby speeding up the excretion of toxins and waste from the body. Suctioning of local parts can dredge meridians, balance qi and blood, adjust endocrine system, accelerate blood circulation and lymph circulation, promote gastrointestinal motility, improve digestive function, accelerate the body's metabolism, and increase heat production and fat consumption. It can not only reduce body surface fat, but also reduce excess fat deep inside the body. It is a safe, healthy and non-physiological weight loss method. 2: The benefits of cupping weight loss1: Cupping for weight loss can regulate the lipid metabolism process. The lipid peroxide content in the body of obese patients will be higher than normal. Cupping can open up the body's key points for weight loss, reduce the lipid peroxide content in the body, and speed up the metabolic rate of fat, thereby achieving the purpose of weight loss. 2: Correct the patient's appetite. Overeating is an important cause of obesity, and cupping can regulate the nervous system and stop excessive gastric acid secretion, allowing patients to reach a state of not feeling tired or hungry. After the patient has cupping, the rate of gastric emptying will slow down. If your stomach is not empty, you won’t feel hungry and naturally you won’t want to eat too much. 3: Regulate endocrine. The incidence of endocrine disorders in obese patients is very high. Women gain weight after giving birth, not only because of overnutrition, but also because childbirth disrupts their endocrine balance, causing weight gain. Women gain weight during menopause due to endocrine disorders. Cupping for weight loss can regulate endocrine and accelerate fat metabolism, thus achieving the goal of weight loss. Three: Cupping weight loss method1: Acupoints on the back The acupoints on the back are mainly selected by the flash fire method. The cupping should be left on each acupoint for about 10 minutes to 15 minutes. Cupping should not be performed too frequently and should be limited to two or three times a week. The main function of the Pishu point is to dissipate heat, and the parts that dissipate heat are the spleen and stomach; the main function of the Sanjiao Shu point is to expel moisture, and the moisture here refers to the moisture in the whole body, which is "driven" to the bladder and then excreted from the body through urine. 2: Abdominal acupoints The cupping technique for the abdominal acupoints is also the flash fire method, but the cupping time should be longer than that for the back acupoints. It should be controlled at about 20 minutes, and two or three times a week is enough. Zhongwan point is above our navel, and its main function is to gather and conduct water and fat in the body; Daheng point is located on the right side of our navel, and its main function is to make the abdomen unobstructed and remove fat, and it also has the effect of regulating the spleen and stomach. Guanyuan point is located below our navel. Its main function is to gather qi and blood from the small intestine and then expel moisture from the Ren meridian. 3: The cupping technique for lower limb acupoints is generally the flash fire method. The cupping time should be controlled within 15 minutes, and cupping should be performed two or three times a week. The main function of Xuehai acupoint is to clear blood and remove dampness. The weight loss effect of this acupoint is very obvious; the main function of Zusanli acupoint is to dredge the meridians, and ultimately achieve the effect of tonifying the middle and replenishing Qi. Four: The main function of cupping is to relieveIt can regulate meridians, promote blood circulation, reduce swelling and relieve pain, etc. It has a good therapeutic effect on various joint and muscular diseases. At the same time, it has a good therapeutic effect on some minor daily ailments, such as dizziness, stomachache, headache, etc. |
