Massage can help you lose weight, don’t say you didn’t know!

The magical thing about traditional Chinese medicine is that many of the things we would otherwise go through a lot of trouble for, can be cured with just a few acupuncture treatments or massages around the acupuncture points on the body. So can traditional Chinese medicine massage help you lose weight?

1. Baihui acupoint: Massage before meals can reduce appetite

Location: Baihui point is located at the intersection of the midline of the top of the head and the line connecting the two ear tips.

Slimming effect: This acupoint can relieve physical and mental tension and stress. Massaging this acupoint before meals can not only clear your mind, but also control your food intake, thereby improving your physical condition and reducing fat intake.

2. Cheek-car point and Tiantu point - repeated massage can create an oval face

Location: Slide upwards along the jawline of your face and you will find a depression, which is the cheek-cartilage point. The Tiantu point is located in the depression of the clavicle.

Slimming effect: Due to various reasons such as stress and staying up late, sometimes we will have swollen cheeks and unclear facial contours. At this time, as long as we massage the cheek-cartilage point for 15 minutes and then apply ice water to the face, the swelling on the face will disappear.

3. Stomach acupuncture: Promote metabolism and reduce fat accumulation

Location: In the center of the right auricle.

Slimming effect: Repeatedly massaging this acupoint can speed up gastrointestinal metabolism, thereby reducing fat accumulation. So, if you consume too many calories, you can choose to massage the stomach acupoints for 15 minutes to promote digestion. It is worth mentioning that massaging the stomach acupoints before going to bed can prevent swelling of the face and eyes the next day.

Tui Na massage can indeed help people improve their bodies, but in terms of weight, we still need to plan according to our personal eating habits to effectively ensure the health of our personal physique.
