Ten things to know before using acupuncture to lose weight

Weight loss has now been integrated into the daily lives of many women, and the topic is always inseparable from weight loss. In order to find a relatively safe and reliable way to lose weight, MM will try every possible means! Acupuncture weight loss is a relatively reliable method of weight loss. It uses the relevant acupuncture points of the human body to adjust the body's endocrine system, thereby achieving the purpose of weight loss. But before using acupuncture to lose weight, you need to understand ten points:

1. Distinguish between weight loss and fat loss

Most people think that losing weight means losing weight, but this is not entirely true. Acupuncture weight loss focuses on reducing fat. Acupuncture treatment only restructures some local fat to improve body shape, adjust the proportion and distribution of fat, and remove excess fat.

The speed of acupuncture weight loss depends on the individual's physical condition and acceptance of acupuncture treatment.

Acupuncture needles used in regular hospitals are disposable. Acupuncture for weight loss will not cause bacterial infection. Even if you take a bath, swim, etc. after acupuncture, there will be no problem because the needle hole itself is very small and the human skin will naturally shrink and recover quickly after acupuncture.

Acupuncture weight loss is divided into several steps, and the time span is longer. The weight loss rate may be faster during the first 1-2 courses of treatment, and the weight will drop faster. During the 3-4 courses of treatment, the weight will enter a stable plateau period. After the 4-5 courses, the weight will enter a slow weight loss period, and the weight, waist circumference, etc. will slowly decrease again.

After a period of relaxation, the skin will slowly shrink back, so the effect of acupuncture weight loss is a cumulative process. The initial weight loss effect cannot be sustained, and there is a relatively long platform adjustment period.

When acupuncture is used to treat obesity, the acupuncture points are selected based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, namely the acupuncture points on the spleen meridian and stomach meridian. Not any place can be used for acupuncture. If the acupuncture points are not chosen correctly, the weight loss effect will be greatly affected.

For those who want to lose weight but are busy with work, they can use the acupuncture method of thread embedding in the acupuncture points. This method embeds absorbable medical catgut into the acupuncture points. They only need to go to the hospital for a checkup once every 15 days or so. Catgut softens, decomposes, liquefies and is absorbed in the body, producing physiological and biological stimulation to the acupuncture points, thus making up for the shortcomings of acupuncture such as short acupuncture time and difficulty in consolidating the therapeutic effect.

The cost of acupuncture for weight loss is not too expensive, about 40-50 yuan each time. If you receive treatment 3 times a week, 12 times a month, the monthly cost is about 480 yuan. In addition, if you use acupuncture thread embedding for weight loss, it costs 15 yuan per acupoint. Generally, about 6 acupoints are embedded each time, and it is embedded twice a month, which costs about 180 yuan.

Generally speaking, the faster you lose weight by dieting excessively, the greater the damage to your health. However, acupuncture weight loss is different, because the Chinese medicine weight loss process does not require patients to actively diet, but by stimulating acupoints to regulate metabolic balance, fundamentally regulate appetite, so that excess fat in obese people's bodies dissipates and weight is reduced, thereby achieving the purpose of weight loss.

9. You must choose a regular hospital for acupuncture weight loss

At present, there are many beauty salons in society that also promote acupuncture weight loss. Doctors remind everyone that acupuncture weight loss is actually a process of curing a disease. First of all, obesity is a disease and an external manifestation of metabolic disorders in the body. When choosing a weight loss institution, you should carefully examine whether the treating doctors have all the relevant certificates, qualifications and certificates.

Formal acupuncturists have all undergone rigorous training and are required to have a very precise grasp of acupuncture points.

During treatment, patients are generally required to increase their exercise, which means adjusting their personal lifestyle. After acupuncture weight loss for a period of time, the patient will obviously feel that his mental state is better, his digestion is particularly good, and his bowel movements are normal. If this is combined with healthy exercise, people will be in a pleasant state, which will be beneficial to the metabolism of the entire body.
