Is weight loss due to slow metabolism always ineffective? Chinese medicine thread embedding combined with Chinese medicine conditioning to create a physique that is easy to lose weight

Modern people live a sedentary lifestyle and their basal metabolic rate often decreases year by year after the age of 25, and their weight increases sharply year by year. For those who do not want to exercise or do not have time to exercise, but want to lose weight, and are afraid of the many side effects of taking Western medicine diet pills, as well as the rebound effect of weight gain after stopping the diet pills, Chinese medicine thread embedding combined with Chinese medicine conditioning is an effective weight loss method without side effects such as weight gain.

Many cancers, including colorectal cancer, breast cancer, esophageal cancer, and prostate cancer, are also related to obesity.

In addition to the three highs, heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease, obesity can also cause many chronic diseases such as gout, degenerative arthritis, fatty liver, gallstones, gastroesophageal reflux disease, infertility, and even many cancers including colorectal cancer, breast cancer, esophageal cancer, prostate cancer, etc. are related to obesity. A BMI between 18.5 and 23.9 is normal, 24 to 26.9 is overweight, and above 27 is obese. For those who are overweight or obese, the risk of developing the above-mentioned diseases increases and they should actively control their weight.

Traditional Chinese medicine thread embedding is acupuncture that involves embedding goat gut into the acupuncture points of the human body. The goat gut is easily decomposed, liquefied, and absorbed by the human body. Before it is absorbed by the body, it continuously stimulates the acupuncture points to exert its effects.

The long-lasting stimulation of catgut on acupuncture points can enhance systemic metabolism and achieve weight loss effects.

Cai Peiyi, attending physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Peace Women's and Children's Hospital of Taipei City United Hospital, said that the application of catgut to stimulate acupuncture points for a longer period of time can regulate the internal organs, dredge the meridians, harmonize qi and blood, promote intestinal peristalsis and facilitate urination, and enhance systemic metabolism to achieve the effects of weight loss and local sculpting, helping you to build a physique that is easy to lose weight. The effect will be better if combined with Chinese medicine.

Four common causes of obesity

TCM physician Cai Peiyi pointed out that the causes of obesity vary from person to person, but the most common ones are as follows:

1. As we age and do not exercise regularly, our body muscle mass decreases, our basal metabolism drops, and our weight rises sharply. In Chinese medicine, we can choose to use acupuncture thread embedding to promote metabolism (such as Qihai and Guanyuan points) and Chinese medicine conditioning. An increased metabolism makes it difficult to gain weight again, which is the key to building a lean physique.

2. Irregular meals, lack of control in diet, and a fondness for sweets, snacks, beverages and other high-calorie foods, which unknowingly expand the stomach and cause excessive intake of calories, resulting in weight gain. Chinese medicine practitioners choose acupuncture points that suppress appetite, such as the ear Shenmen acupuncture point and the hunger point plaster on the ear lobe to stimulate the acupuncture points.

3. Edema is also a reason for weight gain. Modern people sit for long periods of time and move less, which leads to poor metabolism and decreased circulation, which can easily cause edema in the lower limbs or even the whole body. Chinese medicine chooses to embed thread at acupoints that can regulate the spleen and stomach, remove dampness and reduce edema, such as Fenglong, Shuifen, Zhongwan, etc.

4. People who have irregular work and rest schedules, like to stay up late, suffer from insomnia, have poor sleep quality or insufficient sleep will have a decrease in the concentration of leptin in their bodies. Leptin can suppress appetite, and then regulate energy (such as increasing energy consumption), inhibit fat synthesis, etc. Therefore, a decrease in leptin leads to obesity. Chinese medicine can choose acupoints that help sleep, such as Ershenmen, Sanyinjiao, Taichong and other acupoints.
