Losing weight starts from the head! Press 6 major acupoints frequently

Losing weight is not just the responsibility of the stomach and intestines! When it comes to "obesity", many people attribute the cause to eating too much, exercising too little, poor gastrointestinal motility and digestion. However, they do not know that the brain, as the most important organ in the human body, actually also dominates the changes in weight and body fat. Chinese medicine practitioners say that modern people often suffer from stress-induced obesity and insomnia. In addition to maintaining the stomach and intestines, they recommend moderate massage of the acupoints on the head to relieve stress and promote sleep, thereby reducing the accumulation of fat in the body.

Baihui point and Sishencong point have the function of replenishing Yang Qi and can reduce obesity caused by stress.

Fight against stress-induced obesity and dredge the acupuncture points on the head

Chinese medicine practitioner Huang Huijuan said that modern people are under great pressure, overuse their brains, and over-consume their body energy. They often have symptoms such as restlessness, insomnia, and poor sleep, which can easily lead to a weak constitution and affect the normal physiological metabolic function. On the other hand, they often rely on eating to relieve stress, eat and drink a lot without restraint, which can easily lead to stress-induced obesity in the long run. At this time, you can massage the Baihui point and Si Shencong point on the head more to "replenish" your vital energy, relieve stress and help you sleep, thereby helping you lose weight and prevent obesity.

In addition to replenishing vital energy, stress-induced obesity is also closely related to poor liver and gallbladder meridian function. Moderate "unblocking" can help improve this condition. Chinese medicine practitioner Huang Huijuan said that stagnation of qi and blood in the liver and gallbladder meridians can easily cause symptoms such as poor sleep quality, insomnia, stress, obesity, dry mouth, and tinnitus. Regular massage of the occipital bone and around the ears, especially enhanced massage along the Yifeng point, temples, and Jiaosun points, can better soothe the liver and regulate qi, unclog the gallbladder meridian, and improve discomfort symptoms and obesity.

In addition, the Shenmen point on the ear and the liver area are also good acupuncture points for weight loss, which can calm the mood and prevent stress-induced obesity. However, there are many acupoints on the ear, and the Shenmen acupoint and the liver area are not easy to locate. It is recommended to directly massage the entire ear and surrounding areas, which has the same health care effect.

Fengchi point is located on the bladder meridian. Regular massage can help water metabolism and eliminate edema.

Poor blood circulation in the shoulders and neck! Press Fengchi acupoint frequently to reduce edema

Excessive stress will not only affect sleep, but also cause shoulder and neck pain due to poor blood circulation in the head and neck, and edema due to poor water metabolism. Chinese medicine practitioner Huang Huijuan said that at this time you can massage the Fengchi point in the occipital area more often. This is a major point on the bladder meridian and is responsible for the flow of water. More massage can prevent edema-type obesity caused by water retention in the body and improve symptoms of shoulder and neck pain.
