Reject Cai Cai's expression! 3 types of weight loss acupoints should be pressed correctly

Modern people overeat and lack exercise, and are constantly threatened by obesity. In mild cases, their figure becomes out of shape, and in severe cases, they suffer from various chronic diseases. Therefore, many people regard "weight loss" as an important lifelong course. However, some people often go too far and adopt drastic or incorrect weight loss methods, which results in a dull complexion, acne, and even severe damage to their physical health. In this regard, Chinese medicine practitioners recommend weight loss adjustments based on individual physical conditions, and can also assist with acupoint massage to enhance weight loss results.

Many women go too far when losing weight, and while they enjoy a slim figure, they also suffer from bad complexion and illness.

Traditional Chinese medicine helps to lose weight and pays attention to physical conditioning

Dr. Zhang Zheming, director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Tong Hospital, believes that the causes of obesity are different for each person, and treatment should first determine the physical constitution, including excess types such as excessive stomach fire, damp heat in the middle burner, qi stagnation and blood stasis, as well as deficiency types such as phlegm accumulation, spleen and kidney yang deficiency, etc. It should be clarified whether the obesity is caused by eating too much, eating too much oil, eating too much cold food, or poor metabolic capacity, and then appropriate medication prescriptions should be given to regulate the physical constitution, allow the body to maintain normal metabolic capacity, and help eliminate fat, drain water and lose weight.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that weight loss prescriptions should be adjusted according to different physical conditions, and symptomatic treatment can avoid the side effects caused by improper weight loss.

In addition to conditioning with Chinese herbal medicine, Chinese medicine practitioner Zhang Zheming recommends that acupoint massage can be used to assist in different syndromes and needs to enhance the weight loss effect, while also taking into account the functions of regulating qi and blood, strengthening the body, and preventing the potential health and mental damage caused by excessive weight loss.
