Three magic weapons for weight loss: acupuncture, thread embedding, and ear acupuncture

In the hot summer, eat more and exercise less, be careful not to become obese. According to statistics, 1 in 7 adults in Taiwan is obese. It is estimated that there are about 2.1 million obese adults in Taiwan, and 1 in 4 Taiwanese mothers is a "fat mother." Chinese medicine practitioners say that there are tips for losing weight in the summer. You can use Chinese medicine's "acupoint thread embedding" to lose weight. Not only is it customized, easy and burden-free, it can also adjust your physical condition and keep you away from the trouble of obesity.

Acupuncture thread embedding therapy is to insert processed catgut into acupuncture points through special acupuncture tools to improve the circulation of qi and blood.

Xie Weiying, a Chinese medicine doctor at Chiayi Christian Hospital, pointed out that Chinese medicine believes that the causes of obesity are nothing more than dampness, phlegm, water, and blood stasis. This is because the dysfunction of the lungs, spleen, and kidneys causes obstruction in the transport function of water and moisture. Dysfunction in transportation means that metabolism becomes poor, and people are prone to being overweight.

Obesity is one of the important factors affecting health. TCM conditioning for weight loss is mainly divided into two parts. One is to use Chinese medicine to regulate according to different physical conditions, such as strengthening the spleen and promoting diuresis, facilitating bowel movements and detoxification, eliminating fat and reducing phlegm, and activating the liver and gallbladder; the other is acupoint stimulation therapy. Acupoint stimulation for weight loss includes acupuncture, thread embedding and ear acupuncture, all of which have good weight loss effects.

Customized Chinese Medicine Treatment

Weight loss with Chinese medicine is done by a Chinese medicine practitioner, who then gives treatment based on different physical conditions, without too many side effects. However, not everyone can quickly reach their ideal weight goal. People who have a reversed day and night schedule, endocrine disorders, and those who have taken diet pills before will have a slower and more difficult weight loss process. They must be diagnosed and prescribed by a professional doctor and combined with appropriate exercise and behavioral changes to achieve their goals faster. This will also reduce the chance of gaining weight again after losing weight.

Acupoint Thread Embedment to Improve Qi and Blood

Acupuncture thread embedding therapy is to insert processed catgut into the acupuncture points through special acupuncture tools. The catgut will stay in the acupuncture points 24 hours a day and continue to function, achieving the systemic effect of adjusting the endocrine system, improving blood circulation and increasing the body's metabolism.

For each treatment, 8 to 12 acupoints can be selected for thread embedding, and the effect lasts for about 7 to 15 days, so those who want to lose weight only need to do thread embedding once every 1 to 2 weeks. Depending on each person's physical condition, one can lose about 3 to 5 kilograms in a month. This rate of weight loss is just in line with the normal speed that the human heart can bear.

Thread embedding for weight loss and body sculpting

After acupuncture thread embedding, local soreness and swelling will continue for a long time. A few patients will feel tired at the beginning, but it will disappear on its own without special treatment. The key is to thoroughly disinfect the skin and avoid touching nerves and large blood vessels at the thread embedding site.

Thread embedding for weight loss also has the effect of sculpting curves. You can sculpt any part of your body you want. It not only achieves the purpose of weight loss, but also can sculpt a curvy body shape.
