Summer is here, and the thought of a plump waist, round belly, and thick calves exposed under light summer clothes is almost unbearable. There are all sorts of popular and unusual weight loss methods these days. Below are some commonly used methods you might want to give a try.
1. Acupuncture and moxibustion: Applying ancient techniques to modern applications
Traditional Chinese medicine treatments such as acupuncture, acupressure, and massage are finding new applications. These methods can stimulate corresponding acupoints, unblock meridians, and regulate endocrine function, thereby achieving a weight loss effect that "reduces swelling and promotes diuresis."
Benefits: Gentle, safe, and reliable.
Disadvantages: Generally, it requires 3 times a week, with 10 times constituting one course of treatment. It takes one to two courses of treatment to see results, and the weight loss speed is relatively slow.
Danger level: Not really, as long as the needles are disposable.
Suitable for: People with ample free time.
Special note: These types of treatments require a high level of skill from the TCM practitioner, so it is essential to find a qualified and reputable TCM doctor.
