Acupuncture (acupuncture)

Technologies

Acupuncture (acupuncture, acupuncture) is a Chinese medicine technique aimed at treating a variety of diseases, as well as rejuvenation, combating age-related changes (wrinkles, loss of skin elasticity) and weight correction. It originated in the East, was popular in China for a long time, then came to Europe, and then conquered the whole world.

The essence of the technique is the introduction of very thin needles into various parts of the body. It is known that on the human body, especially on the ears, there are many biologically active points, by acting on which you can influence the functioning of internal organs. With the correct placement of needles, doctors achieve incredible results, increasing the quality of life of patients.

Indications for acupuncture for weight loss

For a long time, the main indication for acupuncture was illness: headaches, weak immunity, weak activity of adrenal hormones, etc. But it turned out that the procedure also has a beneficial effect on the appearance of patients: facial acupuncture can increase skin elasticity, get rid of wrinkles, swelling and double chin , get a full lifting effect. Also, many clinics have begun to provide acupuncture procedures for weight loss. It turned out that the technique can be compared in its effectiveness to surgical methods of body correction, including liposuction.

Acupuncture for weight loss is an opportunity to get rid of extra centimeters on the waist, hips, back, neck, etc. without surgery. Acupuncture stabilizes the functioning of the endocrine and autonomic systems, improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and metabolism, promotes the elimination of toxins, relieves increased appetite and excessive food cravings. Also, thanks to this technique, the skin begins to actively produce collagen and elastin. As a result: its color and water balance improve, it becomes more elastic and toned (lifting effect).

How does acupuncture work for weight loss?

What is the essence of acupuncture that promises effective weight loss? During each procedure, the specialist inserts special acupuncture needles into the patient. The thickness of such needles does not exceed 1 mm. Length is variable. In addition, the points that are affected during the session are chosen by the specialist. After all, each of them is “responsible” for a specific system in the body.

Interesting! Often needles are inserted into the earlobe. But there are also special points in the eyebrow area. Some of them can eliminate stomach pain and stabilize appetite.

The process of inserting needles for weight loss only from the outside seems like something very scary. Reviews from patients tell a completely different story. Many people call acupuncture almost painless.

The duration of an acupuncture session is 30-60 minutes. But after the procedure, you should not immediately engage in vigorous activity. Doctors recommend resting for a quarter of an hour after acupuncture.

Why has acupuncture for weight loss been so effective and efficient? The whole point is that the specialist manages to influence certain points on the body. Thanks to this, the process of activating metabolism starts. In addition, appetite is significantly reduced. A person, according to reviews, begins to eat less. Food portions are also being reduced. As a result, the volume of the stomach decreases. Over time, a person gets used to eating little, since satiety occurs quickly. That is why using this method you can perfectly lose weight and get rid of extra pounds without harm to your health.

There are other benefits of acupuncture. This method not only helps you lose weight. Acupuncture is aimed at cleansing body tissues of:

• excess liquid;
• toxins and waste;
• excess fat.

Often the patient loses weight precisely due to the removal of excess fluid, leading to edema.

To avoid unpleasant consequences and not to nullify the entire benefit of the procedure, after acupuncture sessions that promote weight loss, it is recommended to avoid eating high-calorie and fatty foods.

Note! To lose weight more actively, losing weight through a course of acupuncture should be combined with physical activity.

Types of acupuncture for weight loss

1. Classic method . The needles are placed at specific points on the abdomen or legs for about an hour. As a result of exposure, the organs of the gastrointestinal tract (intestines, liver, kidneys, stomach) begin to work better, the body is cleansed, and appetite decreases.
2. Faleev's method . One needle is placed at a certain point on the patient's ear. With the correct technique, treatment sessions normalize the functioning of all body systems, reduce the feeling of hunger and reduce its manifestations. This type of therapy is most effective when combined with diet.
3. Mukhina's golden needle method . A piercing-like needle is inserted into the point on the patient's ear responsible for saturation. It is worn for about a year: during this period the patient can independently control his appetite.

Acupuncture sessions are quite comfortable regardless of the chosen technique.

Why does acupuncture help with obesity?

Pathological excess weight develops under the influence of numerous factors. Three of them interfere with weight loss more than others, so acupuncture has three goals.

• Impact on the hypothalamus . This part of the brain is responsible for appetite and the feeling of fullness. The points located on the ear change its functioning, reducing the need for food.
• Normalization of hormone levels . Hormonal imbalances are common causes of obesity. During acupuncture sessions, the receptors of several acupuncture points are irritated, helping to stabilize hormonal levels. Their choice is determined by the gland whose work is disrupted.
• Alignment of mental state . The perception of one's own problems and the outside world can change under the influence of negative situations. Constant dissatisfaction with oneself gives rise to the habit of eating into a bad mood, unresolved personal or work problems. By methodically influencing certain points, you can balance the emotional background, support the nervous system, and help cope with stress.

Like any medical procedure, acupuncture has contraindications. Therefore, a preliminary examination is required so that the therapist can choose the method that suits you personally.

The effectiveness of the procedure: does acupuncture help with weight loss?

The effectiveness of acupuncture for weight loss has been proven in ancient China: healers noted that when internal organs function correctly, people begin to feel better and look better. And acupuncture sessions for weight loss give a more pronounced aesthetic result, since they are initially aimed at combating extra pounds.

To obtain a visible effect, it is enough to complete a course of 5-6 procedures. But for a more lasting result, 10-12 sessions are needed: if you follow the doctor’s recommendations, a slender silhouette will please you for about a year.

Indications

Acupuncture is indicated for desperate patients with low motivation who are overweight from overeating associated with increased hunger or constant stress. The release of hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which is inevitable when losing weight, causes increased appetite.

Acupuncture relaxes the nervous system, reduces stress levels, and relieves increased excitability, as a result of which the body reacts less painfully to food restrictions.

In addition to the fight against excess weight, acupuncture may be indicated in the following cases:

• disruption of the musculoskeletal system;
• diseases of the endocrine system;
• gastrointestinal disorders;
• respiratory diseases and much more.

With the help of acupuncture, about 500 diseases can be cured, but this practice can achieve the greatest results in the treatment of musculoskeletal pathologies. Before starting a course of reflexology, you must undergo a medical examination to ensure there are no contraindications.

Leave feedback

Until recently, I thought that needles could only be used to treat various diseases. Although depending on how you look at it, excess weight is also a kind of disease. The doctor very accurately selects the puncture sites, it’s clear that a master is working, so I wasn’t even worried about the result. I did acupuncture in a complex of procedures. I lost almost 10 kg in a month! And most importantly, it doesn’t hurt!

glad

I am an old fan of acupuncture; at one time a neurologist gave me needles and treated me for headaches in this way. I know that this is not a very popular method, some even consider it unscientific and prefer pills and other medications, but acupuncture has long proven itself and has many excellent reviews, it has helped a lot of patients become healthy. Therefore, when the question of choosing a method for losing weight arose and the doctor mentioned needles, I immediately decided to go with them. As with the headaches, they did not disappoint! I’m glad that the RHANA clinic has such a procedure.
