The mechanism of applying cupping to lose weight is mainly to regulate the metabolic function and endocrine function of human body. Commonly used cupping points are Liang Qiu, Gongsun and Neiguan. Cupping to lose weight is effective for obese young people aged 20 ~ 50. Because at this age, the human body is relatively mature and various functions are relatively sound, it is easier to regulate various metabolic functions of the body through cupping therapy, promote fat decomposition, and achieve the effect of losing weight and lowering blood fat. Cupping can inhibit gastrointestinal peristalsis and gastric acid secretion, thus reducing hunger and achieving the purpose of losing weight. During the treatment, anorexia, thirst, frequent defecation and fatigue may occur, which is normal. Because through cupping therapy, the internal functions of the body are constantly adjusted, metabolism is accelerated, and energy is constantly consumed, some clinical symptoms appear. These symptoms will disappear when the body regains its balance.
The effect of cupping to lose weight is related to season and climate. Usually, the effect is faster in spring and summer and slower in autumn and winter. This is because the human body has a strong metabolism in spring and summer, and natural excretion is smooth, which is conducive to weight loss. If the patient has dizziness, pain, nausea and other symptoms during cupping, it is an adverse reaction of cupping, and the treatment should be interrupted immediately to prevent danger.
Cupping to lose weight is simple, safe and reliable, and patients suffer little, so it is welcomed by many obese people. The following points should be paid attention to during the treatment.
⑴ Acupoint selection based on syndrome differentiation: According to the clinical characteristics of patients, choose the most suitable acupoints. For those with excessive appetite and hunger, the stomach meridian is the first choice; If the posture is edema and exercise leads to asthma, you can choose lung and spleen meridians; If the abdomen is full and the limbs are heavy, you should choose the triple energizer meridian.
⑵ Accurate positioning: When looking for acupoints for treatment, it is best to use an auricular point detector or probe to find the best sensitive point in the auricular point area, and then aim the cupping device at the sensitive point, accurately suck it out and pull it out, and fix it firmly.
⑶ Increase exercise: During the treatment, proper outdoor activities, such as walking and jogging, will make the weight loss effect more obvious.
