1. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, obesity is a disease, which is actually caused by weak spleen and stomach function and phlegm stagnation. Therefore, many fat people have fat tongues, stripes in the middle of the tongue, or teeth marks on both sides of the tongue, which are all empty manifestations.
2. Acupuncture mainly regulates the function of the spleen and stomach, so as to discharge the dirty things in the body, so some sensitive people will have diarrhea after acupuncture, which is a turbid reaction.
If you combine acupuncture with diet, you will lose weight, but you should
Find a better acupuncturist, because acupuncture has purgative method and tonic method, so we should apply acupuncture dialectically.
4. Acupuncture is actually two methods. Needle is acupuncture and moxibustion is moxibustion. According to the Taoist theory (Taoism and medicine do not separate)-acupuncture communicates meridians, but it is easy to break qi (so there is a method of reinforcing and reducing). Moxibustion warms meridians and unblocks collaterals, but it is easy to hurt yin. Therefore, if the subjects go to get needles, they can soak in water with astragalus and red dates to replenish blood when they come back.
5, in addition, if there is moisture in the body (there is moisture characteristics can be Baidu), in addition to acupuncture, but also more exercise, moderate sweating, soaking some poria cocos, spleen and dampness. Phlegm dampness is the source of all diseases. If it exists, I hope to take it seriously.
6. Finally, the meridians of traditional Chinese medicine can be experienced through some practice methods. At that time, I could clearly feel that the path of meridians was similar to the collateral diagram in the book, which is one of the reasons why I believe in Chinese medicine. Of course, if you don't believe in Chinese medicine, consider me talking nonsense.
