Embedding thread to lose weight

Catgut embedding to lose weight is an extension and development of acupuncture weight loss, and it is an improved external moxibustion.

It is to implant protein magnetized silk into the corresponding acupoints with a silk embedder, and achieve the purpose of losing weight through the continuous and effective stimulation of the silk body to the acupoints (silk naturally dissolves and absorbs in the body 15 days to 3 months). This method embeds the lead 1 time within 20 days, which avoids the trouble and pain of "acupuncture" once a day for obese patients.

Essentials of catgut embedding to lose weight

Moxibustion and catgut embedding are simple, safe, reliable and less painful to lose weight. However, why do some patients fail to achieve their goals despite going to a regular clinic? This is because I don't know some essentials of acupuncture weight loss.

First, patients in acupuncture weight loss should be obese as adults. Such patients are more likely to adjust various metabolic functions of the body, promote lipolysis smoothly, and achieve the effect of losing weight and lowering blood fat.

Secondly, acupuncture combined with diet has a better effect. The principle of diet control is: don't eat when you are hungry, eat vegetables, lean meat and eggs until you are full, and don't eat sweets, fat meat, potatoes, lotus roots and vermicelli.

Third, the acupuncture weight loss process is a process of mobilizing the internal regulation function of the human body through the regulation function of the meridian system, and promoting the balance between metabolism and self-regulation, so acupuncture weight loss will not gain weight soon after stopping. Acupuncture weight loss is also a gradual process. It is also unrealistic to expect to become slim after a few stitches.

Fourth, in acupuncture weight loss, Chinese medicine does not advocate "hunger therapy". Different from many methods of losing weight, in the process of acupuncture weight loss, excessive diet control was not emphasized, especially "hunger therapy" was not advocated. Because excessive dieting may lead to anorexia, digestive organ dysfunction, serious consequences, and may also lead to a decline in metabolic function, which is a potential factor for further obesity. Once a normal diet is restored, the patient will continue to gain weight, and may even be fatter than before. This is the greatest advantage of acupuncture weight loss.

Embedding effect

Generally four times is a course of treatment. Catgut embedding can lose weight once for 15 days. You can usually see the effect once you lose weight. After a course of treatment, you can lose 8 ~ 20 Jin. In addition, waist circumference, hip circumference and leg circumference will also be significantly reduced.

danger

First, steel needle disinfection is not strict.

The main instruments of "catgut embedding at acupoint to lose weight" are steel needle and catgut. These two instruments have been regarded as disposable products abroad, and regular hospitals in China also advocate patients to use disposable needles. Although it is not mandatory, at least one injection should be given to everyone, and professional high-pressure steam disinfection should be used after use, which is difficult for informal hospitals to do. In hospitals, steel needles are generally disinfected with alcohol, but alcohol can only kill bacteria and has no effect on viruses such as hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Especially in summer, the concentration of alcohol after volatilization may not reach 75%, and the disinfection effect will be worse. After steel needles are inserted into human acupoints, capillaries may be broken. Therefore, if the steel needle is reused without adequate high temperature and high pressure disinfection, it is easy to cause the spread of blood diseases between people, and the most contagious ones are hepatitis B and AIDS.

Second, there is a problem with needle users.

If you don't have professional training and are not familiar with the acupuncture points or anatomical structures of the human body, you are prone to danger. "Catgut embedding at acupoints to lose weight" is actually an extension of acupuncture weight loss, and it is a medical method that invades the human body. Although needles are not applied to the fatal key parts, people who receive acupuncture tend to feel dizzy when they are hungry, weak and tired.

Third, the direction of embedding thread is not well grasped, and depression or nerve injury may occur.

"Catgut embedding at acupoint to lose weight" requires that half catgut be implanted into fat layer and half into muscle. If it is improper, simply implanting the thread in the fat layer will cause fat liquefaction and bury some depressions. If you stab the wrong point, it will seriously damage the nerves of the human body. According to the regulations, this invasive and traumatic behavior belongs to medical behavior, and the needle applicator must hold a doctor's qualification certificate and a doctor's practice certificate, and the location is designated in a medical institution. Diagnosis and treatment outside the hospital must be approved and filed by the health administrative department.

In addition, Chinese medicine divides obesity factors into multiple types, such as spleen deficiency and phlegm-dampness type, which is characterized by fatigue and muscle relaxation. Although I have a bad appetite and can't swallow food, I am still obese. Spleen and stomach excess heat type, halitosis, constipation, yellow urine, strong muscles, large appetite, easy to hunger. Hyperactivity of liver yang is often accompanied by symptoms such as hypertension, dreaminess, and bad temper. There are also spleen, lung and kidney qi deficiency types, such as hyperhidrosis, burnout, lethargy, soreness of waist and knees, edema of lower limbs or edema of the whole body. As the saying goes, "drinking cold water will also grow meat" belongs to this category. The disorder of chong and ren is manifested as menstrual disorder and hip edema. Blood stasis type is common in obesity after car accident or contusion.
