There is a kind of acupoint catgut embedding therapy in traditional Chinese medicine, which is somewhat similar to acupuncture, but it is often better in treating certain diseases and conditioning physique. Its principle also lies in the corresponding catgut embedding treatment according to some acupoints. So is catgut embedding at acupoint effective in treating obesity? Is catgut embedding at acupoints the same as choosing acupoints in acupuncture weight loss?

1, acupoint catgut embedding problem

Hu Weijing, College of Acupuncture and Orthopedic Injury, Hubei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, summarized the research on acupoint catgut embedding in the treatment of simple obesity in China, and published it in Academic Journal of Han Chinese Medicine 2065438+May 2004. Acupoint catgut embedding is based on the theory of acupuncture and moxibustion, and achieves the purpose of treating diseases by stimulating meridians, balancing yin and yang, regulating qi and blood, and adjusting viscera in acupoints. Simple obesity refers to excessive accumulation or abnormal distribution of fat in the body without obvious endocrine and metabolic diseases. Obesity is the main clinical symptom, which may be accompanied by abnormal metabolism. His family often has a history of obesity. Most of the obese people we usually see belong to this kind of obesity.

It is suggested that catgut embedding at acupoint is widely used in the treatment of simple obesity, and the effect is remarkable. On the point selection, combining with the analysis of 9 literatures about catgut embedding at acupoints and Wang Leyan's literature on the law of catgut embedding at acupoints for the treatment of simple obesity, it can be seen that although there are various methods of catgut embedding at acupoints, generally speaking, spleen meridian, stomach meridian and ren meridian are the most common points, such as Zhongwan and Fenglong.

Acupoint catgut embedding and acupuncture both achieve the effect of losing weight by stimulating acupoints. Is catgut embedding at acupoints the same as choosing acupoints in acupuncture weight loss? By searching and analyzing relevant data, we can know that spleen meridian, stomach meridian and ren meridian are also the most commonly used acupoints, while Sanyinjiao, Zusanli, Shu Tian, Fenglong, Zhongyu and Guanyuan are the most commonly used acupoints for acupuncture treatment of obesity. By analyzing the related articles about catgut embedding and acupuncture in treating obesity, we can know that catgut embedding is basically the same as acupuncture in treating simple obesity, except that some superficial muscles and tendons are selected.

Is catgut embedding at acupoints completely free of adverse reactions? Through clinical observation, we found that some patients had the following adverse reactions: pain, infection, nodules, bleeding, fever and so on. In order to reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions, the operator should pay attention to the following points:

1) Needle and thread body should be used once, needle holder, operating environment and skin should be strictly disinfected, and attention should be paid to aseptic operation;

2) Ask whether the patient has scar constitution. If it is scar constitution, catgut embedding therapy should be used with caution;

3) The catgut embedding part is mainly rich in muscle and subcutaneous fat, and try to avoid the parts with thin muscle fat and rich blood vessels and nerves;

4) Pay attention to rest after catgut embedding, and instruct patients to keep the catgut embedding part clean, free of sewage and spicy food.
