Cupping is a wonderful flower in the treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine, which can also play an important role in regulating obesity. 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.

Although there is no monograph on weight loss in ancient Chinese medical literature, the theory of spleen and stomach transport chemistry and the theory of qi and blood have dialectical discussions on the principle of obesity from physiology and pathology. Overeating is sweet in fat, which is transformed from spleen and stomach into ointment and accumulated in the body, or turned into phlegm and dampness to block qi. Explain the relationship between obesity and spleen and stomach.

The methods of health care and weight loss in general medicine are effective for simple obesity, but there is no effective method for hereditary obesity at present.

Cupping operation

1, the symptoms of hyperactivity are obesity, strong appetite, muscular development, red face, greasy fur, red tongue and slippery pulse.

Treatment: clearing stomach and purging fire.

Acupoints: Hunger, Shu Wei, Shu Fei, Yangchi and Sanjiaoshu.

Operation: To lose weight, cupping and ear pressing should be combined. Ear pressing hunger point (front midpoint of tragus, below external nose point), hunger point can make stomach full and reduce appetite, which is an effective point to lose weight. Shu Fei maintained the single cupping method because of Shui Gu's subtle declaration that the whole body depends entirely on the lung to control qi. Acupoints such as Yangchi, Sanjiao and Shu Wei are closely related to the digestion, absorption and transmission of food and the function of spleen and stomach. These important acupoints have an intermediary role in the reaction of hunger in weight loss (including other weight loss methods).

2. The symptoms of patients with dampness resistance are obesity or accompanied by drowsiness, fatigue, anorexia, pale mouth, scanty menstruation or amenorrhea in women, male fistula, fat teeth marks on tongue coating, heavy or slippery pulse and other symptoms.

Treatment: eliminating dampness and resolving phlegm.

Acupoints: endocrine, adrenal auricular points, Sanjiaoshu, Pishu and other body points.

Operation: Ear pressing points of endocrine and adrenal gland indicate that the central nervous system can regulate endocrine. Body points can be treated with single cupping combined with cupping 15 ~ 20 minutes to strengthen the spleen, eliminate dampness and resolve phlegm.

The traditional medical weight-loss method is the clinical application of modern people's reasoning on the theory of meridians and viscera, and the lower method is often used to inhibit the feeding function or regulate the hyperactivity of the spleen and stomach in order to achieve the purpose of weight loss. The psychological and suggestive effects of these therapies should not be denied here. Based on the patients' desire to lose weight, these therapies play a suggestive role, prompting patients to consciously control their food intake through patients' operation before hunger or meals, and at the same time, they do cause the regulatory response of hypothalamic feeding center.

The ancients said, "Yin and Yang are secret spirits, even occasionally". When yin and yang are in balance with qi and blood, the stasis, dampness and cold evil in the body will be excreted, so losing weight, removing spots and beautifying are not problems.
