How much do you know about acupoint catgut embedding weight loss therapy in traditional Chinese medicine?
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 corresponding acupoints with a silk embedding device, and to achieve the purpose of losing weight by continuously and effectively stimulating acupoints through the silk body (silk naturally dissolves and absorbs in the body 15 days to 3 months). This method embeds the thread 1 time in 15 days, which avoids the trouble and pain of "acupuncture" once a day for obese patients and is the first choice for busy modern people to lose weight. Acupoint catgut embedding therapy in traditional Chinese medicine is suitable for people. Acupoint catgut embedding therapy is widely used. At present, it is mainly used to treat acne, chloasma, obesity and human fatigue syndrome. Adapt to modern people with high work pressure and fast pace of life. Acupoint catgut embedding therapy can regulate human meridians and make them smooth. The twelve meridians of human body is connected with viscera internally and reaches limbs externally. For example, patients with spleen deficiency and phlegm-dampness will not only cause chloasma, but also lead to obesity and symptoms of human fatigue syndrome. As long as they strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis, these conditions can be alleviated. In the course of treatment, the operator will rationally regulate liver and kidney, nourish liver and kidney, and replenish qi and blood according to clinical symptoms, so as to dredge meridians and harmonize qi and blood, so as to achieve the purpose of treating different diseases at the same time. Acupoint catgut embedding also has a certain effect on insomnia, forgetfulness, fatigue, soreness of waist and knees, irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea. However, this diet is not perfect. Professor Liu Bingquan from the Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion of Guangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine reminded consumers that this therapy is a new medical therapy, and its efficacy has not been effectively verified by the state. When choosing this therapy, you must consult a professional doctor in advance. Children, pregnant women, patients with skin diseases and infectious diseases should not use it. In addition, individuals will have adverse reactions after catgut embedding, such as local redness, bloating, high fever and allergic reactions. In the west, the "thread embedding to lose weight" surgery uses disposable steel needles, and domestic regular hospitals also advocate "one needle for one person". The used steel needles have to be disinfected by professional high-pressure steam. However, some small individual beauty salons just soak steel needles in alcohol for disinfection, which can only kill bacteria, but they are "helpless" against viruses such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and AIDS. Therefore, consumers should never go to the "three noes" beauty shop to "bury the thread to lose weight". To lose weight by embedding catgut (Chinese medicine), attention should be paid to: 1, strict aseptic operation should be carried out to prevent infection, and catgut No.1 should be buried under the skin to a certain depth. 2. Choose the angle and depth of embedding thread according to different parts, so as to prevent internal organs, spinal cord, great vessels and nerves from being injured, so as to avoid adverse consequences. 3. The same acupoint cannot be used repeatedly during the treatment. 4. Don't take a bath on the day of embedding.
