Acupuncture weight loss has the best effect on obese adults, and the most suitable age is between 20 and 40. Especially for people with abdominal obesity, through meridian conditioning and acupuncture, the effect of losing weight for people with abdominal fat accumulation is more prominent. Secondly, for obese people who are too wet in the body, acupuncture can induce diuresis and sweat, thus eliminating water dampness and playing a role in losing weight; Some obese people have a strong sense of hunger because of excessive gastric acid secretion, and they always have the urge to eat. Such obese people are also called "stomach fire". The role of acupuncture and moxibustion is to reduce the stomach fire of obese people and reduce or inhibit obesity.
