How much weight can be lost in one course of acupuncture weight loss? How many times can acupuncture weight loss be treated in one course?

Acupuncture weight loss is a very popular weight loss program nowadays. It stimulates acupuncture points to achieve the purpose of weight loss. It also applies some principles of traditional Chinese medicine, so it is very healthy. So how much weight can you lose in a month with acupuncture?

Acupuncture is very effective in reducing weight, and you can lose 5-10 pounds in about 1 month. However, if you do not stick to a reasonable diet, the fat you lose will grow back again. Therefore, I personally recommend that you stop acupuncture treatment after 1 month, because the weight loss effect has been initially shown, and the last 1-2 months is the consolidation period. You should standardize your diet, eat less high-sugar and high-fat foods, and then reduce the rebound effect through continuous exercise, so that the results of acupuncture weight loss can be consolidated. In the process of acupuncture weight loss, dieting is inevitable, and if you exercise properly, the weight loss effect will be better.

Generally, acupuncture weight loss is performed once a week, and a course of treatment is about 10-15 times. This needs to be adjusted according to the specific situation of the patient. In order to achieve the ideal effect of acupuncture weight loss, in addition to multiple treatments, the patient also needs to choose a regular institution for weight loss.

Acupuncture weight loss is considered to be the use of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture methods to lose weight. Compared with other weight loss methods, it has the advantages of being painless, having no side effects, and simple treatment methods. Acupuncture weight loss can not only achieve the effect of weight loss, but also regulate gastrointestinal function, improve body metabolism, and improve endocrine system function.

When it comes to the time it takes for acupuncture to take effect, it actually varies from person to person. Everyone's physique and problems are different, so the results achieved after a course of treatment are also different. Generally speaking, weight loss will be more obvious in the first month of acupuncture. In the next two months or even longer, the body will be in a state of adjustment and weight changes will become smaller.

Acupuncture for weight loss also requires persistence. If you want to achieve a good effect, try to do it for more than half a year. Because after the body has adjusted, the weight will drop steadily again. In addition, the effect will be more obvious only when combined with diet and exercise.

1. Avoid excessive frequency and ruthlessness that may cause acupoint fatigue

Acupuncture for weight loss is indeed effective for simple obesity caused by metabolic disorders, but if the needling is too frequent or too intense, acupoint fatigue will occur, which is clinically called increased tolerance.

When experienced acupuncturists are giving people longer courses of treatment, they will consider changing acupoints, rather than piercing the same group of points every time, consciously trying to avoid "acupoint fatigue" in the body. Because once tolerance is built up, the touch of the points will become abnormal, and even if the intensity of the stimulation is increased, the effect will not be as good as before.

2. Acupuncture and moxibustion practitioners should be aware of their qualifications

At present, many weight loss institutions that only hold "Life Beauty Care Certificate" and fail to show "Medical Institution Practice License" are also carrying out medical projects such as acupuncture weight loss, which is illegal. Lin Shaozhen reminds consumers to pay attention to self-protection when choosing acupuncture weight loss, and check whether the selected beauty salon or weight loss institution holds "Medical Institution Practice License" and whether the person who gives the acupuncture holds "Doctor Qualification Certificate" and "Doctor Practice Certificate".
