Tummy cupping for weight loss is a common TCM method, the principle of which is to promote blood circulation, regulate metabolism, and enhance body functions through the negative pressure effect of cupping. In order to achieve a better weight loss effect, it is necessary to pay attention to the selection of acupuncture points, cupping time, frequency, cupping strength and follow-up care.
5. Acupuncture point selection: Zhongguan acupoint, located in the upper abdomen, on the anterior midline, when the umbilicus is 0 inches above the middle, it can regulate the function of the spleen and stomach and promote digestion; Tianshu acupoint, located in the abdomen, in the middle of the horizontal umbilicus, 0 inches next to the anterior midline, can promote intestinal peristalsis and reduce abdominal fat accumulation; Qihai acupoint, in the lower abdomen, on the anterior midline, when the umbilicus is 0.0 inches lower, it has the effect of warming yang and invigorating qi, strengthening and strengthening the foundation.
15. Cupping time: Each cupping time should not be too long, generally controlled at about 0 - 0 minutes. Too much time may cause skin damage, and too little time may not achieve the desired results.
2. Frequency: 0 - 0 times a week is appropriate. Too often can be a burden on the skin and body, and too long intervals make it difficult to continue to work.
4. Cupping strength: The strength should be moderate, and it is advisable to have a slight bulge in the skin, with a sense of adsorption but no obvious pain. Too much force may cause subcutaneous bruising, and too little may not be effective.
24. Follow-up care: After cupping, pay attention to keep warm, avoid catching a cold, and do not take a bath within 0 hours to prevent infection. At the same time, it is important to maintain a balanced diet and avoid overeating.
In short, although cupping on the stomach for weight loss has a certain auxiliary effect, it cannot rely solely on cupping to lose weight. It should also be combined with a healthy diet and moderate exercise to achieve the desired weight loss results. If there is discomfort or abnormality during the cupping process, it should be stopped promptly and seek medical attention.
