What is the mechanism of acupuncture slimming?
Acupuncture slimming (needling body acupoints and pressing auricular acupoints) can achieve 3 main effects:
(i)
Regulate the Endocrine System: Acupuncture can regulate endocrine disorders in obese patients.
(ii)
Inhibit Appetite: Acupuncture can reduce stomach activities so as to delay gastric emptying and inhibit the secretion of gastric acid which can significantly reduce food intake. At the same time, acupuncture can inhibit the hyperactivities of intestinal absorption.
(iii)
Regulate Lipid Metabolism:
Acupuncture can decline the level of lipid peroxidation in our body and accelerate fat catabolism. In short, by dredging meridians and regulating functions of Zang-Fu Organs, acupuncture can accelerate the metabolic processes and build up a new equilibrium between the body's absorption, synthesis and metabolism to achieve weight loss.
