What is the Acupoint Thread Embedding Method for Weight Loss?

As people's living standards improve, the number of obese patients is increasing. Obesity is not a good thing, so losing weight has become the primary consideration for obese patients. There are many ways to lose weight, such as dieting, exercising, liposuction, etc. Acupoint thread embedding is also a method of weight loss. It is an evolved version of acupuncture weight loss. Let's take a look at its specific principles and practices.

principle

Thread embedding for weight loss is an extension and development of acupuncture for weight loss and is a modified form of acupuncture.

It uses a thread embedding device to implant protein magnetized wires into the corresponding acupuncture points, and the wire body produces a sustained and effective stimulation to the acupuncture points (the wire is naturally dissolved and absorbed in the body within 10 days to 3 months) to achieve the purpose of weight loss. This method requires thread embedding once every 15 days or so, saving obese patients the trouble and pain of having a needle every day. It is the preferred weight loss method for busy modern people.

Acupoint thread embedding for weight loss is based on the individual differences of patients, different symptoms, and different obesity mechanisms. It conducts reasonable and effective syndrome differentiation and selection of acupoints, and embeds protein magnetized wires and surgical catgut (threads instead of needles, long-lasting needle sensation) into the corresponding acupoints to achieve the effects of "strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, unblocking the meridians, warming the middle and dispersing cold, and harmonizing yin and yang, qi and blood", thereby adjusting the patient's autonomic nervous and endocrine functions.

Implant materials

The embedded thread therapy uses materials to implant into acupuncture points to create long-term stimulation similar to the "leaving needle" in acupuncture (producing a long-lasting needle sensation) to achieve effective treatment of diseases, which requires suitable stimulation materials. When thread embedment therapy appeared in the 1960s, there were relatively few implant materials to choose from, so autologous tissue, animal tissue, and catgut were mostly used. Although these materials are readily available, they are unhygienic in application, prone to infection, and inconvenient to use. The development of modern biomedical materials has provided a large number of materials that can be used for implantation in vivo. These materials can retain the appropriate stimulation time and produce appropriate stimulation intensity in the body. After surface functionalization, they can also enhance safety and play a better therapeutic role. Polylactic acid-glycolic acid PLGA (medical collagen) is the most commonly used biomedical material. After rigorous processing, its biological characteristics can be fully used as a new generation of thread embedding weight loss material.

Taboo

Acupoint thread embedding for weight loss requires syndrome differentiation and selection of acupoints based on individual differences of the dieter and the cause of obesity, and then the magnetized protein wire (also known as "biological protein wire", which is the medical "catgut" used to suture wounds during surgery) is implanted into the corresponding acupoints using a thread embedding device.

These threads "buried" in the body will be naturally dissolved and absorbed by the human body within 15 days to 3 months. They can dredge the human meridians, harmonize Qi and blood, improve autonomic nervous system dysfunction and endocrine disorders, inhibit gastrointestinal digestion and absorption and hyperactivity of appetite in obese people, thereby reducing calorie intake. At the same time, they stimulate and activate the sluggish autonomic nervous system of obese people, promote the decomposition and consumption of body fat, and achieve the goal of weight loss.

Acupoint thread embedding also has certain therapeutic effects on insomnia, forgetfulness, fatigue, soreness of waist and knees, irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea.

Nursing

After thread embedding for weight loss, in order to prevent infection, the acupoints where the threads have been embedded must not come into contact with water. You cannot take a bath on the first day, and you can only take a bath on the second day. After taking a bath, you can remove the covering tape.

1. It will be quite painful in the first two or three days, and the degree will vary depending on the individual. Pay attention to rest and the pain will be relieved soon.

2. If you have diarrhea several times, it means your body is eliminating toxins. Do not take antidiarrheal medicine.

3. If there are bruises on the thread embedding site a few days later, it is because the small capillaries bleed and cause subcutaneous hemorrhage during the thread embedding. Don't be nervous, it will be absorbed and dissipated on its own after one or two weeks. Hot compress can speed up the absorption.

4. You may have a low fever after thread embedding, but it will go away in a day or two and no medication is needed.

5. Some mild allergies may cause a small red rash. You can take Astemizole or leave it alone and it will heal on its own.
