1. The principle of acupuncture weight loss

Acupuncture weight loss is a popular weight loss method in modern society. This method of weight loss accelerates the body's metabolism through precise stimulation of certain acupuncture points on the human body, reduces gastric activity, and prolongs gastric emptying time, which in turn reduces the body's appetite, thereby reducing food intake and achieving calorie control. At the same time, it can stimulate the body's metabolism and accelerate it, which can effectively help burn and decompose fat in the body, so that negative calorie intake can be achieved and the body will lose weight. Of course, if you combine exercise and diet to lose weight, the effect will be even better.

2. Acupuncture and moxibustion for weight loss cannot be performed during menstruation

Menstruation is a special physiological period for women. Acupuncture for weight loss cannot be performed during this period. This is because if acupuncture is performed during menstruation, it may stimulate the human body to increase or decrease the amount of menstruation, or even stimulate the female body to prolong or shorten the menstrual period. Whether the menstrual flow increases or decreases, and whether the menstrual period is prolonged or shortened, depends on the acupoints stimulated and the accuracy of the stimulation. Therefore, it is best for women not to use injections to lose weight during menstruation. If you must use acupuncture to lose weight, you can do it outside of the menstrual period.

Can acupuncture help lose weight during menstruation? From the above introduction, we can know that acupuncture and moxibustion cannot be used for weight loss during menstruation. Acupuncture and moxibustion for weight loss must be avoided during menstruation.
