The range of application of acupuncture is very wide and continues to expand. More recently, the method has been used in the treatment of excessive weight and cellulite. And traditionally acupuncture, recognized by the official medicine as a therapeutic procedure, is used in the treatment of neurological, digestive, urinary and cardiovascular diseases.
The essence of acupuncture
During the procedure, thin needles of different length are introduced under the skin, the thickness of which varies within about one-tenth of a millimeter. These needles are made of metals that do not react with substances of the body that are not susceptible to oxidation. This is silver, stainless steel and gold.
The meaning of all actions is that the needles enter points that are in a special way connected with our internal organs, and this connection does not depend on the mutual arrangement of the organ and the point of acupuncture. They can be located in completely different points of the body, far enough from each other. The operator, the doctor who conducts the procedure, which is sometimes called acupuncture, knows the relationship between the points of acupuncture and internal organs, knows the location of the points on the "map" of the surface of our body. He introduces needles to the right points, from which nervous nodes are excited. Impulses from the nodes go to the appropriate organs and restore there blood circulation and metabolic processes - metabolism.
During the procedure, it is necessary to be in a prone position, the procedure continues for half an hour, but after the exposure and removal of needles, it is necessary to lie down for a while, which is what the doctor will tell. The number of sessions and the intensity of exposure will also be determined by the doctor.

The principle of action of acupuncture for weight loss
Acupuncture contributes to the normalization of metabolism - the metabolism in the body. These changes cause a decrease in appetite, respectively, a decrease in the volume of the stomach due to the intake of less food. At the same time, there is a more active exchange and elimination of liquids, toxins, "burning out" of fats. To get the proper effect from acupuncture, you should set a diet, in which food is taken in small portions of 5-6 meals per day. To tighten the muscles and "burn" the fat, physical exercises are also necessary.
Acupuncture or acupuncture is used to treat excess weight or to lose weight by three methods:
the Faleva method
the Mukhina method
the classical method
The Faleva Method
According to the method of Falev, the doctor works on the point regulating the feelings of hunger and satiety, which is located just above the ear lobe. The impact is produced by a needle with a thickness of 2 mm, which has a round flat tip. The needle is placed at the point of exposure for a period of two weeks to one month, fixed with a patch. It is possible to repeat the course as directed by the doctor.
When installing the needle, the sign of correct choice of the point is considered to be a slight pain, which is felt by pressing the center of the needle. 10-15 minutes before meals, you need to press the needle for one minute, getting into the rhythm of the heartbeats. As a result, the pathological appetite decreases, food intake decreases, weight decreases. At the end of the course, the needle is removed.
The Mukhina Method
The method consists in reducing appetite and normalizing the exchange through the action on the active point with a needle made of gold. The point is located above the lobe of the ear, the needle is inserted until it passes through and is closed with a cap. Such needles are made even with stones and rhinestones.
The period of the needle's stay in the active site can be up to six months, the doctor's consultation is required periodically, with an interval of 30-45 days, since it is necessary to monitor the state of health and the results of exposure. There are facts of losing weight by 30-35 kg. During the course, it is recommended to give up food with a high content of calories, reduce the intake of carbohydrates, alcohol. Active sport activities are useful, contributing to the release of energy and tightening of the skin and muscles.
The classical method
When applying the classical method, ordinary needles for acupuncture during the session are installed in the active points of the abdomen and legs. The essence is to activate the stomach, liver and kidneys to actively remove excess tissue and exclude the craving for excessive intake of food.
The procedure is carried out for 40-45 minutes every other day or every day in the amount of 10-15 sessions. It is possible to hold a session lasting 30-60 minutes. The course is prophylactically repeated six months later, possibly after a few months. Weight loss is possible within 5-7% per course.
Application of Su Jok technique and weight loss
The use of the Su Jok technique is limited by the impact on the active points of the feet and hands. It is possible to apply Su Jok in two ways:
Influence on energy information displays of the patient's physical body, reflecting the state of the whole organism, through certain active points associated with internal organs.
The impact on the energy active areas of the fingers and toes associated with internal organs, the influence on the intracellular processes of the body is called the metaphysical method.
