      Doctor Liu Jiayou of the TCM department at the Linsen Chinese Medicine branch of Taipei City Hospital, says that acupoint catgut embedding, together with acupuncture, has become a new choice for many women who seek beauty. There are patients who lose not only weight but also body fat, one month after acupoint catgut embedding. Acupoint catgut embedding can be viewed as an alternative method for people in need of shaping their curves.

      The embedded catgut does not have to be taken out; it will automatically be softened, decomposed and absorbed by the body. You can choose 8 to 12 acupoints for the catgut embedding each time. The implants will function 24 hours a day in the body, with an effective duration of 7 to 15 days. Therefore, Dr. Liu recommends that patients who are on a diet should undergo acupoint catgut embedding once every 1 to 2 weeks until their desired weight is reached. Due to individual differences in physique, you can lose about 3 to 5 kilograms in one month; this is the most appropriate weight loss speed the human heart can bear.

      Basically, the healthy way to lose weight is through a step by step process, together with a balanced diet and moderate exercise. Holistic slimming therapy aims to develop a correct and balanced diet and good exercise habits, to adjust the constitution as well as improve the metabolic rate and endocrine secretion. With the help of specialist physicians and nutritionists, you will not regain weight even after the therapy is over.
