    Mud moxibustion can help lose weight by applying it to acupuncture points or the abdomen, but the effect is not ideal for obese people with spleen deficiency and dampness, because the effect is not ideal for obese people with strong stomach heat, yin deficiency and excessive fire, yin and yang deficiency, qi stagnation and blood stasis. Mud moxibustion is prepared from mineral mud and Chinese herbal powders such as saffron, Chuanxiong, Eucommia ulmoides, and locust. It has obvious warming and refreshing effects on the human body's yang energy.

    1. Acupuncture points

    Acupoints such as Fenglong, Hegu, Taichong, Zusanli, Yinlingquan, Sanyinjiao, Zhongwan, and Tianshu can be stimulated by mud moxibustion to increase the body's basal metabolism and promote fat metabolism, thereby achieving the goal of weight loss.;

    3. Abdomen

    It can be applied on the abdomen to stimulate acupuncture points such as Zhongwan and Tianshu. At the same time, mud moxibustion has a warming nature, which can restore the function of the spleen and stomach to metabolize water and moisture, and then allow the moisture to be discharged from the body, thereby achieving the purpose of losing weight.

    Because the scope of mud moxibustion is relatively wide and the positioning accuracy of acupoints is not high, it is recommended that people who want to lose weight choose the corresponding acupoints according to the specific situation under the guidance of a doctor to achieve better therapeutic effects. At the same time, they can also lose weight through acupuncture, moxibustion, mud moxibustion and other methods. You should also pay attention to diet control and avoid eating too many greasy and sweet foods, such as fried foods, various sweets, drinks, etc. In addition, physical exercise should be strengthened to promote physical consumption, which is more conducive to weight loss.
