Is Massage Weight Loss Harmful to the Body?

Massage weight loss is harmless to the body. The principle of weight loss is to achieve the goal of reducing weight by burning fat. Massaging some acupoints with weight loss effects can stimulate the body's automatic regulation function. It is a safe and non-toxic weight loss method without the side effects of weight loss drugs. Moreover, some acupoints have the effect of health preservation and can prolong life, such as Zusanli. Massage can also relieve fatigue and promote blood circulation. It is recommended to drink a cup of hot water after massage to help eliminate toxins and benefit the body.

Correct Techniques for Massage Weight Loss

Firstly, massage the side abdomen to stimulate intestinal peristalsis. Cross your hands over your waist (thumb at the back and other four fingers in front), and use the fingertips of your 10 fingers to massage the side abdomen in a pinching and rubbing manner. Repeat this for 20 times with the same rhythm to effectively stimulate intestinal peristalsis and activity, which can help with bowel movements.

Secondly, massage the waist to sculpt the S-curve. Cross your hands over your waist (thumb at the back and other four fingers in front), and slowly move your thumb forward along the waistline (remember to apply force). Then, use the thumb and the fingertips of the other four fingers to pinch the flesh on the side of the abdomen. Repeat this 10 times, shaping the waistline into a hourglass curve using the thumb.

Thirdly, perform clockwise circular massage on the abdomen. Take an appropriate amount of body lotion in your palm, warm it up with the temperature of your palm, and apply it from the abdomen to the waist. Use the fingertips of your index, middle, and ring fingers to draw circles clockwise around the navel. Repeat this 10 times. You will feel a soothing sensation in your abdomen afterwards. If you don't feel anything, you can increase the pressure.

In fact, massage weight loss has no side effects on the human body unless incorrect massage techniques cause harm to the internal organs. However, massage weight loss has high requirements for the masseur's techniques. If the techniques are incorrect, the weight loss effect will be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a qualified massage clinic for massage weight loss.
