Cellulite is caused by the storage of subcutaneous fat, water retention and lymphatic congestion. This unpleasant trio causes the skin to appear lumpy, with irregular fatty deposits and dimpled skin. These fat deposits are primarily around a women’s hips, buttocks, and thighs.
The combination of acupuncture and cupping is a safe and natural way to help reduce and eliminate cellulite. Acupuncture deals with cellulite at its source, by nourishing connective skin tissues from within, while the cupping is effective in stimulating the fascia and breaking up the dormant cellulite.
How does Acupuncture Reduce Cellulite?
Cellulite tackled with acupuncture.
Deficient spleen energy, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, can cause poor digestive function, and is often the root cause of excess weight and cellulite. Therefore, acupuncture will strengthen the spleen energy, while increasing the digestive efficiency of the stomach and spleen functions. The addition of cupping, which acts as a physical stimulation to break up the stubborn lumps of fatty deposits, completes the treatment.
This treatment is designed to cleanse and improve circulation, as well as firm up and improve skin tone, with a focus on the problem areas.
When improved nutrition is added to the mix, the “healthy trio” may defeat the unwanted cellulite.
