Introduction
Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese therapy. For slimming the arms using acupuncture at the Quchi point, the practitioner stabilizes the patient's elbow with one hand, while using the thumb and index finger of the other hand to hold the filiform needle and insert it vertically into the Quchi acupoint. After insertion, the needle should be retained for 10–15 minutes. During this time, lifting, thrusting, and twisting of the needle may be performed, aiming to elicit a local sensation of soreness or distension. It is recommended to visit a qualified hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a professional physician.
Generally speaking, acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine. To slim the arms, the primary acupoint used is Quchi (LI11), which can help burn fat, promote metabolism, and shape the arm contour. The specific procedure is as follows:
1. Locating the acupoint: The patient sits with the elbow bent and placed in front of the chest. At the end of the elbow crease, a depression can be felt—this is the Quchi point.
2. Disinfection: After locating the acupoint, use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to disinfect the area by circling outward from the center of the point, repeating 1–2 times.
3. Insertion: The practitioner uses one hand to stabilize the patient's elbow, while the other hand holds the filiform needle with the thumb and index finger, inserting it vertically into the Quchi point.
4. Retention: Leave the needle in place for 10–15 minutes. During this time, gently lift, insert, and rotate the needle until a local sensation of soreness or distension is achieved.
It should be noted that the effectiveness of acupuncture for slimming the arms varies from person to person, as individual body conditions and symptoms differ. If considering acupuncture for arm slimming, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and undergo treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician.
