The main focus of this technique is on the Dai Mai (Belt Meridian) and Ren Mai (Conception Meridian).

The Ren meridian runs along the midline of the front of the body, while the Dai meridian encircles the navel, which is the waist area.

Su Ziyang first pressed the Ren meridian. Based on Su Ziyang's current understanding of massage, the technique was very beautiful. His hands flew across the Ren meridian like dancing.

This is precisely the Butterfly Technique.

After massaging the Ren meridian five times, Su Ziyang began massaging Li Mu's waist, with the Dai meridian forming a ring around the waist.

Su Ziyang continued to use the Butterfly Technique to push and knead Li Mu's waist back and forth. After repeating this five times, Li Mu started sweating from the pain.

Su Ziyang discovered that there were many hard nodules in Li Mu's belt meridian. Li Mu would grimace at the slightest touch, which was a sign of blockage.

"Okay! I'll press it to relieve the pressure. Relax! I'll seal the acupoints now; it might feel a little swollen and painful, but it's nothing serious, it won't hurt too much."

Su Ziyang patted Li Mu's stomach and began to apply acupressure to Li Mu's acupoints.

The acupoints used for sealing are Zhongwan (CV12), bilateral Tianshu (ST25), and Qihai (CV6).

(Here, I'll specifically write down the locations of several acupoints.)

Zhongwan acupoint: Located on the anterior midline, four cun above the navel. It is the midpoint of the line connecting the navel and the bifurcation of the ribs.

Tianshu acupoint: Two inches to the side of the navel, which is the width of the joints of your two thumbs, as mentioned in the section on body measurements.

Qihai acupoint: Located on the anterior midline, 1.5 cun below the navel.

After pressing the acupoint with his thumb, Su Ziyang pressed down hard.

"Ouch, it hurts so much!"

Su Ziyang pressed down hard, causing Li Mu to cry out in pain.

But no matter how much Li Mu cried out in pain, Su Ziyang showed no intention of letting go. After silently counting to thirty-six, Su Ziyang slowly released his thumb.

After performing this operation on the Zhongwan acupoint, the same method was then applied to the Zhongwan, Tianshu, and Qihai acupoints.

After the treatment on the abdomen, there are four acupoints on the limbs: Neiguan (PC6) on both sides and Zusanli (ST36) on both sides.

After pressing firmly, silently count to 36.

After completing this entire process, the acupoint sealing is considered finished.

"Alright! I'll do this technique for you once a week. Your appetite will decrease this week, and with your exercise, the effect will be even better!"

Su Ziyang gestured for Li Mu to get up. After getting up, Li Mu stretched his wrist, which was a little sore from Su Ziyang's massage, and said with a smile, "Doctor Su, didn't you say you were going to prescribe some herbal medicine for me? Go ahead and prescribe it, I'm not afraid of bitterness, I can drink Chinese medicine!"

Su Ziyang could tell that Li Mu was really determined to lose weight, "Haha, the medicine isn't bitter. You don't need to brew it yourself. Just get a water cup when you get home and drink it with water!"

"Making tea?" Li Mu said with delight, "Haha, that's great! That makes things even more convenient!"

Su Ziyang nodded, turned on his computer, and prescribed three medicines for Li Mu.

4g of lotus leaf

5g hawthorn

4g of winter melon peel

15 pay.

"I've already prescribed it for you. Just put one dose in a cup of water. Dissolve it until there's no color left, then change the water. You can drink it anytime. If you don't like the taste, just add a little black tea!"

Su Ziyang and Li Mu said.

"Won't adding tea leaves affect the weight loss effect of this diet pill?"

When Li Mu heard Su Ziyang say that he could put in tea leaves, he asked with considerable concern.

"No! No! Don't worry!"

Su Ziyang comforted him.

After Li Mu received a satisfactory answer, Kaixin and Jin Tiantian left.

Obesity has become a problem for many people, and various fast food and fried foods have exacerbated this problem.

The problems caused by obesity are also increasing.

The bones, especially the knees, are the first to suffer. A lot of weight is put on the knees, which will eventually cause knee pain.

Another type of overweight person might say, "I don't feel like I eat that much, but I still gain weight."

Why aren't you hungry? Because if you're overweight, your metabolism slows down, so you'll eat less.

However, prolonged accumulation can create a vicious cycle, leading to weight gain.

In addition, obesity can disrupt a person's normal physiological functions.

For example, it can easily lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, excessive visceral fat, and fatty liver, etc.

It's not that all obese people will get this disease, but rather that the chances are higher.

For example, being overweight in women can affect their fertility, and this is not an exaggeration.

Because obese women make up a large proportion of the population affected by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and once these women successfully lose weight, the disease may resolve itself, and their bodies will naturally regulate themselves.

Shortly after Su Ziyang saw Jin Tiantian and Li Mu off, Song Li suddenly arrived.

"Girl, call me Master!"

Song Li patted his daughter's head, Song Li daughter obediently called out "Master."

Su Ziyang was still not used to it and quickly sat up from the chair.

"Brother Song, what brings you here?"

Su Ziyang felt that Song Li's sudden appearance must have something to say.

"Hey, I don't usually visit unless I need something. Um Ziyang, do you have any weight loss recipes?"

Song Li chuckled and said to Su Ziyang.

"Haha! Yes, but the formula alone might not be as effective. It needs to be combined with a weight loss technique!"

Su Ziyang thought to himself, "This is just a coincidence. I just finished making a prescription and a technique, Song Li suddenly showed up."

"That's great!" Song Li grabbed Su Ziyang's hand and shook it excitedly.

Su Ziyang, unsure of Song Li's excitement, chuckled and said, "Brother Song isn't fat, and neither is your wife. Why are you so excited!"

"Damn! Bro, it wasn't me. To be honest, I recently landed a construction job. The boss there is a fat old woman, but she's incredibly capable. I was thinking of getting to know her, but it turns out she doesn't like anything except losing weight, and according to my intelligence, she's never succeeded; she's always trying!"

Song Li, holding Su Ziyang's hand, said excitedly, "And the money this guy has spent on losing weight is enough to buy several houses in our city! I'm just trying to appeal to his interests. If you have a method that can help him lose weight successfully, then he'll definitely be my friend! I'll definitely arrange it for you then!"

"That's no problem. But I need to see this person!"

Su Ziyang Su Ziyang wasn't particularly interested in Song Li's suggestion to befriend powerful and influential people, but he would be happy if this method could be promoted and benefit more people.

Seeing that Su Ziyang readily agreed, Song Li patted Su Ziyang on the shoulder. "Alright! Brother! I'll arrange the treatment time!"
