As with all things affecting health & beauty, companies develop new potions & treatments on a seemingly never-ending platform of promises and expectations.

And as with all things medical, there is no magic bullet. We need to accept that no single pill will ever fix any issue – we need to address all aspects – external & internal – causes, aggravations, allergies, weaknesses, diet AND associated health issues. Trying to fix cellulite without addressing other health issues will result in the problem returning and increasing. Likewise, trying to address the health issues without working on what has appeared as an external (and internal!) manifestation will result in health issues not only perpetuating, but mutating. The following gives arguments on the reasons why these modalities should be used within a Wholistic health & beauty regimen.

1. ACUPUNCTURE :

With the intention of tonifying, stimulating & draining the systems regulating the

Areas affected by cellulite, patients are either needled or treated using a

Needle-free apparatus to the ensuing points.

Treatment is carried out weekly; however, patients are to be instructed on basic

Acupressure in order to continue treatment daily. Finger-point can be used, or an

Acupuncture apparatus is quite appropriate :

UB 20 (Pishu) Useful for gastro-intestinal disorders,

Oedema, & soft tissue disorders.

GB 34 (Yanglingchuan) Useful for Muscle & tendon disorders &

Malfunction of gallbladder.

SP 9 (Yinlingchuan) Useful for oedema & ascites.

SP 6 (Sanyinjiao) Tonification point; lower limb & muscle

disorders.

ST 36 (Zusanli) General tonification point; obesity,

Affections of lower limb.

CV 5(Shimen) Oedema & ascites.

CV 9(Shuifen) Oedema & ascites.

SJ 20 (Jiasun) Disorders of endocrine system

Ex. 35 (Tannang) Poor gall bladder & liver function.

Using a point detector, the following regions were particularly affected -

Lower abdomen Inner thigh

Lower minus Gastrocnemius

Outer thigh Inner ankle

Soft tissue above knee Outer ankle

Tricep Inner
