Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of stimulating Twelve Meridional Dermomeres though moving cupping therapy on obesity Methods: We stimulated abdomen and upper arms in equational strength by using cups for 30minutes a week. It was totally ten times from April 2011 to June 2011. We checked body composition, body measuring and serum lipid test before procedure and after 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th procedure. Results: Body composition and abdomen and upper arms measuring were significantly decreased compared before procedure with after. TG in serum lipid test was significantly decreased but TC, LDL-c and HDL-c in serum lipid test were not significantly decreased. Conclusions: Body composition and body measuring weren't decreased a wide variation, but it was a significant decrease. So it is effective on obesity stimulating Twelve Meridional Dermomeres though moving cupping therapy.
