Obesity is a serious health problem and is characterized by contribution of abdominal subcutaneous fat accumulation which has been associated with meal structure and diet composition like additional intake of processed foods and fewer physical activities.

Over 50% of Americans are overweight with 20% classified as obese(body mass index>30kg/m2). In Korea, according to 2010 Korean Adults National Health and Nutrition Survey, 31% of Korean adults are obese. Reasons for obesity vary and may include an unbalanced diet, genetics, social and economic factors, insufficient exercise, endocrine disorders, and a variety of mental and emotional disorders. The problem caused by obesity is various chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, hypercholesterolemia, cardiac disease, and cerebrovascular disease. Furthermore, health concerns regarding obesity take into consideration the amount of fat and its distribution. Visceral fat tissue, placed within the peritoneum, peritoneum and encompassing organ, provides free fatty acids and leads to fat deposition within the liver.

 

In general, primary methods for resolving obesity are drugs, exercise, diet, and behavior modification therapy. More recently the potential value of oriental medicine approaches, such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, electro acupuncture and acupressure has become apparent. On these methods, acupuncture is one of the most popular alternative therapies, and it has been used to treat obesity for thousands of years. Besides, electro acupuncture is in which an electric wave is passed through acupuncture needles. The parameters of the electro acupuncture can be precisely characteristic and the results are reproducible.

According to oriental medicine, obesity is a disease arising from qi and blood stagnation and its source is phlegm-dampness. The mechanism of oriental medicine is a slow process of coordinating the human vitality, and that it happens with the combination of acupuncture and herbal medicine for two to three months period.

Meridian is a combination of Jing and Luo channel, and it is a way of qi and blood flow. Within the body it communicates up and down, inside and outside, and carries the blood of the whole body and harmonizes the yin and yang to control the functional activity. Because the human body is a living organism, if the meridian is clogged, various diseases can be occurred.Meridian Therapy refers to the technique of applying constant and moderate pressure to the acupuncture points. It is a way to smooth the flow of body meridians, which is the passage of blood and the energy flowing through the human body. It also promotes the natural healing power of the physiological function and pathological changes of the human organ system.
