Ma Kuang MKB TCM Wellness Centre uses time-tested treatments and herbal concoctions to help you manage your weight.
Mention traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and chances are, established therapies such as acupuncture, tui na (a therapeutic form of massage) and cupping come to mind.
That TCM strengthens one’s constitution for optimal health, relieves aches and pains, and even alleviates acute symptoms of certain diseases is common knowledge. Lesser known, though, is the fact that TCM can also help in weight management.
Certified TCM centre Ma Kuang MKB TCM Wellness Centre believes it has the ideal treatment to complement your weight-loss efforts: the Abdominal Detox Massage, which purportedly reduces body fat and encourages the elimination of waste without the use of medication.
Massage your way to your ideal figure
The Abdominal Detox Massage is done entirely by hand, and utilises various massage techniques and essential oils to stimulate the stomach meridians (the pathways along which one’s qi, or life force, is said to flow). This is meant to improve lymphatic drainage, facilitate detoxification and tone the area.
The treatment is also said to regulate hormonal secretions, improve metabolism, and relieve bloating, indigestion and constipation. It is claimed that the gentle massage can even improve certain gynaecological conditions and health problems.
Health is the top priority here
To spare you from the side effects typically associated with slimming medication, only herbal concoctions are used to complement the massage. These all-natural remedies encourage weight loss and are prescribed by a registered TCM practitioner.
At Ma Kuang MKB TCM Wellness Centre, all customers first undergo a detailed consultation and body analysis. Treatments are then recommended based on one’s age and health condition. Health advice will also be dispensed accordingly.
Disclaimer: Results vary. There is no scientific proof that a slimming programme can achieve permanent weight loss, except when accompanied by a balanced diet and regular exercise.
