Obesity has become a global health problem,especially in China.With the rapid economic development and life changes,the number of obese people is increasing rapidly.Abdominal obesity(AO),also known as central obesity,is one of the types that deserve special attention.AO is mainly manifested as the accumulation of abdominal fat,which is closely related to many metabolic diseases,cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and some types of cancer.In recent years,as a traditional Chinese medicine treatment,acupuncture and moxibustion has shown remarkable clinical effect in the treatment of AO.Acupunc-ture and moxibustion can adjust the internal system of human body and improve metabolic function through specific acupoints,so as to reduce body weight and abdominal fat.In addition,electroacupuncture,catgut embedding at acupoints and needle knife ther-apy also show a good therapeutic effect on the disease.This article collated the related articles,which aimed to have a deeper un-derstanding of the mechanism of acupuncture and other special therapies and how to combine these treatments with modern medi-cine,providing physicians with additional therapeutic ideas and approaches and more safe and effective treatment for patients.
