What Happens To Your Body During CSH Therapy® for Slimming

Losing weight is rarely as simple as eating less or moving more, especially when you’re a busy working adult juggling long hours, high stress, and limited time for exercise. That’s where Absolute Wellness’ signature CSH Therapy® comes in.

It’s a slimming programme that blends centuries-old Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) wisdom with modern wellness strategies, including cupping massage in Singapore, all designed to help you lose weight naturally and sustainably. But what exactly happens to your body during the treatment?

This article will help you learn all about CSH Therapy® for slimming, including what to expect.

What is CSH Therapy®

Absolute Wellness’ CSH Therapy® is a non-invasive slimming treatment that combines cupping and scraping therapy with heat treatment to stimulate the body’s natural detox and fat-burning processes. The name CSH originates from the 3 signature techniques involved in producing fast, natural yet sustainable results for weight loss.

Rooted in traditional Chinese wellness practices, this therapy targets stubborn fat areas while addressing the body’s internal imbalances, without crash diets or hardcore workouts. It’s been tailored to suit the urban Singaporean lifestyle, where stress, late-night eating, and inactivity often contribute to weight gain.

Cupping Therapy

This treatment, also known as ba guan, utilises cups to create suction along acupuncture points to loosen tissue and enhance oxygenated blood flow. Through the stimulation of acupoints and the movement of those points along lymphatic channels, cupping therapy encourages weight loss and whole-body toning. 

The process repairs cells and restores metabolic function while also safely and naturally burning surface and visceral fat.

Scraping Therapy (gua sha)

Using smooth, crescent-shaped tools, scraping therapy aims to stimulate blood and lymph circulation. The gliding motion of the tool during a gua sha massage disperses stagnant blood underneath the skin and stimulates blood flow in the target area, complementing the effects of cupping therapy.

Heat Treatment

Heat treatment is more than just warmth. This treatment applies indirect heat to target localised fats, helping to dissipate stubborn fat in challenging problem areas, such as the upper arms, hips, waist, and thighs. This further enhances the slimming and contouring effects, while also stimulating blood flow and promoting stress relief and relaxation.

What Makes CSH Therapy® Effective for Slimming

Unlike trendy diet plans or one-size-fits-all gym routines, CSH Therapy® takes a holistic, body-first approach. Weight loss can be effortless and enjoyable with our signature 3-step slimming treatment.

In Singapore’s fast-paced environment, it’s common for adults to overlook body signals, like inflammation, bloating, or poor circulation. The CSH Therapy® tackles these issues head-on, helping to reset your body’s internal systems, from digestion to lymphatic drainage. This is particularly useful for individuals who have tried multiple weight loss methods without achieving lasting results.

The Core Techniques Behind CSH Therapy®

Think of CSH Therapy® as a 3-part approach that works in synergy to target stubborn fat and improve overall wellness. Each step – cupping, scraping, and heat treatment – plays a unique role in supporting your slimming journey.

Cupping Massage: Stimulating Circulation and Lymphatic Flow

During the cupping massage step in Singapore, suction cups are used in combination with gentle, rhythmic movements to help stimulate lymphatic flow and blood circulation in problem areas. For those dealing with excess fluids or weak metabolism, this part of the therapy can feel both invigorating and energising. The suction also loosens visceral fat, enhancing metabolic efficiency for your body.

Scraping Therapy: Clearing Stagnation and Enhancing Detox

A lotion will be applied to the target areas to prevent irritation to the skin. Then, the scraping tool, also known as the gua sha tool, is applied to the body using lengthy, downward strokes of controlled pressure. This stimulates blood and lymph circulation, easing muscle tension at the same time.

Heat Application: Targeting Stubborn Fat with Indirect Warmth

Although heat treatment may sound intimidating, only indirect heat is used in this step. A medicated cream is applied to the target area on the body, which will boost the fat-burning process. Then, a specially treated towel is placed over this area and safely lit with fire. This will only burn on the surface of the towel, protecting your skin from direct contact with the flame. Rest assured that this is a safe and comfortable process, producing a gentle, warm sensation similar to that of a steam sauna.

What Happens to Your Body during CSH Therapy®

So, what does your body actually experience when going through CSH Therapy®? To put it simply: a lot – but all of it is good. As each session progresses, your circulatory system ramps up, your metabolism kicks in, and your body starts clearing out toxins more efficiently. Many report feeling lighter, less bloated, and more energised, even after just a few sessions.

Applying the Cups: What You’ll Feel During Cupping Massage

When the cups are applied, you might feel a pulling sensation. This is the skin being gently lifted to stimulate the underlying tissues. The increased circulation helps bring oxygen and nutrients to the area, while moving stagnant fluids away. You may see temporary marks, but they’re not bruises; they’re signs of toxins rising to the surface, and a natural part of the healing process.

Scraping With Purpose: What the Therapist Does and Why

As the therapist scrapes your skin in strategic motions, you may experience tingling or warmth. This is your body’s reaction to the sudden increase in blood flow and lymphatic drainage. Internally, your immune and circulatory systems are responding, helping to flush out toxins and reduce inflammation. The scraping also helps relieve muscle tension and connective tissue.

Heat Activation: The Final Step to Boost Metabolism

During heat application, your body goes into a state of deep relaxation. This allows your nervous system to reset, lower stress levels, and facilitate the breakdown of fat. As your internal temperature rises slightly, your metabolic functions speed up, helping your body burn calories more efficiently, even after the session ends.
