Hot compress on the stomach with medication may have a certain auxiliary effect on weight loss, but the effect varies from person to person. Hot compress with medication mainly helps to reduce fat by promoting local blood circulation and accelerating metabolism, but it cannot directly break down fat. Losing weight requires a combination of scientific methods such as dietary control and exercise to achieve ideal results. The principle of

hot compress on the abdomen is to use warm stimulation and the action of drug ingredients to raise the temperature of the abdominal skin, promote local blood circulation, and help alleviate abdominal fat accumulation. Some medicine packages contain traditional Chinese medicinal herbs such as mugwort leaves and safflower, which help promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and improve abdominal microcirculation. During the hot compress process, it may accelerate local water metabolism and slightly reduce waist circumference in the short term, but this is not a true reduction in fat. After hot compress, it is necessary to replenish water in a timely manner to avoid dehydration.

Hot compress with medication may have a more significant effect on some people with weak constitution and slow metabolism, who often have problems with poor circulation of qi and blood. However, for individuals with simple obesity or high visceral fat, it is difficult to achieve significant weight loss effects solely through hot compress. Excessive reliance on hot compress for weight loss may delay the scientific timing of weight loss, and even cause skin sensitivity or burns due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Individuals with special constitutions or sensitive skin should consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for advice before use.

Weight loss requires establishing a healthy lifestyle, and it is recommended to develop personalized weight loss plans under professional guidance. Reasonably controlling daily calorie intake, increasing aerobic exercise and strength training, and ensuring adequate sleep are more effective methods than simple hot compress. Medicated hot compress can be used as an auxiliary method, but it should not be used as the main weight loss method. If skin discomfort occurs during use, stop immediately and consult a doctor for advice. Long term effects still need to be maintained through dietary adjustments and regular exercise.
