How does weight loss work?

Weight loss works based on “calories in, calories out”, i.e., you need to be burning more calories than you take in through your daily food intake. The key to managing your weight successfully is in ensuring that the calories that you consume do not exceed the calories that you use. There are also other factors to consider such as your age, body type and metabolism, on top of lifestyle factors such as your daily habits that all come into play into weight gain or loss.

What is the best weight loss treatment?

There are plenty of weight loss treatments available, but TCM slimming is one of the safest and best ways to lose weight. Our Divine Slim TM weight loss program encourages steady weight loss for effective and sustainable weight management. As compared to fad diets (diets that eliminate 1 or more food groups) that leave you feeling hungry and lethargic, or having to rely on machines to see results, our methods are backed by sound TCM principles that focus on facilitating your weight loss goals as well as cater to your overall health needs.

How does TCM help me lose weight?

Following the perspective that excessive weight gain is a symptom of a greater underlying health problem that needs to be addressed, TCM believes that excessive weight gain is due to a Qi deficiency in the spleen, resulting in a slow metabolism, water retention and weight gain. Using Guasha, a form of treatment used in the practice of TCM, special apparatus is used to attain preventive or therapeutic slimming effects. Not only does the treatment regulate blood circulation and detoxify the body, but it also improves your metabolism and digestion for slimming effects. No need for painful surgery, unnecessary machines or intensive diets!

Why should I choose TCM slimming over other weight loss methods?

TCM slimming focuses on returning your body to a balanced, healthy state – so, you can look forward to not only looking good but also feeling good about yourself! Although our weight loss program will help you achieve results, it is important to stay committed to investing in your overall health by paying close attention to your diet and exercise, both during the treatment and post-treatment. Our weight loss treatments are conducted by trained staff that does most of the work for you, so you can look forward to a relaxing treatment.

Who can benefit from TCM slimming treatment?

What Makes TCM Slimming Treatments Ideal for Women Over 30

Reaching your 30s often marks a significant shift in how your body manages weight and overall health. Many women find that the once straightforward process of losing weight becomes more complex due to natural metabolic changes, fluctuating hormones, and increasing life responsibilities. This is why Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) slimming treatments have become increasingly popular as a holistic and effective alternative to typical weight loss methods.

Why Conventional Weight Loss Methods May Not Work Long-Term

Many women over 30 have likely experienced the frustration of trying crash diets, fad programs, or weight loss supplements. While these can sometimes offer quick, visible results, they often come at a cost. Restrictive diets can slow down your metabolism, cause nutrient deficiencies, and disrupt hormonal balance—factors that are especially critical after 30. The body begins to respond differently to stress and calorie deficits, sometimes holding onto fat as a survival mechanism.

Moreover, these conventional methods tend to ignore the underlying health conditions and internal imbalances that contribute to weight gain. For women juggling busy careers, family life, and personal wellness, it’s essential to adopt a more sustainable, balanced approach.

The TCM Philosophy: Treating the Root, Not Just the Symptoms

Traditional Chinese Medicine takes a fundamentally different approach by focusing on restoring the body’s natural harmony. According to TCM, weight gain and difficulty losing weight often stem from imbalances in the internal organs—particularly the spleen, liver, and kidneys—and disruptions in Qi (energy) flow.

Weight loss treatment using TCM techniques is designed to correct these imbalances. By addressing the root causes, rather than just targeting the number on the scale, TCM slimming encourages long-term wellness and sustainable fat loss.

How TCM Slimming Techniques Support Women Over 30

As women age, metabolism naturally slows down, and hormone levels—such as oestrogen and progesterone—fluctuate. These changes can lead to water retention, bloating, and fat accumulation in stubborn areas. TCM slimming methods like Guasha (skin scraping therapy) and specialised suction therapy help improve blood circulation and Qi flow, stimulating the body’s natural detoxification and fat metabolism.

Guasha, for example, involves gently scraping the skin with a smooth-edged instrument to encourage microcirculation and release toxins trapped beneath the skin’s surface. This boosts metabolic activity and helps the body efficiently process fat.

Specialised suction therapy works by targeting areas prone to water retention and sluggish lymphatic flow. By improving these processes, the body eliminates excess fluid and waste more effectively, which is crucial for women whose bodies have become less efficient at detoxification over time.

Sustainable and Safe Weight Loss Without Harmful Side Effects

Many slimming products or extreme diets can have dangerous side effects, ranging from heart palpitations to nutrient depletion. TCM slimming treatments, on the other hand, rely on centuries-old natural practices and do not introduce any harmful substances into the body.

This gentle yet effective approach means women over 30 can achieve gradual, sustainable weight loss while improving overall health. Beyond just slimming, many clients report increased energy, improved sleep, reduced stress, and better digestion after TCM treatments.
