As the time spent at home increases, the number of obese people is also increasing. The editor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Medicine Network teaches you how to use traditional Chinese medicine to diagnose and treat obesity with good lipid-lowering and weight loss effects!
I. Digestion and Fat Elimination Method: Excessive consumption of sweet and fatty foods often leads to the accumulation of greasy substances in the stomach, resulting in bloating, acid reflux, foul taste, and greasy tongue coating.
The early use of hawthorn, barley malt, and radish seeds can help digestion and eliminate fat. These herbs have long been recorded in herbal books for their ability to eliminate fat deposits. Traditional formulas such as Jiao San Xian and Bao He Wan are commonly used in pediatric medicine.
II. Chest Expanding and Phlegm Resolving Method: Traditional Chinese medicine literature suggests that obese people often have excessive phlegm, which refers to the excess fat. Clinically, obese individuals often experience shortness of breath, chest tightness, dizziness, vomiting, and nausea, with a greasy tongue coating.
Some people have excessive phlegm and fire, leading to irritability, anger, high blood pressure, headache, and constipation. They are prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In such cases, the appropriate method is to use chest-expanding and phlegm-resolving herbs.
III. Blood Activation and Stasis Removal Method: Obese individuals have excessive fat in their blood, which can easily lead to atherosclerosis, especially cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Blood-activating and stasis-removing herbs can dilate coronary arteries, increase blood flow, lower blood lipids, prevent plaque formation, and promote its regression.
For obese individuals who also have blood stasis, women with irregular menstruation or purple spots on the tongue, blood activation and stasis removal method can not only reduce fat and lose weight, but also treat the underlying condition. Commonly used blood-activating and stasis-removing herbs include Angelica and Chuanxiong, which are the main ingredients in the ancient formula called Foshou San, known for their ability to promote blood circulation, regulate menstruation, and relieve pain.
