Losing weight, a problem that has always plagued many obese patients. Dieting? Taking pills? How to lose weight quickly and effectively? In fact, the reason for our obesity is that our own body has problems. By identifying our own obesity type, weight loss can also be simple. Now, I will recommend some Chinese medicine-based weight loss methods for you.
Chinese medicine weight loss utilizes the principle of dialectical treatment to adjust the endocrine system and regulate the neural and endocrine functions of obese individuals. Although Chinese medicine weight loss is a safe and non-toxic method without side effects, it still needs to be tailored to the individual. Let's take a look at the Chinese medicine remedies for four types of obesity in spring.
1. Fatigue Type Obesity:
This type of obesity is caused by insufficient "vitality" (in simple terms, it refers to the life energy), which leads to decreased digestive function and abnormal metabolism. These individuals have poor appetite, but tend to eat snacks.
Symptoms: Easily fatigued; sweating and shortness of breath with movement; coldness and susceptibility to colds; infrequent urination; puffy eyes, etc.
Chinese medicine remedy: Xiang Sha Liu Zi Tang. It works by restoring vitality and improving the function of the digestive organs, thereby normalizing metabolism. It can burn and eliminate unnecessary substances accumulated in the body, achieving the effect of weight loss.
2. Anemic Type Obesity:
Also known as "blood deficiency obesity." Due to insufficient blood in the body, basic bodily functions decline, and metabolism becomes abnormal, eventually leading to obesity.
Symptoms: Normal appetite, but protruding lower abdomen and thin limbs, also known as "stealth obesity".
Chinese medicine remedy: A suitable prescription would be a combination of Si Wu Tang and Xiao Jian Tang, both of which have the function of nourishing blood.
3. Edematous Type Obesity:
Also known as "phlegm-dampness internal obesity", this type of obesity occurs in people with swollen hips and thighs, also known as "lower body obesity". It is caused by poor drainage function in the body, resulting in the accumulation of excess water.
Symptoms: Average appetite, but weak limbs; dislike of exercise; feeling soft and wanting to lie down after meals; sticky mouth; difficulty urinating; easy diarrhea; morning eyelid swelling, etc.
Chinese medicine remedy: This type of obesity can be treated with Fang Feng Tong Sheng San and Wei Ling Tang, which have diuretic and weight loss effects.
4. Stress-Induced Obesity:
This type of obesity, caused by stress, is also known as "liver-stomach heat obesity". Excessive stress causes a decline in liver function (in Chinese medicine, "liver" not only refers to the liver organ in Western medicine, but also includes the central nervous system, autonomic nervous system, and motor nervous system). It can even affect the stomach, causing it to heat up and increase appetite.
Symptoms: People of this type tend to have increased appetite, headaches, and red eyes when they become irritated. Some girls, when under pressure and feeling upset, tend to binge on sweets, making them typical examples of this type.
Chinese medicine remedy: This type of obesity can be treated with Da Chai Hu Tang. This type of medicine has the effect of inhibiting excessive stress response, eliminating restlessness, and inhibiting abnormal excitement of the digestive organs.
5. Binge Eating Obesity:
As the name suggests, these are people with a strong appetite, also known as "big eaters". If they can forcefully restrict their diet, they may temporarily lose weight. However, once they lose control of their appetite, they are likely to rebound and possibly become even heavier than before.
Symptoms: The common symptom of "binge eating" is excessive heat in the body.
Chinese medicine remedy: This type of obesity can be treated with Fang Feng Tong Sheng San. It is also beneficial to consume more vegetables, fruits, and cool foods.
In addition to the above, I would also like to recommend three different weight loss methods for different body types. Keep reading to find out more.
