Chinese Medicine Weight Loss

Chinese medicine weight loss uses the principle of dialectical treatment to adjust the endocrine system and regulate the nervous 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 wonderful Chinese medicine remedies for four types of obesity in spring.

1. Fatigue-induced obesity

This type of obesity is caused by insufficient "vital energy" (simply put, life energy), which leads to decreased digestive function and abnormal metabolism. Symptoms include loss of appetite, irregular eating but a tendency to snack.

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 helps restore "vital energy" and improve the function of the digestive organs, resulting in normal metabolism. It can burn and eliminate unnecessary substances accumulated in the body, achieving the effect of weight loss.

2. Anemia-induced obesity

Scientifically known as "blood deficiency obesity". Due to insufficient blood in the body, basic bodily functions decline and metabolic function becomes abnormal, ultimately leading to obesity.

Symptoms: Normal appetite, but a protruding abdomen and thin limbs; commonly known as "stealthily fat".

Chinese medicine remedy: A suitable prescription is a combination of Si Wu Tang and Xiao Jian Tang, both of which have blood-tonifying effects.

3. Edema-induced obesity

Also known as "phlegm-dampness internal obesity", this type of obesity is characterized by swelling in the buttocks 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 in the body.

Symptoms: Average appetite, but weak limbs; dislike of exercise; feeling soft and wanting to lie down after meals; sticky mouth; difficulty urinating; easy diarrhea; swollen eyes in the morning, etc.

Chinese medicine remedy: Such obese individuals can take Fang Feng Tong Sheng San and Wei Ling Tang. These remedies have diuretic and weight loss effects.

4. Stress-induced obesity

Obesity caused by stress is also known as "liver and stomach heat-induced obesity". Excessive stress causes a decrease in liver function (in Chinese medicine, "liver" not only refers to the liver organ in Western medicine, but also encompasses the central nervous system, autonomic nervous system, and motor nervous system functions). It can even affect the stomach, causing heat accumulation and abnormal increase in appetite.

Symptoms: People of this type experience increased appetite, headaches, and bloodshot eyes when they are agitated or stressed. Some girls, when under pressure and feeling upset, tend to binge on sweets, which can be considered typical of this type.

Chinese medicine remedy: Such obese individuals can take Da Chai Hu Tang. This type of medicine can suppress excessive stress responses, eliminate irritability, and inhibit abnormal excitation of the digestive organs.

5. Binge-eating obesity

As the name suggests, these are individuals who have a strong appetite and are "big eaters". If they can force themselves to diet, they may temporarily lose weight, but once they lose control of their appetite, they are likely to rebound and possibly become even heavier than before.

Symptoms: The common problem of "binge-eaters" is excessive internal heat.

Chinese medicine remedy: Such obese individuals can take Feng
