Traditional Chinese Medicine: Obese constitutions are mainly divided into four types: phlegm and blood stasis type, liver depression type, stomach heat type and yang deficiency type

Obese patients usually have different symptoms. Chinese medicine practitioners will determine the patient's physical constitution based on these symptoms. Obese physical constitution is mainly divided into four types: phlegm and blood stasis type, liver depression type, stomach heat type and yang deficiency type. The phlegm and blood stasis type is a physique with heavier dampness, mostly occurring in young women, with menstrual problems. Obese people with liver depression type are mostly patients with high stress and lack of activity, and are usually accompanied by cardiovascular diseases or sleep and mental problems. Patients with stomach heat type have a strong temper, a strong appetite, and a love of sweets. They often suffer from gastrointestinal discomfort and difficulty in defecation. Patients with yang deficiency type are mostly obese with loose skin and soft flesh, and often suffer from symptoms such as fatigue and dizziness. Although they are both symptoms of obesity, Chinese medicine practitioners will use different Chinese medicine prescriptions to achieve the effect of taking into account both the symptoms and the root cause.

In addition to traditional Chinese medicine for regulating physical fitness and treating diseases, there are also some medicines that can improve metabolism, reduce appetite, inhibit fat absorption, and increase gastrointestinal motility to achieve weight loss effects. You can use Chinese herbal tea to improve the weight loss effect. Commonly used Chinese medicines include astragalus, cassia seed, wolfberry, chrysanthemum, polygala, calamus, lotus leaf, mint, salvia miltiorrhiza and other Chinese medicines. You can choose 5 or 6 kinds, add about 350-500cc of boiling water to brew and drink.

In addition to taking Chinese medicine for weight loss, you can also choose acupuncture, ear acupuncture, acupoint thread embedding and other methods to enhance the weight loss effect.

The side effects of using traditional Chinese medicine are low, but the effect is relatively slow. In addition to taking Chinese medicine, you can also choose acupuncture, ear acupuncture, acupoint thread embedding and other methods to enhance the weight loss effect. In addition, patients can perform acupoint massage on their own, which can not only help them lose weight but also achieve health-care effects. The commonly used acupoints for weight loss are Shenmen, hunger point and endocrine on the ears, Tianshu and Daheng on the abdomen, Sanyinjiao, Fenglong and Zusanli on the calves, etc. The massage method is to press and rub the acupoints with the fingertips until you feel a slight soreness and swelling, 1-2 minutes for each acupoint, 3-5 times a day.

For patients with local obesity or poor weight control, we can use acupoint thread embedding to enhance treatment. Acupoint thread embedding is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. Studies have shown that acupoint thread embedding can improve metabolism, reduce insulin resistance, increase leptin sensitivity to enhance weight loss effects, reduce medication and achieve local sculpting effects.

In recent years, weight loss has become a national movement. There are many methods. A new method or different fasting method appears every few days. I personally believe that as long as the calories you eat are less than the calories your body consumes, you will lose weight. It doesn't matter when you eat or what you eat. Moreover, some special diets are not suitable for certain groups of people. Even if you are completely healthy and can follow these diet rules, if it is a painful and difficult diet to implement, how long can you stick to it? Losing weight is a lifelong process, so it is recommended to eat a safe, healthy and balanced diet without going hungry, and develop good exercise habits to achieve an ideal weight, maintain a healthy body, and never gain weight again.
