Obesity can cause you to get diabetes, heart disease, and cancer! TCM body acupuncture and ear acupuncture points for weight loss, conditioning according to physical constitution

"Isn't obesity a disease? Being fat can be fatal"! The World Health Organization listed obesity as a chronic disease in 1996. Seven of the top ten causes of death in China are related to obesity, such as cancer, heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, hypertensive diseases, nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and kidney disease, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. Traditional Chinese medicine can identify the causes of obesity and then use Chinese medicine and acupuncture to treat obesity.

Are you obese? Measure waist circumference to assess abdominal fat

How do you know if you are obese? In fact, body mass index (BMI) is the most commonly used assessment indicator. The formula is weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared. For example, 24≦BMI＜27 is overweight, 27≦BMI＜30 kg is mild obesity, 30≦BMI＜35 is moderate obesity, and BMI≧ is severe obesity. Since abdominal obesity (waist circumference ≥ 80 cm for non-pregnant women and ≥ 90 cm for men) is usually associated with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, the amount of abdominal fat can be assessed by measuring waist circumference.

TCM diagnosis of obesity causes, using body and ear acupuncture for acupoint conditioning

In addition, Dr. Liao Yinzi from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Annan Hospital said that from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the causes of obesity are usually improper diet, emotional injury, congenital deficiency, and improper work and rest. The pathogenesis is dysfunction of the spleen, stomach, liver, gallbladder, kidney and other internal organs, and abnormal circulation of qi, blood and body fluids, resulting in retention of water, phlegm and fat. TCM syndrome differentiation types can be divided into gastrointestinal visceral heat type, spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction type, liver qi stagnation type, and spleen and kidney yang deficiency type. Corresponding Chinese medicine can be used according to different syndrome types. As for body acupuncture, you can choose acupoints such as Tianshu, Daheng, Shuidao, Fenglong, etc. As for ear acupuncture, you can choose thirst point, hunger point, stomach, ear Shenmen, etc.

Ms. Wang, 55 years old, 171 cm tall, weighed 92 kg. She was very distressed and worried about the safety of commercially available weight loss drugs. She went to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Annan Hospital to seek help from Dr. Liao Yinzi for weight loss. After 9 months of Chinese medicine and acupuncture treatment, she finally lost 11.8 kg and her weight became 80.2 kg. Her body mass index dropped from 31.5 to 27.4, and her moderate obesity became mild. Her pants size dropped from 40 to 32. The weight loss results were amazing.

【Tip from Chinese medicine practitioners】:

Chinese medicine practitioner Liao Yinzi reminds that Chinese medicine is safe and effective in treating obesity, and can also tailor a unique weight loss method for the patient, but the patient still needs to change his or her lifestyle such as controlling the amount of food intake, eating more fruits and vegetables, whole grains, less oil, less salt and less sugar, increasing the amount of exercise and measuring body weight every day, so as to avoid gaining weight quickly again after successfully losing weight.
