Poor appetite, poor sleep, but getting fatter and fatter? Traditional Chinese Medicine: Ophiopogon japonicus and Codonopsis pilosula tea can improve puffiness

The busy "sandwich tribe" usually works hard, has poor appetite and poor sleep quality, but they are getting fatter and fatter, especially in their lower abdomen where they accumulate a lot of fat and "meat floss". Be careful, this is a sign of pseudo-obesity. Traditional Chinese medicine suggests that taking medicinal tea recipes such as Ophiopogon japonicus and Codonopsis pilosula can improve the condition of puffiness.

Characteristics of puffiness: poor appetite, soft abdominal fat

A 46-year-old woman named Yang, with a plump body and soft belly fat, was usually busy with housework. Even walking and climbing stairs would make her sweat all over or short of breath, and she would feel chest tightness, dizziness, and palpitations from time to time. Because I was busy, I didn’t even have time to eat. Although I had a poor appetite, my weight increased instead of decreased.

Lin Xiuyan, a Chinese medicine doctor at Fengyuan Hospital, said that these symptoms are actually virtual obesity. Chinese medicine emphasizes the human heart and lung function, and focuses on "strengthening the heart and nourishing the body." Only by strengthening the heart and lung function can the patient's body naturally metabolize waste heat and allow the body's waste to be discharged through urination, defecation and sweating.

Medicinal tea formula suitable for virtual obesity: Codonopsis, Ophiopogon japonicus, Schisandra chinensis, etc.

For virtual obesity, the medicinal tea formula can be selected from 3 grams of Codonopsis pilosula, 3 grams of roasted liquorice, 5 grams of Ophiopogon japonicus, 2 grams of Schisandra chinensis, and 2 grams of cassia twig. Boil the tea for 30 minutes with 1200cc of water to replace daily water intake in summer.

Ophiopogon japonicus has the effect of nourishing the lung qi and improving dry mouth and tongue; Codonopsis pilosula can promote metabolism, strengthen the cardiovascular system, and eliminate mental stress.

After drinking the herbal tea formula for one and a half months and adjusting her lifestyle, the woman’s physical discomfort and obesity improved and her physical strength also improved. If you have any false obesity, you can regain your health through treatment with Chinese or Western medicine.

TCM physician Lin Xiuyan recommends that patients with kidney problems or diabetes should discuss the use of this medicinal tea with their doctor before drinking it, as it is safer.
