Black fungus plus traditional Chinese medicine is effective in weight loss! Get Rid of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Even though artist Jay Chou's wife Kun Ling suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome, she was still able to successfully conceive her second child after several months of recuperation, which encourages many patients who also have the disease but have been unable to conceive. "Prevention is treatment" is very important for patients. Proper diet can help lose weight and control blood sugar. Chinese medicine practitioners suggest that in addition to regulating the physical condition through herbal teas, it is advisable to moderately consume foods such as black fungus or white fungus to stabilize blood sugar, and then press acupoints that soothe the liver and relieve depression to help improve symptoms.

The causes of PCOS are related to heredity, work and rest, stress, environment, and are also closely related to endocrine system. The main clinical symptoms are oligomenorrhea, secondary amenorrhea, infertility, hirsutism and obesity. The conditioning includes: losing weight, controlling blood sugar, taking birth control pills or ovulation pills, and regulating menstruation to normal to increase the chance of conception.

Weight loss has many benefits and can help improve symptoms of PCOS

Why do patients with polycystic ovary need to lose weight? Because some of the hormones in the body are secreted by adipose tissue, and hormones promote the proliferation of adipose tissue, polycystic ovary syndrome will mostly lead to obesity, and obesity is more likely to cause endocrine imbalance. For some patients, as long as they lose weight and their endocrine system returns to normal, the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome can be controlled, so patients are advised to lose weight. For patients, losing 5% of body weight is considered "meaningful weight loss."

Wu Jiandong, attending physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Linsen Branch of Taipei City United Hospital, said that TCM's best advice for weight loss for patients with PCOS is to carefully choose their diet and exercise moderately. If there are common physical problems of PCOS, such as internal heat, phlegm and dampness, and blood stasis, it is also recommended to receive treatment to improve symptoms.

TCM treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that polycystic ovary syndrome is mainly caused by dysfunction of the liver, spleen and kidneys, and phlegm, dampness and blood stasis blocking the blood vessels, among which the relationship with the kidneys is the closest. The main treatment methods are to tonify the kidney to treat the root cause, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, and promote qi and resolve phlegm to treat the symptoms. It is best to treat both the symptoms and the root cause. For example: the weak fire constitution that is prone to dry mouth and tongue, the phlegm-damp constitution that is prone to fatigue and edema, and the blood stasis constitution that is prone to irregular menstruation and blood clots are common constitutions in polycystic ovary syndrome. Therefore, the regulation of the body also needs to be considered according to this constitution, such as nourishing yin and reducing fire, resolving phlegm and dampness, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, etc. We recommend the common lotus seed and tremella soup, poria and coix seed soup, and rose tea for drinking for maintenance. However, the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome is very complicated and cannot be summarized by the above constitutions. It still needs to be diagnosed by a doctor for accurate treatment.

The black fungus recipe (Guizhi Fuling Pills and Liuwei Dihuang Pills plus black fungus, ephedra, ginseng, coptis root, tangerine peel, licorice, and rhubarb) has a weight loss effect on obese people with multiple ovarian cyst syndrome.

Eating black fungus and Chinese medicine can regulate polycystic ovary

There is a saying: "Eating black fungus plus Chinese medicine can regulate polycystic ovary syndrome." Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Jiandong said that whether it is black fungus or white fungus, the polysaccharides contained in them have the effect of stabilizing blood sugar. At the same time, they will also swell in the intestines, making it easy to feel full and reduce appetite. In addition, fungus is rich in dietary fiber and can help defecation. However, it should be noted that fungus is slightly cold in nature, so people with weak constitution and prone to diarrhea should not eat too much.

As for the combination of black fungus and Chinese medicine, the effect is also good. There are many studies in domestic and foreign literature on the use of Chinese herbal medicine to treat polycystic ovary syndrome. Reports have confirmed that the black fungus formula (Guizhi Fuling Pills and Liuwei Dihuang Pills plus black fungus, ephedra, ginseng, coptis root, tangerine peel, licorice, and rhubarb) has a weight loss effect on obese people with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Jiandong said that in addition to dietary adjustments, patients with polycystic ovary disease can also use acupuncture to regulate their condition. Acupoints commonly used for PCOS include Taichong for soothing the liver and relieving depression, Sanyinjiao for nourishing yin and blood, and uterus for regulating qi. You can also choose appropriate acupoints for treatment according to other symptoms.

[Taichong Point: Soothes the Liver and Relieves Depression]

The Taichong point (located at the intersection of the first and second midfoot bones of the foot) can be pressed with the blunt end of a ballpoint pen for about 15 to 20 minutes. It helps to resolve phlegm, regulate qi, soothe the liver and strengthen the spleen and aid pregnancy.

[Sanyinjiao: nourishing yin blood]

The Sanyinjiao point is located one palm width above the medial malleolus (excluding the thumb), close to the posterior edge of the tibia. Sanyinjiao point is the meeting point of the three yin meridians of spleen, liver and kidney. Pressing the Sanyinjiao point can promote spleen hematopoiesis, liver regulation of menstruation and increase kidney essence and qi. It is an important acupuncture point for women to maintain their ovaries.

[Uterus Point: Regulates Qi]

The uterus point is in the lower abdomen, 4 inches below the navel and 3 inches lateral to the middle point. The patient lies supinely and the acupoint is located 4 inches below the navel and 3 inches lateral to the navel. The uterus point has the function of regulating the flow of qi and lifting the sunken parts.
