Old fat and wet phlegm! Cassia hawthorn tea eliminates phlegm and resolves stagnation

"Doctor, I don't eat much, so why am I getting fatter?" 65-year-old Ms. Chen has been troubled by weight gain in recent years. Chinese medicine practitioners emphasize that more than 50% of the elderly suffer from being overweight, and some of them have symptoms of qi deficiency and phlegm dampness, which makes it impossible to digest the food they eat and affects their metabolism. It is recommended to drink fat-burning tea with tonic properties to achieve the effect of lowering blood lipids, eliminating phlegm and resolving accumulation.

Dr. Wang Song from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Tong Hospital said that traditional Chinese medicine believes that "fat people have more dampness and phlegm", and if you want to lose weight, you must first eliminate the phlegm and dampness in the body. Some elderly people who are overweight often like to doze off when staying at home during the day, or they easily become breathless and tired, and their limbs feel heavy after a little exercise. They may have a constitution of qi deficiency and phlegm and dampness. If this condition cannot be improved for a long time, the problem of obesity cannot be solved.
