Get rid of the Spring Festival fat! Fat-reducing tea + acupoint massage

During the Chinese New Year, be careful not to gain weight if you don't control your diet. Chinese medicine practitioners point out that factors that cause obesity include constipation, edema, etc., and some obese people often have problems with high body fat or high blood lipids. These symptoms can be improved by drinking Chinese herbal tea and self-massage of acupoints to effectively improve obesity.

During the Chinese New Year, if you eat and drink a lot but don’t control your diet and lack exercise, be careful to gradually gain weight.

Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Mingzhu pointed out that the Chinese New Year is the most important festival of the year. During this time, everyone will reward themselves by eating delicious food and having a good rest. However, the abundant fish and meat in the New Year's dishes and the snacks that are eaten more and more without realizing it are undoubtedly the biggest obstacles for those who love beauty and want to lose weight.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are located in the middle burner. The circulation of qi and blood, and the transfer of water in the body depend on the spleen and stomach's transportation and transformation functions. Irregular and excessive food intake often causes a burden on the spleen and stomach, causing the spleen and stomach's transportation and transformation functions to malfunction, and water, phlegm, and food accumulation to easily accumulate in the body, thereby increasing weight.

In Chinese medicine, the liver is responsible for regulating the body's qi, and the gallbladder is the residence of purity. The liver and gallbladder are the hubs of the body's qi movement. Staying up late and sleeping late during the Chinese New Year period can easily cause liver and gallbladder fire, poor qi regulation, and the so-called "liver wood overcomes spleen earth" problem, causing gastrointestinal indigestion, bloating, hiccups, and even acid reflux, which can also cause the body's metabolism to deteriorate and weight gain.

Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Mingzhu has specially provided a tea drink that soothes the liver, strengthens the spleen, and removes greasiness, so that everyone can drink it instead of tea during the New Year holidays.
