The midsummer season is a good time to show off your figure, but the growing fat around your waist and thighs is worrying. Obesity not only affects personal image, but is also an important risk factor for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and other diseases. So, how to make “fat oil click away”? Here is a recipe for weight loss in traditional Chinese medicine.

Obese people have “more phlegm” and “less gas”

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of obesity is mostly related to improper diet, excessive lying and lack of movement, and lack of congenital endowments. Mainly due to deficiency of yang qi and excess of phlegm-dampness, that is, “more phlegm” and “less qi”. If the spleen is weak, the transformation and transfusion will be incapable. The essence of water and grain will be lost in the distribution, and will be transformed into grease and water, which will be retained in the body and cause obesity. Slow, water and dampness stop within, and become obese.

Characteristic magic weapon to get rid of obesity

The most basic way to treat obesity is to adjust the lifestyle, including the intervention of diet, exercise and behavior. In addition, some characteristic treatments of Chinese medicine also have good curative effect.

Acupuncture treatment Acupuncture for weight loss is guided by the theory of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine, through acupuncture on specific meridians and acupoints to balance yin and yang, regulate viscera, run qi and blood, and dredge meridians, so as to achieve the purpose of losing weight. Clinically, acupoints are mainly selected from the aspects of invigorating the spleen and removing dampness, soothing the liver and regulating qi, warming and tonifying kidney-yang, etc., usually including Zhongwan, Xiawan, Tianshu, Daheng, Zusanli, Shangjuxu, Sanyinjiao, Quchi and other acupoints.

Acupoint catgut embedding Acupoint catgut embedding is a new type of acupoint stimulation technique of “replacing needles with threads”. The therapy is to embed absorbable thread into specific acupoints, and generate lasting and gentle physical and biochemical stimulation to the acupoints through the thread, so as to achieve the purpose of long-term stimulation of the acupoints and dredging of the meridians.

Auricular acupoint treatment: Wangbuliuxingzi can be used to press or directly acupuncture related auricular points, such as Shenmen, stomach, Sanjiao, endocrine, hunger point, etc. Auricular point therapy can reduce appetite by stimulating the vagus nerve in the ear, and can also promote the digestive function of the spleen and stomach, so as to achieve the purpose of weight loss.
