Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there are five types of obesity constitutions: spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction, spleen and lung deficiency, liver stagnation and qi stagnation, yang deficiency and internal heat, and stomach heat and dampness obstruction. Different constitutions require different weight loss methods. Let's see how traditional Chinese medicine teaches you how to lose weight.
I. Spleen Deficiency and Dampness Retention Constitution
A poor appetite coupled with persistent weight gain, along with symptoms like a thick tongue coating and loose stools, may indicate a spleen-deficient, dampness-retention constitution. Poor spleen function and impaired digestive function prevent the elimination of phlegm and dampness, leading to a buildup of dampness in the body and continuous weight gain. Experts explain that the key lies in strengthening the spleen and regulating qi. Improving the body's ability to eliminate dampness will help reduce weight.
A. Acupuncture – Reducing weight by unblocking meridians
It is very effective for spleen deficiency and dampness retention constitution. It unblocks meridians by dredging different acupoints (such as Fenglong, Sanyang, and Neiguan), regulates endocrine and body balance, effectively enhances the spleen's dampness removal function, and can also accelerate the body's metabolism, so that health can be regulated from the inside out.
