Weight Management in Eastern Medicine (Oriental Medicine)

In the Inner Cannon of Yellow Emperor (Huang Di Nei Jing),  2000 years ago, "Eating good food too much, It causes obesity." 

Obesity is caused by Dampness and Phlegm in the body. The dampness and Phlegm disturb the flows of Energy (氣 - 기, Chi, Qi) and make energy deficiency. Therefore phlegm-dampness is the main cause of obesity. Normally, Spleen (Eastern Medicine) has function of removing dampness or phlegm out of body. However, the phlegm-dampness become accumulated in the body if the energy of Spleen is weak. Then the phlegm-dampness make our body overweight. Obesity comes from mal-functioning of digestion part of our body. 

How Acupuncture and Eastern Medicine help reducing obesity. 

We use acupuncture and herbal medicine to tonify Spleen and remove dampness in our body. We also make our Lung clear to help the flows of energy.  These makes our internal organ strong,  reduce deficient heat, tonify Yang energy from Kidney, and remove extra fluid in our body. That is make our body function well.

Finally we can add some more method such as  reducing appetite and helping our large intestine to remove stools easily.  

This will reduce our weight. However it won't make you as thinner as you want because our method is making your body functioning well. It means it will remove pathological overweight, not your wishes.

Weight management in Acupuncture and Herbal medicine takes time. It may takes up to 6 months to 1 year.
