Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the main causes of obesity are improper diet, disorder of rest and rest, and disorder of seven emotions. The pathogenesis belongs to deficiency of yang and excessive phlegm-dampness, that is, "excessive phlegm" and "lack of qi", and the disease is mainly located in the spleen, kidney and liver. Obesity in different parts is blamed on different viscera.
Upper body fat is spleen and stomach dysfunction. The spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow, and the functions of the spleen and stomach transport Shui Gu, while the deficiency of the spleen and stomach transport it weakly. Shui Gu’s qi can’t be transformed into subtle and scattered all over the body, gathering into phlegm and dampness, blocking the spleen and trapping the stomach, which will lead to abdominal obesity over time, that is, "upper body obesity".
Fat lower body is bad for the liver. The liver governs the release of qi and blood, which has an important influence on the generation, distribution and metabolism of qi, blood and body fluids. The generation and distribution of body fluids in the liver are blocked, and it is easy to produce water dampness, which is a yin evil, which is easy to damage yang qi, which hinders the qi movement, hinders the metabolism of water and dampness, and tends to attack the yin position because of dampness. The lower part of the human body is yin, and the same kind of people want each other, so dampness is a disease, which is easy to hurt the lower part of the human body, that is, "lower body obesity."
Thick arms are bad for the stomach. The large intestine meridian and the small intestine meridian start from the hand and connect with the stomach meridian of the foot Yangming. The large intestine governs the body fluid and the small intestine governs the fluid, and its meridians circulate in the upper limbs, which easily leads to the stagnation of body fluid in the parts where the meridians circulate, that is, the "arm is thick".
Obesity in the back is due to bladder meridian obstruction. The bladder meridian (kidney and bladder meridian are brothers who share weal and woe) runs along the back. If it fails, the back meridians will be blocked, which will affect metabolism and easily accumulate too much water, dampness and fat.
Abdominal fat accumulation is spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. Deficiency and cold of spleen and stomach refers to deficiency and decline of yang qi in spleen and stomach, and excess of yin and cold. The smooth flow of qi, blood and body fluids in the human body is all driven by the warm temperature of yang and harmony. Cold stagnation is easy to coagulate qi, blood, body fluid and block meridians. There is a meridian that runs across the abdomen and surrounds the whole body-with veins, and the spleen and stomach are located in the middle jiao. The spleen and stomach are deficient in cold, and the veins are blocked, which is easy to cause fat metabolism disorder, that is, "abdominal fat accumulation".
For obesity in different parts, Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment, that is, through diet, daily life, exercise, massage and other ways to speed up metabolism and get rid of fat. Here are some self-operated methods to recommend to you.
1. Diet therapy. Most obese people have eating disorders or hyperappetite. Diet therapy should be based on invigorating spleen and benefiting qi, eliminating phlegm and removing dampness, and poria cocos, adzuki beans, coix seed, dried tangerine peel, lotus leaves, bitter gourd, hawthorn, wax gourd, cucumber, kelp, lettuce and other foods can be mixed into the diet.
2. Exercise method. Lying for a long time hurts the gas, and sitting for a long time hurts the meat. Usually do more traditional Chinese health exercises, such as Tai Ji Chuan, Baduanjin, Changquan, Yijinjing, etc., 2~3 times a week.
3. Chinese herbal medicine. Shennong’s Classic of Materia Medica has recorded a large number of "light-fit" products, such as rhubarb, giant knotweed, atractylodes rhizome, Alisma orientale and wormwood, which can eliminate phlegm and reduce turbidity, promote diuresis and reduce blood fat. Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Herba Leonuri, Fructus Crataegi, Caulis Spatholobi, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, etc. There are Eclipta prostrata, Radix Rehmanniae, Cornus officinalis, Fructus Lycii, Ganoderma lucidum, etc. for nourishing yin and nourishing blood and reducing weight and lipid.
4. Tuina method. To remove the fat on the liver meridian on the inner thigh, you can push the liver meridian with the palm root. When sleeping every day, push the palm root from the thigh root to the knee and push it hundreds of times along this liver meridian. The fat on the gallbladder meridian outside the thigh can knock on the gallbladder meridian (the position where people’s trousers line runs). To remove the fat on the waist, you can tap the pulse area. ▲
