Obesity may be caused by heavy dampness. Phlegm-dampness is the basic pathogenesis of obesity, while phlegm-dampness can also lead to qi depression, blood stasis and internal heat congestion.
Obesity is mostly caused by old age and infirmity, over-eating fat and sweet, lack of exercise, emotional and emotional injuries, innate endowment, etc. leading to the accumulation of dampness, phlegm and stagnation of internal accumulation, retained not work, the formation of obesity. Its basic mechanism is strong stomach and weak spleen, brewing phlegm and dampness, resulting in gas, blood stasis, internal heat congestion.
1. Old and weak: the occurrence of obesity is related to age. After middle age, the human body’s physiological functions from the flourishing to the decline of the spleen’s function of transportation, and over-eating fat and sweet, not as good as the transportation, gathering dampness and phlegm, phlegm and dampness congestion; or kidney yang is weak, can not be qi water (to promote the operation of the gas to promote the operation of the water), brewing dampness, phlegm and turbidity, and therefore obesity.
2. Dietary indiscretion: overeating people, often stomach heat bias, putrefaction of grains and water function hyper-exuberance. A large number of intake of fat, sweet and thick taste, for a long time will lead to the spleen’s transportation function is impaired. Further development, it leads to excess water and grain can not be transformed into essence, and then become anointed fat, with the flow of Yu Qi and stop in the fascia cavity, the formation of obesity.
3. Work and rest disorder: long-term non-exercise may lead to qi deficiency, spleen deficiency, spleen qi weakness, transport failure, water and grain essence can not be transported, water and dampness stop (water and dampness stays in the body), the formation of obesity.
4. Innate endowment: Yang hot constitution, stomach heat, hyper appetite, excessive food, the spleen is not as good as the transportation, can lead to the accumulation of fat, phlegm and dampness, the formation of obesity.
5. Emotional injuries: seven emotions, internal injuries, internal organs and qi dysfunction, water and grain transportation failure, water and moisture stop, phlegm and dampness accumulation, but also into obesity.
The etiology of obesity is more complex, it is recommended that patients with treatment needs to seek timely medical attention.
