How we control and navigate the intractable disease of obesity

Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease caused by a variety of factors, is a common clinical evidence, divided into simple and secondary. Simple obesity patients have a relatively uniform distribution of body fat, there is no endocrine disruption phenomenon, there is no metabolic disorder, and their families often have a history of obesity. Currently, there is no appropriate medication and intervention means in Western medicine. Secondary obesity is usually caused by endocrine disorders, such as diabetes or hypothyroidism, etc., and the treatment is usually focused on the primary disease. Chinese medicine believes that obesity has a close relationship with the spleen and stomach. Spleen is “the foundation of the latter day” “, the source of qi and blood biochemistry” “, transporting water and moisture”, so the normal function of the spleen or not, directly affecting the other organs, such as the spleen and stomach often lead to the related Organ dysfunction, resulting in yin and yang disharmony, qi is not smooth, dampness trapped spleen, dampness and heat, water and moisture metabolic disorders, overflow in the muscle, and hair for obesity. And traditional Chinese medicine has always been “fat people more phlegm” theory, so the clinical phlegm, blood stasis, fire each other, blockage of the veins. Treatment is often to remove phlegm, remove blood stasis, clear fire and heat with treatment. We emphasize on the prevention of obesity, advocate a healthy lifestyle and early detection and treatment. Through evidence-based Chinese medicine theory, we use the four diagnostic methods to identify and treat obesity, improve the patient’s physical condition and adjust the metabolic imbalance of the human body from a holistic perspective.
