In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), weight gain is often seen as the result of imbalances in the body’s Qi, blood, and organ functions. One key theory is the accumulation of phlegm, which can block the smooth flow of Qi and cause fluid retention, leading to weight gain. Phlegm can build up due to poor diet, excessive dampness, or weak digestion, particularly in the spleen. TCM treatments focus on removing phlegm, strengthening the spleen, improving digestion, and restoring the flow of Qi. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and dietary changes are commonly used to address this imbalance and support healthy weight loss. Dr. Man Herbal offers personalized treatments to help with weight loss by targeting phlegm accumulation.
