How to treat obesity caused by liver and gallbladder deficiency

Losing weight has always been a hot topic among women, but in life there are many women who are too fat. They say that they have controlled their diet and exercise every week, but they are still fat, which makes them very distressed. In fact, obesity is not only caused by overeating, but also by weak liver and gallbladder organs in the body. So how to treat obesity caused by weak liver and gallbladder?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the biggest problems causing obesity are "liver depression" and "spleen deficiency".

Liver depression causes insufficient bile secretion, while spleen deficiency leads to weakened pancreatic function. Bile and pancreas are the two key players in eliminating excess fat in the human body. Only by mobilizing the enthusiasm of these two key players can the problem of obesity be fundamentally solved.

In order to restore the normal functions of the liver and spleen, the first thing to ensure is the smooth flow of Qi and blood. The smooth flow of Qi and blood comes from adequate nutrition. If you adopt the method of dieting to lose weight, it will inevitably affect the liver and spleen functions due to lack of nutrition, and further reduce fat emissions. This is also the reason why people who have been dieting often gain weight rapidly after resuming a normal diet, or even exceed their pre-diet weight. What’s even more frightening is that long-term dieting will make the generation of Qi and blood impossible, which will not only affect the health of the liver and spleen, but even hinder the normal functioning of other organs in the body, leading to the occurrence of various chronic diseases, and in severe cases, even induce cancer.

Our method to resolve liver stagnation is: often massage the liver meridian from "Tai Chong" to "Xing Jian". For people with too much fat in the thighs, it is best to use the thumb to push from the base of the liver meridian to the Ququan point in the popliteal fossa 100 times. This is usually a very painful meridian. Tap the "Daimai" 300 times a day, tap the gallbladder meridian on the outside of the thigh with the fist or knuckles for 3 minutes, move the "Yanglingquan" for one minute, and rub the "Di Jin" for three minutes. In this way, the problem of "liver stagnation" will be solved quickly.

Liver depression is also the main cause of many gynecological diseases such as breast hyperplasia, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and dysmenorrhea, chloasma, migraine and other symptoms are also closely related to liver depression. If weight loss can also prevent gynecological diseases, it will be more meaningful in the long run.

Tapping the "Belt Meridian" is good at eliminating "fat around the waist", and tapping the Gallbladder Meridian is easy to reduce fat on the buttocks and thighs. These two methods are actually one method, both of which are aimed at dredging the Gallbladder Meridian, because the "Belt Meridian" is also a section of the Gallbladder Meridian in the abdomen. If these two methods are used for a period of time and there is no effect (there should be an increase in bowel movements or a slight decrease in appetite). Then let’s use the second method and start with strengthening the spleen meridian.

Spleen deficiency has the greatest impact on the digestive function of the stomach and intestines. The stomach will feel bloated after meals, and the water will stay in the stomach without moving. The stool is always unable to move downward. The fat on such people's bodies is as soft as a ball of cotton, their legs feel heavy and they are unwilling to take a step, and they always want to sleep even in broad daylight.

Spleen deficiency can be supplemented with food. The best food is yam, coix seed and Euryale ferox porridge. If you have a cold stomach, you can remove the coix seed. If you have a hot stomach, you can remove the coix seed and yam and replace them with mung beans. Mung bean and barley porridge is the best for removing dampness and heat. It is most suitable for people with hyperactive liver and weak spleen, and those with yellow and greasy tongue coating.

For people who have a cold stomach, fear of cold and weak spleen, Fuzi Lizhong Pills should be the first choice. This medicine can remove cold and dampness and nourish the stomach, strengthen the middle Qi and invigorate the spleen. If you feel full and bloated soon after eating a small amount, it means your heart is weak and the stomach is not supplied with enough Qi and blood for digestion. At this time, nourishing the heart means strengthening the spleen, and Baizi Yangxin Pills are the best for this task. This medicine nourishes the heart and the liver, calms the mind and promotes bowel movements. It is most appropriate for people who are always restless, short of breath, weak, and have difficulty defecating.

Eating more small dates on an empty stomach every day can not only replenish blood and strengthen the spleen, but also invigorate qi and promote bowel movements. Large dates are strong in replenishing blood, while small dates are strong in activating blood circulation. Small dates are better in summer. Some people say that after drinking yam, coix seed and water chestnut porridge, they feel bloated and think that they are too weak to be nourished. In fact, it is because there is too much turbid air in their stomach and they are unable to expel it under normal circumstances. This porridge replenishes qi the fastest. The birth of clear air will inevitably drive out turbid air. The two airs will compete with each other and it is difficult for them to be expelled for a while, so you will feel fullness and bloating in the abdomen. At this time, drink a bowl of white radish soup. If you have a severe cold stomach, add some pepper powder. The bloating will naturally be relieved with farts, and your stomach will feel instantly comfortable. After drinking yam, coix seed and water chestnut porridge, I felt that my bowel movements were smooth and smooth. In addition, it is not difficult to strengthen the spleen by frequently massaging the spleen meridian in the calf and focusing on stimulating the Gongsun acupoint, combined with taking porridge and medicine internally.

We talked for a long time about regulating the spleen and stomach, but didn’t mention the word weight loss. In fact, if the spleen and stomach function well, losing weight is easy.

Many of my friends around me have been able to lose weight successfully by just tapping the belt meridian and pushing the abdomen, but some people do not see good results. In fact, it doesn’t matter. Using these methods will bring many extra benefits. Inadvertently eliminating a chronic disease may be more valuable than losing weight.

To lose weight, you need to take scientific methods into consideration according to your physical condition. It is best to start with the liver and spleen, using the "replenishing" method to increase the drainage function of the two, rather than blindly "losing weight" and thus shortening your life. You have to be thin in a healthy way, strong and energetic. If you lose weight to the point where your complexion becomes pale, you feel weak and listless, your skin becomes loose, and you look sick; or if you really have problems with organ dysfunction, then it is really not worth it.
