TCM views weight issues as primarily caused by Spleen Qi deficiency, Dampness accumulation, and Qi stagnation that disrupt metabolism, energy circulation, and natural weight regulation.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), weight issues often stem from Spleen Qi deficiency, Dampness accumulation, and Qi stagnation that disrupt normal metabolism and energy circulation. These imbalances can slow metabolic function, cause fluid retention, increase cravings or emotional eating patterns, and prevent the body from efficiently processing nutrients and eliminating waste.
