About This Treatment

Holistic weight management through traditional Chinese medicine combining acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, and lifestyle modification. Chinese TCM clinics address obesity by identifying and treating underlying metabolic imbalances — spleen qi deficiency, dampness accumulation, or liver qi stagnation — rather than simply restricting calories. Programs achieve sustainable results without extreme dieting.

Procedure Steps
1

Metabolic TCM Assessment

Comprehensive evaluation including body composition analysis, TCM constitutional diagnosis, identification of dampness and stagnation patterns, and assessment of digestive function.

Duration: 1-2 hours
2

Acupuncture & Auricular Therapy

Regular acupuncture sessions targeting metabolism-boosting points, appetite regulation, and stress reduction. Ear seeds or embedded needles for continuous appetite control between sessions.

Duration: 30-45 minutes, 2-3x weekly
3

Herbal Medicine Protocol

Custom formulas to resolve dampness, boost metabolism, strengthen digestive function, and reduce food cravings while maintaining energy levels throughout the program.

Duration: Daily herbal intake
4

TCM Dietary & Lifestyle Plan

Personalized food therapy based on TCM principles — specific foods to resolve dampness, support spleen function, and maintain metabolic fire, combined with appropriate exercise recommendations.

Duration: Ongoing guidance
