Case: Do you swell easily when you try exercising?

The body’s chi level is directly correlated with the body’s metabolism. As the body’s metabolism drops, its ability to break down fatty acids and cells also drops creating a stagnation of Gi(Qi, Chi) where lipids and water builds up. This leads to swelling of your body or increase in body fat, often explaining the obesity. Even exercise that is meant to break down these fats and cells cause more swelling as the body’s lack of chi leads to fatigue, as the body cannot support the amount of exercise. In this case, it is important for weight loss that increasing chi level is helpful to work metabolism actively with the specific acupuncture and herbal concentrate. The exercise can lead weight loss after this treatment.

Tip: The Ginseng and res Ginseng teas are helpful to recover your energy level after exercise.

Another function of the stomach and the spleen is that they create and regulate dampness. If this function is somehow impaired, the water that ought to escape your body is stagnated and increases the overall internal dampness causing indigestion and lack of circulation. At such occurrences, if one consumes food that requires high metabolism (which also produces a lot of heat in your body), such as flour-based food, greasy food, alcohol, et cetera; your body and head feels heavier with displays of symptoms such as lack of appetite, fatigue, and listlessness.

Tip: If such is the case, consumption of food that is high in diuretics or supports digestion is recommended: Plum tea, Watermelon juice, red bean porridge, etc.

An average of 70% of the human body is water. However, this water can become polluted from external materials and abnormalities in the plasma and other bodily fluids. ‘Dam-eum’ means that the body water contains waste materials a lot. The blood transfers the materials to the body cells to convert energy. The waste of material which is used by cell is discharged through urine and sweet normally. When your body accumulates Dam-eum, it slows down the activity of your organs and damages their functions from digestive, reproductive, to circulative. Symptoms such as post-meal heaviness, constipation, irregular menstrual cycle, and lack of appetite appear along with an increase in weight.

Tip: Teas that clear up wastes in the blood are helpful: mandarin peel, Platycodon root

Case: Which high amount of stress has brought upon weight-gain.

Psychological strains such as stress and anxiety heavily affect the flow of Gi throughout your body. As explained with other cases, a decrease or impairment on the chi-flow directly affects the circulation in your body which causes weight-gain.

Case: Are you always hungry?

This is a case in which one experiences hunger abnormally often. Such craving for food and increase in appetite occurs when there is excess heat in your stomach. The stomach generates excess heat if one has irregular diet, from quantity to quality and time, and acid reflux which can have many different causes. One who suffers from such case gains weight as one experiences a strong sense of hunger and tends to overeat, forcing the stomach to generate even more energy and thus more heat, creating a cyclical pattern that leads to obesity.
