The TCM approach to weight loss focuses on restoring balance within the body rather than just reducing calories. It involves: Identifying and treating the root imbalances causing weight gain using herbs, acupuncture, cupping, massage, etc.  Strengthening vital organs like the spleen, liver, kidneys, and lungs with herbal formulas. Improving metabolic function through better circulation and elimination of waste products. Regulating appetite, digestion, and hormones governing weight. Modifying the diet to be more nutritious and portion-controlled. Increasing movement through qigong, tai chi, or yoga to boost metabolism. Reducing stress and cultivating mindfulness for better sleep and appetite control. Making gradual, sustainable lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes. Using complementary therapies like meditation, acupressure, and moxibustion along with herbs. The holistic TCM approach aims to create optimal energetic balance and vitality leading to healthy long-term weight.
