Traditional Chinese Medicine Weight Loss Why Do People Struggle to Lose Weight? The TCM Perspective

In Western medicine, weight loss is often reduced to calories in versus calories out, but TCM sees excess weight as a sign of imbalance in the body. According to thousands of years of medical wisdom, the main causes of weight gain include:

✅ Spleen Qi Deficiency – The spleen is responsible for digestion and nutrient absorption. If it’s weak, metabolism slows down, leading to fat accumulation, bloating, and fatigue.

✅ Liver Qi Stagnation – Stress, anxiety, and emotional imbalances disrupt the body’s energy flow, causing cravings, emotional eating, and fat storage (especially around the belly).

✅ Dampness & Phlegm Accumulation – When the body cannot properly eliminate toxins and fluids, it leads to water retention, bloating, and stubborn weight gain.

TCM doesn’t just help you lose weight—it helps you regain balance, energy, and vitality by fixing the root cause of the problem.

The Science Behind TCM for Weight Loss

If you’re wondering whether TCM actually works, modern research backs up these ancient techniques. Studies have shown that acupuncture, herbal medicine, and massage therapy can significantly improve weight loss outcomes by:

📌 Regulating metabolism – Acupuncture stimulates the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, helping control hunger hormones like ghrelin and leptin (Wang et al., 2012).

📌 Reducing stress & cravings – Chronic stress raises cortisol, leading to belly fat. Acupuncture and herbal remedies like Lotus Leaf (He Ye) and Poria (Fu Ling) help calm the nervous system, reducing emotional eating (Zhang et al., 2020).

📌 Boosting digestion & gut health – TCM treatments like moxibustion and cupping improve digestion, helping the body absorb nutrients more efficiently and eliminate waste effectively (Chen et al., 2018).

📌 Increasing fat metabolism – Certain herbs, like Hawthorn Berry (Shan Zha), have been shown to help break down fat and improve digestion, making weight loss easier (Liu et al., 2019).

By combining these scientifically proven methods with personalized care, Shu Jun Healthcare helps you lose weight safely and sustainably.
