weightloss and accupunture...

[Guest guest]

Not bad but very basic.

 

I don't want it to be 'said' that I was advertising here so if you wish to

contact me personally - please do so as I have a proprietary formulation that

was handed down to me from my Chinese mentor who has over 50 years of clinical

experience.I had Lotus herbs private label it for me but have run out and just

delivered a new batch for labelling under my name. I only sell to

practitioners of Chinese medicine.

As to the herbs part of the question... there are different types of

obesity. One herbal formula I was prescribed by my herbalist is:

 

Name: Fang Feng Tong Sheng San

Ledebourialla & Platycodon Formula

Ingredients: Siler (Fang Feng), Schizonepeta (Jing Jie), Mentha (Bo

He), Ma-Huang (Ma Huang), Rhubarb (Da Huang), Mirabilite (Mang Xiao),

Gardenia (Zhi Zi), Platycodon (Jie Geng), Gypsum (Shi Gao), Cnidium

Chuan Xiong), Chinese Angelica Root (Dang Gui), White Peony (Bai

Shao), Scutellaria (Huang Qin), Forsythia (Lian Qiao), Licorice (Gan

Cao), White Atractylodes (Bai Zhu)

Indications: Wind-heat in the exterior and dampness-heat in the

interior, marked by excess of both interior and exterior, manifested

as obesity, headache, dry throat, constipation, dark urine, or the

primary symptoms of boils eczema and itching.

Comments: Relieves exterior syndrome, removes obstruction due to

interior syndrome, and clears away heat and toxic materials.

 

The heat symptoms mean that weight loss requires something different

(such as the formula above) vs. some cold, damp conditions that have

to do with obesity. For instance, this formula below is used in low

thyroid conditions. Low thyroid can easily lead to obesity, but as

you'll see the symptoms are very different from the ones described in

the formula above:

 

Name: Zhu Yang Fang

Astragalus & Curculigo Combination

Ingredients: Codonopsis Dang Shen), Astragalus (Huang Qi), Curculigo

(Tian Xian Mao), Epimedium (Yin Yang Huo), Cuscuta (Tu Si Zi),

Processed Rehmannia (Shou Di Huang), Cinnamon Twigs (Gui Zhi), Hoelen

(Fu Ling)

Indications: Hypothyroidism with the symptoms of fatigue, pale

complexion, swollen eyelids, over-sensitivity to cold, blank

expression, slow reflexes, obesity, lack of body hair, gravely voice,

dry skin, lack of appetite, constipation, and low sex drive.

Comments: It is strongly recommended that this preparation be taken

continuously for two to four months, then with a low dose of thyroid

medication for one to two months to achieve the desired result. Dr.

Kuang An Kun from Shang Hai Institute of Endocrinology studied 19

cases with hypothyroidism. After treatment, 100% of the patients

showed improvement in symptoms as well as in blood tests for

cholesterol, T3, T4, and TSH.

 

.... So I think the best bet is to either go to an

acupuncturist/herbalist who can suggest an individual formula and

probably do acupuncture for you too. And browse through some TCM

books. And perhaps on this forum, repeat what you mentioned about the

formula you found but also describe some of your basic symptoms,

tongue color, whether you tend to run cold or hot, etc. Good luck.
