Weight Management & Metabolism

Natural weight management and metabolism support through TCM herbal consultations at Beijing Tong Ren Tang clinic in Dubai.

The TCM Perspective: Why Weight Isn't Just About Calories

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), excess weight and a slow metabolism are often viewed as manifestations of internal imbalances specifically Spleen $Qi$ Deficiency and Dampness Accumulation. When your "digestive fire" is weak, your body cannot efficiently transform food into energy, leading to the accumulation of "dampness" (stored fat and water retention).

Our approach focuses on reigniting your metabolic fire and clearing the internal blockages that make weight loss feel like an uphill battle.

Common Patterns We Treat

Spleen $Qi$ Deficiency: Constant fatigue, bloating after meals, and difficulty losing weight despite eating very little.
Stomach Heat: Excessive appetite, frequent cravings for sweets or spicy foods, and rapid hunger.
Liver $Qi$ Stagnation (Stress Related Weight Gain): Emotional eating, "stress belly," and weight fluctuations tied to hormonal cycles or high pressure lifestyles.
Kidney $Yang$ Deficiency: Feeling cold easily, water retention/edema, and a metabolism that feels "stalled."

Our Integrated Solutions

1. Personalized Herbal Formulations

We prescribe medical grade herbs (like He Ye / Lotus Leaf or Shan Zha / Hawthorn Berry) designed to:

Boost lipid metabolism and digestion.
Naturally suppress excessive appetite.
Eliminate "Dampness" and reduce water retention.

2. Metabolic Acupuncture

Clinical studies show that targeted acupuncture can stimulate the auricular (ear) points and body meridians to:

Regulate hormones like leptin and ghrelin to control hunger.
Lower cortisol levels to reduce abdominal fat storage.
Improve insulin sensitivity.

3. Auricular (Ear) Seed Therapy

Small, painless seeds are placed on specific pressure points on the ear to provide 24/7 support. You can press these during moments of intense cravings to help stay on track with your nutritional goals.

4. Therapeutic Moxibustion

For those with "Cold" constitutions or slow metabolisms, we use heat therapy to warm the $Yang$ , invigorate the Spleen, and accelerate the body's natural fat burning processes.
