ChinaMed Weight Management Formula 78c

This is an empirical formula that may assist overweight and obese patients to loose weight. An integrative approach has been adopted in its development. From a TCM perspective, the pathogenesis of this disorder is complex and generally involves retention of Phlegm-Damp, retained Fluid, Qi stagnation and constipation. In terms of Western biomedicine, liver function (particularly in relation to the metabolism of fats) tends to be sluggish, as also are the bowels. By combining these two approaches the formula's actions are focused on the common disease mechanisms in patients with excess body fat.

The formula may help to promote fluid metabolism in order to allow the shedding of excess fluid. It is more suited to patients with underlying deficiency conditions, characterized by fatigue, pallor, weak pulse, etc.

Obesity is a significant public health crisis and has been linked to early mortality, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, colon disorders, and some skin disorders. Although patients visiting a TCM practitioner will most likely have heard all of this from their GP or through the media, it generally helps their motivation if the message is reinforced by their practitioner.

It should go without saying that herbal treatment for weight loss must always be accompanied by proper attention to lifestyle factors, specifically diet and exercise. Carbohydrate restriction ‐ but not total calorie restriction ‐ with regular aerobic as well as resistance exercise, are the essential components of a sensible weight loss program. The addition of an herbal formula provides an additional and, in many cases, crucial supporting factor.
