Lose it with Chi

Are you trying to lose a few extra kilos, but having no success?

TCM offers a unique and effective approach to weight loss success.

According to TCM, the inability to lose weight is due to a specific Chi deficiency and not solely a function of taking in more calories than what your body needs.

The exact Chi deficiency is different for each person, however in most cases of weight gain, although there may be several meridian imbalances, there is always a spleen Chi deficiency.

In basic terms, a spleen Chi deficiency results in weak digestion and the inability of your body to absorb or transport food effectively. This means that no matter what or how much you eat, you are left feeling tired, sluggish and hungry, causing you to turn to more food to satisfy your hunger and create energy.

A spleen Chi deficiency can be caused by eating late at night, eating on the run or when stressed, eating too many sweet or cold foods or drinks, too little sleep, excessive worrying or mental exertion or lack of movement. All factors which most of us have to deal with every day.

In addition to weight gain and/or the inability to lose weight, other symptoms of spleen Chi deficiency include; anxiety, dizziness, mood swings, period problems, bowel irregularities, bloating, heavy feeling in the body, loss of muscle tone, lack of energy, feeling un-nurtured, neediness or addictive behaviours.

Since all the meridians are dependent on each other, and for good health there must a free flow of Chi throughout the body, if this spleen Chi deficiency is not addressed, the entire body will be affected, leading to further internal imbalance and dis-ease.
