Common Conditions:

Diabetes, Obesity / Metabolic Syndrome, Thyroid
Dysfunction, Menstrual Irregularities, Osteoporosis.

TCM Mechanism:

Diabetes:

Often attributed to yin deficiency with internal heat, combined with qi and fluid depletion. Excessive thirst, hunger, and urination (the “three excesses”) reflect imbalance in the lung, spleen, and kidney systems.

Obesity / Metabolic Syndrome:

Linked to spleen deficiency with dampness accumulation, phlegm retention, and qi stagnation, leading to weight gain, sluggish metabolism, and fatigue.

Thyroid Dysfunction:

Hyperthyroidism may be related to yin deficiency with yang hyperactivity, while hypothyroidism often corresponds to yang deficiency, phlegm-damp retention, and qi stagnation.

Menstrual Irregularities:

Often caused by liver qi stagnation, blood deficiency, or kidney yin-yang disharmony, resulting in irregular cycles, amenorrhea, or painful menstruation.

Osteoporosis:

Attributed to kidney deficiency (kidneys “govern the bones”), as well as liver and spleen weakness, leading to fragile bones, joint pain, and poor calcium metabolism.

Indications:

  • Patients with diabetes, prediabetes, or metabolic syndrome seeking supportive natural regulation.
  • Individuals struggling with obesity, slow metabolism, or hormonal imbalance.
  • Patients with thyroid problems (overactive or underactive) causing fatigue, weight changes, or mood issues.
  • Women with menstrual disorders such as irregular cycles, dysmenorrhea, or amenorrhea.
  • Adults and elderly individuals at risk of or experiencing osteoporosis, bone weakness, or degenerative bone changes.
