Obesity refers to accumulation of fat in the body due to changes of the biochemical and physiological functions. Clinically body weight increase by 20% more than the standard level is regarded as obesity, usually accompanied by abnormal changes of appetite and sleep, sweating, dry mouth and disorder of stool. TCM believes that obesity is mainly due to disorder of the spleen and stomach as well as dyfunction of defensive qi. The pathological changes are blood sthenia and qi asthenia, exuberance of yin and deficiency of yang as well as disorder of qi and blood. In-sufficiency of primordial qi in the triple energizer affects metabolism of water and transformation of qi, conse-quently leading to obesity.
