(two days a week the herbs are not take so as not to build a tolerance)

Wu Long Cha (Folium Praeparatum Camellia)	150 mg
He Shou Wu (Radix Polygoni Multiflori)	75 mg
Mai Ya (Fructus Germinatus Hordei)	50 mg
Dang Shen (Radix Codonopsis)	50 mg
Bai Zhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae)	50 mg
He Ye (Folium Nelumbinis)	50 mg
Shan Zha (Fructus Crataegi)	50 mg
Tu Bei Chong (Eupolyphaga/Steleophaga)	25 mg

Within this formula, Dang Shen and Bai Zhu fortify the spleen and transform dampness. If the spleen becomes vacuous and weak, it will fail to command the movement and transportation of water and grains, or foods and liquids. In that case, stagnant food will be produced which, on the one hand, adds to the engenderment of turbidity and, on the other, further damages the spleen by inhibiting the upbearing of the clear of the qi mechanism. Within this formula, Mai Ya and Shan Zha disperse food and abduct stagnation. In addition, He Ye upbears the clear and arouse the spleen, thus not only helping to eliminate stagnant food but also helping to fortify and boost the spleen qi. He Ye is also able to dispel phlegm and dampness. Because phlegm dampness and stagnant food are both yin depressions, they obstruct the free flow of the qi. Therefore, whether or not the qi was stagnant and the liver was depressed before the accumulation of phlegm, dampness, food, and turbidity, there will be liver depression qi stagnation after these yin evils are engendered. In point of fact, it is commonly pre-existing liver depression which leads to both the spleen vacuity and accumulation of phlegm dampness characteristic of aging. Tu Bie Chong is in the formula because many persons who are habitually overweight also have blood stasis. This is because the qi moves the blood and blood and fluids move together. Thus phlegm and dampness obstruct the movement and free flow of the blood as well as the qi which moves the blood. Tu Bei Chong quickens the blood and dispels stasis. He Shou Wu is in the formula because it supplements and boost the liver and kidneys. By nourishing liver blood, it helps promote the liver’s control of the coursing and discharge of the qi. By supplementing the kidney essence, it promotes the interdependence of the former and latter heavens. And finally, Wu Long Cha (Oolong tea, Chinese fermented tea) is the formula because it arouses the spleen, transforms phlegm, abducts stagnation, and disinhibits dampness.

About Empirical Weight Support Formula According To Chinese Medicine:

Obesity may be treated with herbs to help suppress appetite, increase energy and support the metabolism, as well as to eliminate the accumulation of dampness and water.

The use of this combination of herbs has been shown to be effective to slowly and steadily lower body weight. Based on clinical experience and case studies, most individuals lose an average of 1 pound per week while taking this herbal formula. (Chen)

Therefore, this combination of herbs is considered to be a gentle formula that needs to be taken on a long-term basis for optimal results, along with of course the necessary lifestyle changes.

For those who are grossly overweight and have immediate health risks, use of this formula is inappropriate and not recommended, as it will not cause instantaneous weight loss.

Lastly, it is extremely important to remember there is no magic bullet for weight loss. Without commitment to changing diet and lifestyles, use of either drugs or herbs will have limited effectiveness.

It is a statement of fact within Chinese medicine that, “Heavy people have lots of phlegm and dampness.” In fact, fat is nothing other than phlegm, dampness, and turbidity according to Chinese medicine.

It is also a statement of fact within Chinese medicine that, “The spleen is the root of phlegm engenderment.” Basically, phlegm is nothing other than water and fluids which have collected and transformed into dampness, and if dampness endures, it then congeals into phlegm. Because the spleen is averse to dampness, whether spleen vacuity lead to the engenderment of dampness, once formed, dampness leads to spleen vacuity.

This means that the overwhelming majority of persons struggling with being over weight will present with a combination of spleen vacuity and phlegm dampness.

What does this mean? It means through dietary taxation (poor lifestyle choices) the digestive system has actually becomes damaged and thus does not effectively process nutrition.
