What are the methods for weight loss and removing dampness?
Disease description:
I have a corpulent body type, and recently with the continuous rainy weather, I feel that there's excessive dampness in my body. I've also lost my appetite. I'd like to ask the doctor, what are some ways to reduce dampness for obese individuals?

Dr. Ding Yu
For obesity caused by dampness, methods such as cupping, acupuncture, gua sha, and sauna therapy can be used. Cupping can be applied to the abdomen and waist, or along the Conception Vessel, Belt Vessel, stomach meridian, and bladder meridian on the back to regulate the body's functions. Gua sha has certain therapeutic effects on obesity due to dampness. Acupuncture also has good regulatory effects on obesity caused by dampness. Patients are generally advised to balance work and rest and engage in regular physical exercise.
