With the healing methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), excess weight can be reduced. This has been found by physicians at the German Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine in Bad Füssing, Lower Bavaria. Patients can “melt away” superfluous pounds with a special combination therapy of total healing fasting and ancient Chinese treatment methods in Germany’s largest TCM clinic.
Chinese therapeutic fasting
The treatment, which not only reduces excess body weight but can also act preventively to reduce high blood pressure or even pre-existing coronary heart disease, lasts two weeks. Chinese therapeutic fasting goes far beyond the usual calorie reduction.
The far eastern therapy wants to bring above all body and spirit in agreement. Weight is reduced only slowly during the two-week therapy, but in the long term. Regular Qi Gong movement exercises and special acupuncture treatments to curb appetite accompany the therapy and are an important key to the long-term success of the cure.
Slimming cure without “yo-yo effect”
The yo-yo effect that is otherwise often seen with slimming diets, which leads to weight gain again after the cure, is absent with appropriate patient behavior. Several 100 patients have already successfully completed the Chinese fasting therapy at the German Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine in Bad Füssing.
“In the Chinese fasting cure, the balance of body and soul is established,” says Dr. Weizhong Sun, chief physician of the TCM clinic. “Therefore, weight reductions of 20 pounds and more are quite possible according to our experience.”
