Obesity has become a global health crisis, affecting over 1 billion people worldwide. Some resort to extreme dieting or intense exercise for weight loss but encounter significant challenges and a high risk of rebound. On the other hand, some individuals, despite controlling their food intake, experience water retention leading to a condition known as edema. In this article, we will explore several traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) methods, including acupressure massage, tapping therapy, and dietary adjustments, that can contribute to effective and healthy weight management.

Today, it is widely recognized that obesity is linked to cardiovascular diseases, Type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. Therefore, successful weight loss can prevent the onset of many diseases.
