Effective slimming formula

 https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1AM3WpaaLq/

泽泻 15 g

茯苓 20g

This is a classic TCM slimming combination.
The formula with 泽泻 (Zé Xiè) and 茯苓 (Fú Líng) works so well for slimming because it directly targets “dampness” and water retention, which are the main hidden causes of obesity in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Let’s break it down:

---

🌊 1. 泽泻 (Zé Xiè – Alisma Orientale) 15g

Nature & Taste: Cold, sweet, bland
Meridians: Kidney, Bladder
Functions:

• Strongly drains dampness through urination

• Clears heat and turbidity from the lower body

• Eliminates water retention (especially in abdomen, thighs, and face)

• Helps lower lipid levels and reduce internal fat

🔹 Slimming effect:
Zé Xiè helps to flush excess fluids and metabolic waste, improving water metabolism and reducing bloating or puffiness caused by damp accumulation.
It also supports the kidneys’ water regulation function, making fat metabolism more efficient.

---

🍄 2. 茯苓 (Fú Líng – Poria Cocos) 20g

Nature & Taste: Neutral, sweet, bland
Meridians: Heart, Spleen, Kidney, Lung
Functions:

• Drains dampness and promotes urination

• Strengthens the spleen, improving digestion and nutrient absorption

• Calms the mind (useful for emotional eaters)

🔹 Slimming effect:
By strengthening the spleen, Fú Líng helps your body transform food and fluids properly, preventing damp accumulation (which turns into fat).
It also reduces edema, promotes steady energy, and balances appetite.

⚖️ Combined Effect: “Drain Damp + Strengthen Spleen”

This two-herb combo:

1. Drains existing dampness (Zé Xiè)

2. Prevents new damp from forming (Fú Líng)

Together, they:

• Reduce water retention and bloating

• Support healthy metabolism

• Promote fat breakdown indirectly by restoring spleen and kidney harmony

• Help with lower belly fat, puffy face, and swollen legs

💡 For even better slimming results:

You can safely combine with herbs that:

• Move Qi and resolve phlegm: 陈皮, 半夏

• Strengthen spleen and drain damp: 白术

• Activate blood & reduce fat: 山楂, 决明子

That combination becomes similar to Er Chen Tang + Ze Xie + Fu Ling — a strong base for weight loss and water metabolism improvement.

A modern slimming version of Er Chen Tang that keeps the classic phlegm-damp draining functions but is enhanced for weight loss, water retention, and digestion. 🌿
