Clearing dampness from the body a key factor in Natural Weight Loss
Dampness
Dampness is a term used in Chinese medicine to describe the accumulation of excess fluid within the body. This can either be due to living in a damp environment or excessive intake of damp foods. Dampness can also be caused by a failure of the ‘Spleen’ to properly separate the nutrition from waste material when we eat or drink. This waste material should be excreted from the body but if the “Spleen” is weak and unable to regulate the digestive system correctly this waste material can start to accumulate in the body, and this is described as dampness.
Dampness in the body
Dampness can affect the body in several different ways. If it sits in our body tissues then it is similar to body fat leading to weight gain and increase in body size. If dampness sits in the network of energy channels in the body it will disturb the circulation of qi (vital energy) leading to a heaviness of the limbs and a general lethargy and lack of energy. If it sits in the mind is can lead to a mental lethargy and lack of motivation. Dampness is also described as being sticky in nature which refers to the difficulty of removing it from the body once it manifests which is why some people find it exceptionally difficult to loose weight even though they are doing everything right.
Hypnopuncture removes dampness from the body
Hypnopuncture can help remove dampness from the body in several ways. The combination of acupuncture and hypnosis forcefully motivates the qi circulation of the body, helping to drain the channels and meridians of dampness. This reinstates the normal flow of qi which will lead to increased energy and motivation levels.
Hypnopuncture also supports the digestive system and strengthens the spleen, improving the body’s ability to remove dampness on its own. Knowing what foods will increase and decrease dampness in the body is obviously helpful when trying to lose weight. Certain foods such as dark green vegetables like spinach can help to clear dampness from the body. Whereas other foods such as dairy products are damp in nature and will slow down the bodies’ metabolism because of it.
The information provided to all Hypnopuncture weight loss clients enables them to make informed choices about nutrition based on a system of medicine which sees food very differently to Western science.
