With the improvement of people's living standards, the incidence of obesity is on the rise, which has become one of the important evils of modern civilized diseases such as diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. The root cause of obesity lies in overeating and high-calorie diet, which damages the spleen and stomach for a long time, weakens the function of transporting water and dampness of the spleen, and accumulates dampness and produces phlegm. Therefore, obese patients have more phlegm and dampness, and promoting diuresis and resolving phlegm is the first rule to treat obesity. Chinese medicine believes that Poria cocos is sweet and flat, and enters the heart, lungs and spleen. It has the functions of promoting diuresis, invigorating the spleen and regulating the stomach, eliminating dampness and resolving phlegm, fundamentally stimulating the spleen and stomach to transport water and dampness, and achieving the purpose of resolving phlegm and losing weight. Therefore, obese people often drink Poria cocos tea, which can reduce blood fat and lose weight, making the body increasingly fit. Usage: Poria cocos 10 ~ 20g, put in a cup and brew with boiling water instead of tea, once a day 1 dose.
