OBESITY – CAUSES AND TREATMENT OPTIONS

Obesity is an affection defined as an

increase in body weight beyond the limitation of
skeletal and physical requirements, as the result
of excessive accumulation of body. Obesity
shows the existence of great hormonal disorders
in the body. At the same time it is also one of the
modern society specific affections.

According to a number of statistics drawn

by the World Health Organization, worldwide
over 300 million adult people suffer from
this disease in various forms.

Adipose tissue accumulation occurs as a result of psychical shocks that disturb the
mental balance and cause the onset of depressions. The nervous tension accumulated along
time disturbs the entire activity of the endocrine system.

Most frequently, the glands involved in these disorders are the pituitary gland, the
thyroid gland and the adrenals.

In most cases, the persons with weight problems “indulge in” the actual affection,
going on with the life style that has led them to this condition, but without taking into account
its effects in the long run.

Obesity is a risk factor that encourages the onset of serious chronic affections such as:

 Apnea and breathing disorders;

 High cholesterol level;
 Coronary heart diseases;
 Vascular accidents;
 Gall bladder diseases;
 Diabetes;
 Hypertension;
 Osteoporosis;
 Malignant diseases in the following organs: uterus, breast, colon and rectum,
kidneys, gall bladder.

 At the same time, these affections generate a series of associated effects in the body:

 Psychological affections: anxiety, depression, panics attacks, etc.;

 Menstrual disorders;
 Complications in the evolution of a pregnancy;
 Hirsutism (excessive body and face hair);
 Urinary incontinence (involuntary passage of urine due to the lack of control
upon the muscles of the urinary bladder);
 High risks of complications in case of surgeries;
 High mortality rate.

To these is also added the negative impact upon the entire metabolism. Depositing of
adipose tissue begins at the level of the internal organs that will be ”suffocated” under the
pressure of the fat deposits accumulated around them. Thus the functional disorder settles at
the level of the internal organs and systems of organs. The first organs to be affected are the
liver, the heart and the kidneys.

The primary metabolism decreases as intensity, a fact which leads to the reduction of
oxygen and food supplies to the organs and to the increase of cell toxicity. At this stage, the
vicious circle of the disease begins to take shape: the organs no longer receive the necessary
resources to function, yet they keep demanding them.

Trying to meet this basic need of the body, the patient eats larger amounts of food,
which leads to a permanent depositing of the fats in the body.

In the human body there is a very close

connection between its mass of adipose tissue
and the hormone quantity secreted by the
endocrine glands. Therefore, when weight is
lost without also restoring the hormonal
values, the lost kilograms will put back,
because the endocrine system produces the
same quantity of hormones. For these reasons
the diets or alimentary regimes must be
accompanied by proper treatment. First of all
the hormonal balance must be restored unless
any weight loss will be followed by gaining in
weight again.

Treatment

By combining its specific therapies, the traditional medicine enables the endocrine
balance and the function of organs to be restored.

By acupuncture, an information stream is transmitted to the brain which orders him to

reduce the hormone quantity, to bring the endocrine glands’ secretions back to normal values
and to accelerate the primary metabolism. The “hunger centre” is inhibited and the appetite
generated by the continuous demand of the “suffocated” organs decreases, thus breaking the
vicious circle of the disease. The liver activity is intensified, meaning that the liver will
mobilize the body’s lipidic reserves and it will turn them into the energy necessary for the
daily activity. The cell oxygenation process is also intensified.

The acupuncture sessions shall be combined with phytotherapeutic treatment and with
a diet drawn in accordance with each body’s needs. The herb products support and intensify
the action of acupuncture. The diet helps the body adjust sooner to the changes taking place
inside it. Through the foods contained in each diet, the body receives the energy necessary
both to the restoration and regeneration process and to the adipose tissue elimination.

The medicinal herbs, these natural antibiotics
and a treasure of health help treating any

and emotional overstrain, the term of
burnout syndrome refers especially to the
consequences of overworking.
In the traditional medicine, treatment of
burnout syndrome is centered upon
relaxation and tension release of the central
nervous system; reconstruction of the hypo
oxygenated or poorly vascularised cerebral
areas; relieving the osteoarticular and
muscular system of stress; dealing with the
tisular and the organic disorders; balancing
metabolism and immunity; improving
concentration and memory; restoring the
physical and emotional balance.
