Objectives : This study was designed to investigate possibilities of herbal acupuncture for obesity.
Methods : We researched into 23 kinds of literature and considered acupoints and herbs of herbal acupuncture for obesity.
Results : Prescriptions for obesity include Erchentang(ì£òç÷·), Liujunzitang(ë»ÏÖí÷·) for phlegm-retention syndrome(ÓÃëæ), Wulingsan(çé?ߤ), Qianghuoshengshitang(˶üÀãã¥÷·), Shenshitang(?ã¥÷·), Lingguishugantang(?ÌýõôÊö÷·) for Dampness syndrome(ã¥ñû) and Pingweisan(øÁêÖߤ) for activating spleen and stomach(ê¡ûùÞ¡êÖ). And Rhizoma atractylodis(óïõô), Tuber pinelliae(Úâù¾), Rhizoma atractylodis macrocephalae(ÛÜõô), Fructus ponciri(ò¬ÊÃ), Fructus immaturus ponciri(ò¬ãù), Poria(ÜÚ?), Semen coicis(ëûì¾ìÒ), Rhizoma alismatis(÷ÊÞá) Fructus amomi(ÞãìÒ), Polyporus umbellatus(îÄ?), Medulla tetrapanacis(÷×õ®) can be used for both herbal medication and herbal acupuncture. And also there are some important acupoints for treating obesity, which are Sanyinjiao(ß²ëäÎß), Pishu(Þ¡êä), Gongsun(ÍëáÝ), Fenglong(ù¥×Ì), Yinlingquan(ëä×Õô»), Zusanli(ðëß²×ì), Qihai(Ѩú), Sanjiaoshu(ß²õ¥êä), Zhongwan(ñéèÒ), Neiguan(Үμ), Weishu(êÖêä), Shenshu(ãìêä) and Shangjuxu(ß¾ËÝúÈ).
Conclusions : We recommend that herbal acupuncture can be used for obesity. This method is a kind of injection using herbal extract, which can apply pharmacognosy theory and meridian system at the same time.
