This invention belongs to the field of
traditional Chinese medicine preparations, specifically relating to a
traditional Chinese medicine composition for
weight loss, its preparation method, and its application. The
traditional Chinese medicine composition of this invention is made from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 15-25 parts
Angelica sinensis, 8-12 parts
Astragalus membranaceus, 8-12 parts Citrus reticulata peel, and 8-12 parts
Nelumbo nucifera leaf. In this invention,
Angelica sinensis is the principal
herb, promoting
blood circulation and unblocking collaterals;
Astragalus membranaceus is the assistant
herb, tonifying qi and promoting
digestion; Citrus reticulata peel is the
adjuvant herb, regulating qi and resolving
phlegm; and
Nelumbo nucifera leaf is the guiding herb, clearing heat and promoting
diuresis. The entire formula works synergistically to resolve
phlegm, promote
diuresis, strengthen the
spleen, and soothe the liver. Animal experiments have shown that the composition of this invention can significantly reduce
weight gain,
fat accumulation, and
liver fat content in
obese mice, improve
oral glucose tolerance, and reduce serum
triglyceride and low-density
lipoprotein cholesterol levels. At the same time, it can significantly restore the diversity of intestinal
flora α, increase the abundance of
beneficial bacteria and reduce the abundance of harmful
bacteria, effectively improve the intestinal
flora disorder induced by a high-
fat diet in mice, and the remodeled intestinal
flora can play a role in
weight loss. Thus, this invention provides a safe, effective, and palatable new traditional Chinese
medicine compound solution for metabolic disorders and intestinal microecological imbalance.
