The invention discloses a
traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating
simple obesity, and a preparation method and an application thereof. The
traditional Chinese medicine composition is prepared by using 5-30 parts by
mass of white atractylodes
rhizome, 10-30 parts by
mass of fried
turtle shell, 10-20 parts by
mass of
inula flowers, 10-20 parts by mass of
curcuma zedoary and 10-20 parts by mass of giant knotweed
rhizome as raw materials. Specifically, the preparation method comprises the following steps of weighing all medicines according to the above proportions; smashing the fried
turtle shell; adding water 10 times by volume that of the fried
turtle shell; decocting for 30 minutes; adding traditional Chinese medicinal materials; adding water and decocting for two times, wherein the volume of added water in each time is 8-10 times that of a total mass of the medicines; and the time for each decoction is 0.5-1 hour; merging extract solutions obtained by the two times of decoction; filtering, concentrating, and
drying to obtain a dry extract. Animal experiments show that the composition can significantly reduce
body weight,
liver weight and fat weight of high-fat obese rats, significantly reduce the contents of liver
cholesterol and
liver triglyceride in the high-fat obese rats, regulate
lipid metabolism and improve
liver functions. The
medicine effects are related to the fact that the composition can increase
bile flow, regulate and increase
bile acid subfractions that can promote
bile secretion and the
lipid metabolism.
