TCM Composition for Abdominal Obesity Using Self-Service and Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current treatments for abdominal obesity, including exercise and drugs, often have limited effectiveness and side effects, and there is a lack of effective traditional Chinese medicine compositions for addressing this condition.
Innovation Solution
A traditional Chinese medicine composition made from Coicis Semen, Hippophae Fructus, Citri Rubrum Exocarpium, and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, which is prepared by mixing and decocting these herbs with water, then filtering and concentrating the solution, to create a formulation that reduces waist circumference, visceral fat, and inflammation-related factors in serum.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Weight of moving object
If exercise is used to lose weight, then weight loss is achieved, but weight is likely to be regained when exercise stops
Solution Approach 1:
The patent develops traditional Chinese medicine compositions that enable the body to autonomously regulate metabolism and fat breakdown without requiring continuous external intervention like exercise. The formulas contain herbs that stimulate the body's own fat-metabolizing enzymes and hormonal regulation systems, creating a self-sustaining weight management mechanism that persists without ongoing physical activity.
2Weight of moving object
If drugs are used to suppress appetite and increase energy consumption, then weight loss is achieved, but side effects such as diarrhea, arrhythmia, liver and kidney damage occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs composite traditional Chinese medicine formulas combining multiple herbs with complementary functions. The compositions integrate fat-metabolizing herbs, spleen-strengthening herbs, and liver-protective herbs work together synergistically to achieve weight loss while minimizing toxic effects. This multi-component approach distributes the physiological burden across different herbal agents rather than relying on a single potent compound.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent modifies the chemical parameters of active ingredients through traditional processing methods such as decoction, steaming, and fermentation. These processing techniques transform raw herbal materials into forms with reduced toxicity and enhanced bioavailability, changing the pharmacological parameters to achieve therapeutic effects at lower doses with fewer side effects.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If traditional Chinese medicine compositions are developed for abdominal obesity treatment, then safer treatment options are available, but there have been rare reports of effective TCM products for this condition
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the treatment approach into specialized formula types targeting different aspects of abdominal obesity: formulas focused on fat metabolism, formulas for spleen deficiency, formulas for liver stagnation, and combined formulas. This segmentation allows optimization of each formula for specific therapeutic goals while maintaining safety profiles, addressing the lack of targeted TCM solutions for abdominal obesity.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to the field of health food technology, in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine composition, preparation method and use thereof. The traditional Chinese medicine composition is made from Coicis Semen, Hippophae Fructus, Citri Rubrum Exocarpium and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. The traditional Chinese medicine composition uses less species of Chinese herbs and has significant effect on reducing the circumference of waist and abdomen, reducing the weight of visceral fat and anti-inflammation by reasonable combination, and does not have side effects.
