Exploring the Mechanism of Traditional Chinese Medicine Yoga for Weight Management Based on Qi and Blood Theory

Obesity has become a significant challenge in global public health, characterized by complex pathological mechanisms closely linked to metabolic disorders, endocrine imbalances, and lifestyle factors. Integrating traditional Chinese medicine theory with classical yoga systems, Chinese medicine yoga emerges as an innovative health intervention. Centered on the core target of “qi and blood harmonization,” it employs multidimensional approaches—including postural exercises, breath regulation, and meridian stimulation—to achieve dual objectives of weight management and holistic health enhancement. This paper systematically examines the compatibility between TCM qi-blood theory and yoga practice, delves into the core mechanism of “qi-blood nourishment for weight management” in TCM yoga, and offers new insights for comprehensive obesity intervention.
