follows", it is believed that pediatric obesity is primarily involves the key pathogenesis of constraint and stagnation due to
yang
deficiency, and the excessive accumulation of
yin
turbid. The root cause lies in the spleen-stomach
yang
deficiency and impaired digestion and transformation, while the branch manifestation is characterized by constraint and stagnation in
sanjiao
(三焦) and excessive accumulation of
yin
turbid. This emphasizes the imbalance between the governing function of
yang qi
and the transformation mechanism of
yin
essence in the overall pathological process. Accordingly, the treatment approach of reinforcing
yang
and unblocking stagnation, inhibiting
yin
and resolving turbid has been proposed. And a comprehensive treatm
ent plan is suggested, including abdominal tuina combined with spinal manipulation, timed acupuncture according to the the eightfold method of the sacred tortoise, syndrome differentiation-based acupuncture, and mild moxibustion. This approach aims to provide an integrated approach for the prevention and treatment of pediatric obesity.
