Is Yin Chen's weight loss effect good

Yin Chen may have a certain auxiliary effect on weight loss, but the effect varies from person to person. Yinchen mainly contains components such as chlorogenic acid and volatile oil, which may affect body weight by promoting bile secretion and regulating lipid metabolism. However, relying solely on Artemisia scoparia cannot achieve significant weight loss effects, and a combination of dietary control and exercise is needed. The chlorogenic acid in Artemisia scoparia may inhibit fat absorption and accelerate metabolism, and some individuals may experience mild diuresis or increased gastrointestinal motility after use. Its traditional application is mostly targeted at damp heat constitution. If there are symptoms such as yellow and greasy tongue coating, short and red urine, it may be more suitable for use. However, Yin Chen has a slightly cold nature, and long-term overdose may lead to diarrhea or spleen and stomach deficiency cold, especially for those with yang deficiency constitution, it should be used with caution. Currently, there is a lack of high-quality clinical studies to confirm the direct weight loss effect of Artemisia scoparia. Animal experiments have shown that its extract can reduce body fat percentage in mice fed a high-fat diet, but the human effect is not yet clear. Adding Artemisia scoparia to some weight loss teas is often combined with other ingredients, and its effectiveness is limited when used alone. Attention should be paid to the potential safety hazards of adding diuretics or laxatives to commercially available Artemisia scoparia products in violation of regulations.

It is recommended to use Artemisia scoparia as an auxiliary method, with a daily dosage of no more than 10 grams of dry food. It can be combined with medicinal and edible materials such as hawthorn and lotus leaves. Stop immediately if adverse reactions such as abdominal pain and dizziness occur. Weight management still needs to be based on daily calorie deficit, combined with at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week. Individuals with severe obesity or metabolic disorders should seek medical attention first and not rely solely on herbal remedies.
