Supporting Healthy Fat Metabolism and Long-Term Cardiovascular Wellness
Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood. Elevated levels are associated with increased cardiovascular risk and are often connected to insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and dietary patterns.

Chinese Medicine Perspective
How Chinese Medicine Views This Condition
In Chinese Medicine, elevated triglycerides are often understood as a manifestation of Dampness and Phlegm accumulation within the body. When the Spleen Qi becomes deficient, the body loses its ability to properly transform and transport fluids and nutrients, allowing turbid substances to accumulate in the blood.
Liver Qi Stagnation may further impair the smooth flow of metabolism, while Blood Stasis indicates that circulation has become sluggish and inefficient. These patterns often develop together over time, creating a cycle of impaired transformation, accumulation, and reduced metabolic function.
Treatment focuses on strengthening the Spleen's transformative capacity, resolving Dampness and Phlegm, promoting smooth Liver Qi flow, invigorating Blood circulation, and restoring the body's natural ability to metabolize fats efficiently.
