Nursing Experience of Balanced Cupping Combined with Bagua Abdominal Therapy Based on the Theory of "Yang Transforming into Qi and Yin Forming into Shape" in Treating a Patient with Spleen-Kidney Yang Deficiency Type Abdominal Obesity
This article addresses the management of abdominal obesity in patients with yang deficiency constitution, and explores the clinical value of balanced cupping combined with Bagua abdominal massage as a weight-reduction nursing intervention. The patient was treated with standardized balanced cupping therapy to unblock the meridians, coupled with Bagua abdominal therapy to regulate the spleen's transformative and transportative functions, supplemented by dietary and exercise guidance. Following the intervention, the patient's body weight and abdominal circumference were markedly reduced, and yang-deficiency-related symptoms showed notable improvement. This combined regimen exerts effects of unblocking meridians, resolving dampness, and promoting metabolism, thereby providing a safe and feasible nursing approach for traditional Chinese medicine external treatment of abdominal obesity associated with yang deficiency. It merits clinical promotion and may also offer a reference for precision-based interventions and mechanistic investigations of this condition.
