Yoshimasu formula

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Yoshimasu formula is an individual diet program for weight reduction based on the traditional diagnosis and treatment instructions of the influential Japanese Kampo doctor Yoshimasu Tōdō (1702–1773).

method

Yoshimasu completely reinterpreted the prescriptions of Kampo medicine derived from Chinese medicine and established palpation of the abdomen (palpation of the abdominal wall) as a diagnostic method in Kampo medicine for the first time. He hypothesized that improper nutrition causes disturbances in the biological system, resulting in weight gain, which, if no intervention is made , can lead to chronic obesity .

In accordance with the then generally accepted medical doctrine that illnesses arise as a result of a disturbed energy cycle, he saw externally supplied "docu" (poison) as the trigger of a "systemic imbalance" that should be compensated for with medicine as an antidote - obesity as Result of an external "poisoning" by food or by certain combinations of food and spices.

As with other treatments in traditional Chinese medicine and Japanese Kampo medicine, the different disease triggers in each individual case require an individual therapy that is tailored to the patient. The prescribed formulas therefore vary depending on the therapist, who is available as a guide for diagnosis and treatment, including Yoshimasu's works "Ruiju ho" (collection of prescriptions) and "Yakucho" (pharmacology of herbs). Each patient goes through an individually determined "cleaning phase" in which the organism is brought back into "balance" with the help of "counter docu" (= special dietary regulations).

A team of researchers from Washington University School of Medicine has proven that the composition of intestinal bacteria , which is modulated by food , is involved in the development of obesity . However, there is no proof of the benefit of the method.
