Abstract:

The theory of "immature Yin-Yang" is one of the core theories used to explain the characteristics of children. Its essence refers to the fact that children are in an underdeveloped state in terms of material basis or physiological functions and activities. Modern medicine believes that the core mechanism of childhood obesity is related to the theory of "immature Yin-Yang" in traditional Chinese medicine. This article deeply explores the pathological mechanism of childhood obesity and the strategies for differential diagnosis and treatment, with the aim of providing classic theoretical basis and clinical practice guidance for the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity with traditional Chinese medicine in modern times.
