Doctor Warns Against Dangerous Tea-Enema Weight-Loss Trend in China

A risky weight-loss trend involving drinking a mixture of an external-use constipation medication with tea has gained popularity on Chinese social media, leading to several hospitalizations. The method promises rapid results, with some claiming it helps shed up to 4 kilograms in just two days. Viral videos posted by influencers have fueled the trend, showing them promoting this extreme slimming technique. Doctors have issued urgent warnings, advising the public not to attempt this practice. The mixture, typically used externally for constipation relief, can be toxic when ingested and may cause severe side effects such as dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and damage to the digestive system. Medical professionals emphasize that such dangerous methods are not only ineffective for long-term weight loss but also pose serious health risks. The trend reflects ongoing concerns about extreme dieting culture on social media, where unverified and harmful advice can spread quickly. Authorities have not yet announced any actions against the promotion of this trend, but doctors urge people to consult medical experts before trying any unconventional weight-loss remedies. Safe weight management, they say, should involve a balanced diet and regular exercise under professional guidance.
