How exactly does Gambijeong, the herbal weight-loss medicine, work to help me lose weight?

Simply starving yourself is rarely the answer. Many people find that extreme fasting only leads to fatigue and a rapid rebound in weight. This is why Gambijeong focuses on increasing your basal metabolic rate (BMR) rather than just suppressing hunger.

From a Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) perspective, weight gain is often linked to Dam-jeok (痰積), a condition where accumulated metabolic waste obstructs the circulation of Qi and Blood. If you try to lose weight without resolving this blockage, your body becomes easily exhausted.

• Increased Energy Expenditure: By raising internal metabolic heat, it encourages the body to burn calories even while at rest.
• Appetite Control: It helps soothe 'false hunger' and allows you to feel satiety more quickly.
• Detoxification: It removes Eohyeol (瘀血) (blood stasis) and phlegm-fluid to reduce swelling and edema.
