My InBody results show a very high abdominal fat percentage. What treatments do you recommend at a Korean medicine clinic?

It can be quite shocking to see those numbers on an InBody report; please know that you are not alone in feeling concerned. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), abdominal obesity is often viewed not merely as a 'calorie' issue, but as a 'circulation' problem. Specifically, we look at the influence of Dam-eum (痰飮, phlegm-fluid retention) and Eo-hyeol (瘀血, blood stasis). Dam-eum refers to the accumulation of metabolic waste, and Eo-hyeol refers to stagnant blood flow. When these accumulate in the abdominal area, they create 'stubborn fat' that resists simple fasting. The advantage of TKM is that it flips the body's metabolic switch to burn fat and reduces edema to make the body feel lighter. For those with Bi-heo (脾虛, Spleen deficiency/weak digestive function), reckless fasting often leads to muscle loss; our herbal medicine supports the Spleen and Stomach functions to ensure that body fat is targeted for loss instead. There are, of course, considerations to keep in mind. Some patients may find the unique aroma or taste of herbal medicine challenging at first. Additionally, some may experience initial palpitations or insomnia as the metabolism accelerates; we manage these symptoms through careful dosage adjustments. Ultimately, the solution lies in your unique constitution. Some patients require strong appetite suppression, while others need to clear blocked circulatory pathways first. The most effective path is to visit our clinic for a consultation to determine whether your condition is rooted in Dam-eum or Bi-heo and set a tailored direction for your treatment.
