How do I get a customized herbal weight loss prescription based on my constitution, and how should I take it?

I personally understand the struggle of trying to lose weight through extreme fasting; it often leads to dizziness and severe fatigue. Since the root cause of weight gain varies by individual, taking a 'one-size-fits-all' herbal remedy can actually be detrimental to your health. At Baekrokdam, we approach weight loss through two primary diagnostic pathways: First, for the 'Spleen Deficiency' (Bi-heo) type, characterized by low energy and poor digestive function. When the Spleen's function weakens, metabolism slows down, leading to easy bloating and weight gain. In this case, rather than simple suppression, we prescribe herbs that boost vital energy (Qi) while facilitating the removal of metabolic waste. Second, for those with excessive internal heat and difficulty suppressing appetite. These individuals often have an accumulation of 'Phlegm-Fluid' (Dam-eum), which are improperly metabolized waste products. This requires a prescription that clears heat and eliminates Phlegm-Fluid to restore a smooth metabolic flow. Additionally, if symptoms of 'Blood Stasis' (Eo-hyeol) are present, we add herbs to improve circulation and clear blockages. Because we differentiate prescriptions based on these constitutional markers, it is essential to adjust the dosage during the initial stages of treatment while monitoring your body's reaction. The most effective way to start is to visit the clinic for a consultation. Understanding your precise constitutional state is the only way to avoid trial-and-error and ensure you are moving in the most efficient direction toward your goals.
