TKM diet programs can be a bit expensive. Is there a way to save on costs while still getting the most essential treatments?
The key is to set priorities based on your specific body type rather than opting for every available treatment. To maximize efficiency and reduce costs, I recommend first assessing your current metabolic state and appetite control capacity, then adopting a step-by-step approach starting with the most essential prescriptions.
To be honest, before becoming a doctor of Korean Medicine, I went through a lot of trial and error with various diets myself, so I completely understand the frustration. The most effective way to save costs is not by looking for cheap packages, but by accurately identifying the 'stagnation point' in your body and treating only what is necessary.
Use the following checklist to prioritize the treatments you need most:
✓ If you struggle with cravings and intense 'false hunger' $\rightarrow$ Priority: [Appetite Control Herbal Medicine]
✓ If your body feels heavy, swells easily, or has poor circulation $\rightarrow$ Priority: [Removal of Dam-eum (Phlegm-Fluid) and Circulation Management]
✓ If you feel chronically fatigued and lack energy $\rightarrow$ Priority: [Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo) Improvement and Metabolic Boost]
✓ If blood circulation is stagnant due to post-surgery recovery or sudden weight gain $\rightarrow$ Priority: [Removal of Eohyeol (Blood Stasis)]
In TKM, 'Dam-eum' refers to the accumulation of metabolic waste that obstructs circulation, 'Spleen Deficiency' refers to a weakened digestive system leading to poor energy metabolism, and 'Eohyeol' refers to stagnant blood that blocks the smooth flow of Qi and blood.
Rather than starting with a full suite of treatments, the most economical approach is to consult with me to identify your most urgent 'bottleneck' and resolve it first. I will examine your condition thoroughly when you visit the clinic.
