Q. How should I take diet herbal medicine based on my body constitution? I'm curious about the method.

A.

First, we will carefully examine your current physical condition together. Since the dosage and timing vary by constitution and symptoms, those with strong appetite may take it before meals to reduce hunger, while those with low energy or digestive issues will have their dosage and intervals adjusted to minimize physical strain. Think of it as a collaborative process of tailoring the treatment to your body's reactions.

📝 Detailed Answer

Diet herbal medicine is not simply about 'suppressing appetite.' Having personally experienced the exhaustion and dizziness that comes from overly aggressive fasting in the past, I deeply empathize with the struggles my patients face. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we apply different approaches based on your unique constitution: First, for the 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid retention) type, where metabolism slows down due to the accumulation of waste products, we focus on discharging unnecessary fluids and toxins from the body, combining medication with dietary control. Conversely, for the 'Bi-heo' (Spleen deficiency) type, those with weak digestive functions may experience a sharp drop in energy even with mild medication. In such cases, we incorporate tonifying herbs to maintain stamina while gradually increasing the metabolic rate. Lastly, for those with significant 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis), where blood circulation is stagnant, we first clear the factors hindering circulation to improve the efficiency of weight loss. We then adjust the herbal composition and dosage in stages. The core principle is 'how your body responds.' Rather than following a fixed manual, please share the symptoms you experience during the process. This allows us to find the most comfortable, personalized regimen for you.
