Q. What is the process for getting a prescription for weight loss herbal medicine at a Korean medicine clinic?

A.

The process begins with a 1:1 consultation to thoroughly assess your current health, eating habits, sleep patterns, and previous dieting experiences. Based on your constitution and health status, a customized prescription is provided, focusing either on appetite control or metabolic improvement to ensure a healthy weight loss journey tailored to your body.

📝 Detailed Answer

Many people try extreme fasting out of desperation, which often leads to dizziness and severe fatigue. Based on this clinical experience, we avoid unconditional calorie restriction and instead focus on restoring the body's internal balance. The prescription process generally follows two paths: First, for those struggling with excessive appetite (the 'Food-Craving Type'), we focus on removing 'Dameum' (痰飮)—the accumulation of metabolic waste that obstructs the flow of Qi and blood. This helps reduce 'false hunger' and allows for a natural reduction in food intake. Second, for those who struggle to lose weight despite eating small amounts (the 'Low-Metabolism Type'), we often address 'Bi-heo' (脾虛)—a deficiency in the Spleen/Digestive system that impairs energy production. In this case, rather than suppressing appetite, we prescribe herbs to strengthen the Spleen and boost the overall basal metabolic rate. If you have previously experienced severe palpitations or insomnia from Western weight loss medications, please let us know. We will meticulously adjust the concentration and composition of the herbal ingredients to accommodate your sensitivity. Since prescriptions vary entirely based on your constitution and current condition, a personalized in-clinic consultation is the most accurate way to determine your plan.
