While losing weight through diet alone is a clean approach, the body often perceives a sudden calorie deficit as an 'emergency.' In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), this can lead to 'Spleen Deficiency' (脾虛, Bi-heo), where weakened digestive functions lower energy levels and often lead to a vicious cycle of binge eating. Simply starving yourself is rarely a sustainable solution. Rather than focusing solely on calorie restriction, TKM focuses on clearing internal obstructions. Specifically, we target 'Blood Stasis' (瘀血, Eo-hyeol) and 'Phlegm-Fluid' (痰飮, Dam-eum)—metabolic waste products that hinder efficient energy consumption. By resolving these, your body can burn energy more effectively even with similar food intake. Unlike some pharmaceutical weight-loss drugs that may cause strong side effects like heart palpitations or insomnia, herbal medicine is customized to an individual's constitution (Sasang typology) and current health status. This allows for a gentler adaptation process. The first step should be determining whether your body is currently exhausted or if your metabolic rate has simply slowed down.
