It is a very common concern to wonder why herbal medicine carries a higher price point. Unlike mass-produced standardized supplements, TKM prescriptions are customized exclusively for each patient, involving a meticulous process of selecting specific herbs based on your unique constitution. In Traditional Korean Medicine, the root causes of weight gain are often the accumulation of 'Phlegm-fluid' (Damyum)—metabolic waste—and 'Blood Stasis' (Eohyeol), which is stagnant blood. If you only suppress appetite without clearing these internal toxins, weight regain is almost inevitable once you stop the medication. Specifically, when one is in a state of 'Spleen Deficiency' (Pi-xu), the digestive and metabolic functions are weakened, causing the body to swell and gain weight easily even with low caloric intake. Our TKM weight loss program focuses on restoring Spleen function so the body can burn energy independently. Key differences to consider: 1. Core Mechanism: Western medicine often utilizes central nervous system stimulation for forced appetite suppression, whereas TKM promotes Qi and Blood circulation to naturally enhance metabolic rate. 2. Prescription Method: Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, TKM provides tailored decoctions based on your specific constitution and underlying health conditions. 3. Primary Goal: We aim for 'Constitutional Improvement' and the removal of Phlegm-fluid rather than just decreasing the number on the scale. 4. Long-term Perspective: Instead of creating drug dependency, we focus on restoring physical balance so your body can maintain its weight autonomously. If you are exhausted from repeated cycles of weight loss and gain, it is time to address the root cause of why your body isn't processing waste effectively.
