In Traditional Korean Medicine, stress-induced overeating is seen as a combination of Liver Qi stagnation (gan gi ulgyeol) and Spleen deficiency (bi heo). When stress builds, the Liver fails to circulate Qi smoothly, weakening the Spleen and impairing appetite regulation. I can relate—I used to wrestle with the refrigerator late at night, so I understand how hard it is. Here is a stepwise approach: 1) **Release tension first**: Herbs that soothe Liver Qi (e.g., Bupleurum, Cyperus), acupuncture, and diaphragmatic breathing reduce overeating urges. This is especially important for Soeumin (Lesser Yin type) with a weak Liver. 2) **Establish meal patterns**: Skipping breakfast worsens cravings, so eat at regular times. Avoid sugary and wheat-based foods initially, as they trigger binges. Taeumin (Greater Yin type) with Phlegm-fluid (dam eum) constitution should especially avoid heavy, slow-digesting foods. 3) **Understand your constitution** for long-term relief. For example, Soyangin (Lesser Yang type) tend to seek cold foods due to stress-induced heat, so herbs that clear heat (cheong yeol) are used. Taeumin often have Phlegm-fluid and Dampness, requiring draining methods (sam chul). Consulting a Korean medicine practitioner for a custom prescription based on your Sasang constitution yields the best results. Don't aim for perfection overnight. Build small successes gradually, and you'll naturally break the binge pattern. I guide my patients through this step by step.
