Q. I'd like to lose weight in a short period of time, about one month. How should I start?

I once jumped into a diet with pure motivation, eating only chicken breast, and ended up feeling dizzy—it was a real 'learning experience.' That's why the steps I recommend for patients are a bit different. 1. Constitution Diagnosis: First, we assess your body's current state. We need to determine whether you have spleen qi deficiency (비허, 脾虛) with weak digestion, or a constitution with excessive internal heat. If the foundation is flawed, you'll burn out quickly. 2. Waste Elimination: We first clear out phlegm-dampness (담음, 痰飮, accumulated stagnant fluids) and blood stasis (어혈, 瘀血, sluggish blood circulation) from the body. It's like pouring water down a clogged drain—it won't go through. Circulation must be restored for metabolism to function. 3. Appetite and Metabolism Regulation: Herbal medicine helps control excessive appetite and boosts basal metabolic rate. It's not simply suppression—we're helping your body learn to use energy more efficiently on its own. 4. Constitution-Specific Maintenance: Finally, we strengthen your constitution to prevent rebound weight gain. This step builds your body into a state where it can maintain itself even after stopping medication. The goal isn't simply reducing numbers on the scale—think of it as finding the path to 'a body that doesn't gain weight easily.' For specific methods, please visit us so we can discuss together.
