Q. How does the diet program at Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic differ from conventional weight loss methods?

When repeating diets, many experience plateaus or a lack of energy. This may not be a simple matter of calories, but rather due to Dameum (phlegm-fluid retention)—unnecessary waste products accumulated in the body that can hinder metabolism.

Therefore, we do not simply advise eating less. Instead, we approach weight management from the following perspectives:

• Improving Bi-heo (Spleen Deficiency): By addressing weakened spleen function and low energy metabolism, we aim to help increase the basal metabolic rate.
• Removing Eo-hyeol (Blood Stasis): By clearing stagnant blood that obstructs circulation, we help reduce edema and facilitate smoother systemic circulation.
• Appetite Control: We assist in distinguishing false hunger and managing excessive cravings.

However, since every individual's constitution and current health status differ, it is important to receive an accurate prescription through a professional consultation. We recommend visiting our clinic first to evaluate your current physical condition.
