Q. What herbal ingredients are in Gambi-hwan? I'm curious about its components.

Having experienced the dizziness and total exhaustion that come from extreme fasting diets in the past, I strive to avoid prescriptions that simply 'strip away' everything from the body. Here is a simple explanation of the principles behind the composition of Gambi-hwan: 1. Removing Phlegm-Fluid (Dameum): We use herbs to clear 'Dameum,' the metabolic waste and stagnation that block the flow of energy. This process is essential for restarting proper circulation. 2. Purifying Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol): We include ingredients to resolve 'Eo-hyeol,' or stagnant blood. Improving blood flow is key to increasing metabolic efficiency. 3. Addressing Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo): When the spleen function is weakened, it is referred to as 'Bi-heo.' We add herbs that regulate digestion and absorption to prevent a loss of vital energy. 4. Boosting Energy: To prevent the lethargy that often accompanies dietary restrictions, we blend herbs that replenish Qi and Blood. Ultimately, Gambi-hwan is not about one 'magic' ingredient, but rather a 'balancing act'—filling in what your body lacks and removing excessive waste. Since every patient's constitution is different, the most accurate prescription is determined after a clinical consultation to assess your current health status.
