Herbal weight loss treatments seem quite expensive; how do they actually help with weight management?

Prescriptions are tailored to an individual's constitution and metabolic state to help reduce weight by promoting the excretion of waste products and increasing the basal metabolic rate. A detailed consultation is recommended for more specifics.

It is natural to be concerned about the cost when choosing weight loss medication. This is because the process involves identifying the root cause of why your body has become prone to gaining weight, rather than simply suppressing appetite.

In Traditional Korean Medicine, it is believed that when Dam-jeok (痰積)—the accumulation of metabolic waste—blocks the circulation of Qi and Blood, metabolism decreases, making it harder to lose weight. Therefore, treatment is combined with processes to clear these stagnations rather than relying on simple fasting.

  • Metabolic Stimulation: Helps the body use energy more efficiently by increasing the basal metabolic rate.
  • Waste Excretion: Goes through a process of reducing edema and discharging toxins from the body.
  • Appetite Control: Helps manage false hunger and improve eating habits.

However, prescriptions vary completely depending on your constitution and underlying medical conditions. Therefore, the most important step is to accurately assess your current physical condition through a professional consultation. Please visit our clinic to discuss the most appropriate direction for your needs.
