What is the specific process once I start a herbal medicine diet?

When patients first visit, they often think, 'Can't I just get the medicine and be done with it?' Having tried extreme fasting myself in the past, I completely understand that feeling. However, because everyone has different constitutional issues, the process is crucial.

In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we believe that simply eating less is not the answer. Instead, we must first address Damjeok (痰積)—the accumulation of metabolic waste and phlegm—which slows down metabolism. Resolving this is the key to efficient weight management.

• Step 1: Constitutional Diagnosis & Analysis - We assess your current metabolic state and check for Bi-heo (脾虛), which refers to a deficiency in the Spleen/digestive function.
• Step 2: Customized Herbal Prescription - We prescribe medicine to regulate appetite and increase your basal metabolic rate, transforming your body into one that consumes energy more efficiently.
• Step 3: Diet & Lifestyle Correction - While the medicine supports you, this is the stage where you cultivate healthy eating habits.
• Step 4: Maintenance & Aftercare - This final stage helps your body adapt to the changes and prevents the 'yo-yo' effect (weight regain).
