My test results show a waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) of 0.81. What is the typical process for abdominal fat management at a Korean medicine clinic?

Abdominal obesity management focuses on transforming the internal organ environment rather than just reducing the number on the scale. Our clinic follows a systematic four-step approach to reset your body's metabolism: 1. Eliminating Phlegm-fluid (Dam-eum) and Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol): When metabolic waste accumulates and blocks circulation, abdominal fat naturally increases. In Traditional Korean Medicine, these wastes are called Dam-eum and Eo-hyeol. We clear these toxins first to 'open the paths' of the body so that subsequent treatments are more effective. 2. Addressing Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo): If the Spleen function is weak—a state called 'Bi-heo'—the digestive system fails to convert nutrients into energy, storing them as fat instead. We prescribe customized herbal medicine (Han-yak) tailored to your constitution to revitalize your digestive power and metabolic rate. 3. Promoting Qi and Blood Circulation: Fat is harder to break down when the abdomen is cold. We use acupuncture and moxibustion to warm the core, ensuring that Qi and Blood flow smoothly throughout the body. This creates the ideal thermal environment for fat decomposition. 4. Constitution-based Lifestyle Guidance: Finally, we provide realistic dietary and exercise plans based on your specific body type and daily routine. We understand the challenges of maintaining a diet while working, so we work with you to find sustainable habits. By following these steps to reset your body's foundation, you can achieve a slimmer waistline more comfortably and sustainably than through restrictive dieting alone.
