📝 Detailed Answer
Weight-loss herbal medicine is designed to promote metabolism and increase energy expenditure. However, when the sympathetic nervous system becomes overactive during this process, symptoms such as heart palpitations, hand tremors, and insomnia may occur. Having experienced similar dizziness during my own past attempts to push too hard, I truly understand how unsettling this can feel.
At Baekrokdam, we do not dismiss these symptoms as mere 'healing crises' (myeonghyeon phenomenon) to be tolerated. Instead, we apply a systematic Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) approach:
1. Current State Diagnosis: We determine if your energy (Qi) is overly floating or if you have a predisposition toward 'Simdam-heogup' (心膽虛怯), a state where the heart and gallbladder energy are weak, making you more prone to anxiety.
2. Adjustment of Herbs and Dosage: We lower the proportion of metabolic stimulants and incorporate 'An-sin' (安神) herbs to stabilize the mind and restore balance.
3. Removal of Dam-eum (Phlegm-Fluid): Excess accumulation of metabolic waste, known as Dam-eum, can make the body hypersensitive to medication. We provide prescriptions to clear these wastes first.
4. Management of Eo-hyeol (Blood Stasis): We improve the flow of stagnant blood (Eo-hyeol) to ensure that the medicinal components circulate smoothly throughout the body.
5. Supplementing Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo): If the Spleen (digestive function) is weak, the process of absorbing medicine can be taxing. We strengthen the Spleen to improve your overall foundational strength.
Ultimately, weight loss is not about 'how fast' you can lose weight, but 'how comfortably' your body can accept the process. Please let us know any discomfort you experience; we will work with you to find the optimal balance for your health.
