How the Treatment Works

Q. My abdominal obesity levels are high; what is the step-by-step weight loss process at a Korean medicine clinic?

A.

Simply eating less isn't always the answer. We start by clearing 'blockages' in your body. After a thorough analysis of your constitution and internal waste, we remove elements hindering your metabolism to ensure healthy weight loss, preventing the energy loss and yo-yo effect common with extreme fasting.

📝 Detailed Answer

Abdominal obesity is often a signal that internal circulation is severely blocked, rather than just an accumulation of fat. At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we follow a systematic approach: First, we analyze your constitution to identify the location of toxins. We specifically check for the accumulation of 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid), which are abnormal metabolic wastes that obstruct your overall metabolism. Next, we clear these stagnant flows. If 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis) is present, weight loss can be difficult even with a strict diet. By resolving these blood and energy stagnations, we create an internal environment where your body can naturally burn energy. We also focus on digestive and absorptive functions. If you suffer from 'Biheo' (Spleen deficiency), your body fails to absorb nutrients properly and instead accumulates waste. We restore digestive function to naturally increase your basal metabolic rate. Once these internal pathways are opened, we prescribe customized herbal medicine to regulate appetite and accelerate the combustion of body fat. Forcing weight loss through starvation or overly potent stimulants often leads to dizziness and a rapid yo-yo effect. By balancing the body first, you can achieve healthy results that last. I invite you to visit the clinic so we can analyze your specific condition together.
