Q. My upper body is slim, but my lower body is always swollen. How does a Traditional Korean Medicine clinic approach this concern?
Lower body swelling is often a matter of internal circulation rather than simple weight gain. In Traditional Korean Medicine, we prioritize identifying underlying causes such as Eohyeol (blood stasis) or Seupdam (phlegm-dampness). Our approach focuses on clearing these metabolic wastes and unblocking stagnant Qi to reduce edema. For those with Spleen Deficiency (Biheo), customized herbal prescriptions are used to boost metabolism and restore systemic balance through a personalized treatment plan.
