Q. There are so many diet coffees and supplement drinks on the market; how does a Korean medicine clinic help with weight loss differently?

Many people try various commercial supplements, but these often provide only temporary results and can leave you feeling dizzy without actually improving your underlying metabolism. At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we approach weight loss through a systematic process: 1. Constitution and Metabolic Diagnosis: We check for the accumulation of 'Dameum' (痰飮), which refers to abnormal fluid retention and metabolic waste in the body. When these waste products build up, metabolism slows down, making weight loss difficult. 2. Enhancing Digestion and Absorption: Many patients suffer from 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), or weakness of the Spleen function. When digestion and absorption are impaired, the body tends to store energy rather than burn it, causing weight to plateau. 3. Improving Blood Flow and Detoxification: We focus on resolving 'Eohyeol' (瘀血), or blood stasis. By removing these blockages and improving circulation, we increase the efficiency of fat combustion. 4. Personalized Herbal Medicine: Based on the previous steps, we prescribe customized herbal medicine designed to regulate appetite and boost metabolism simultaneously. By optimizing your internal bodily environment first, we can reduce the risk of the yo-yo effect and ensure healthy weight loss. If you are curious about your current health status, please feel free to visit the clinic for a consultation.
