After viewing an online body-fat result, in what sequence does a Korean medicine clinic manage weight loss?
It does not prescribe from the online number alone, but uses five stages: 1) four examinations, 2) phlegm-fluid retention, 3) blood stasis, 4) spleen qi deficiency, and 5) maintenance, adjusted to constitution and response.
Stage one uses the four examinations—looking, listening, asking, and pulse assessment—along with the online number to establish causes and an individualized basis.
Stages two through four review phlegm-fluid retention, blood stasis, and spleen qi deficiency. Herbs vary accordingly but do not uniformly guarantee waste removal, fat burning, or normalized metabolism.
Stage five reviews energy and habits after loss, adjusting food, activity, and prescription for return tendencies. Actual order follows examination and response.
