Q. Instead of famous diet injections or medications, how do Korean medicine clinics help with weight management?

Weight loss is often about more than just willpower, and we understand the frustration of struggling with strict diets. At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we approach weight management through the following systematic process: 1. Constitution Diagnosis and Root Cause Analysis: We first check for the accumulation of 'Dameum' (痰飮), which refers to stagnant waste products and fluids in the body. An excess of Dameum often leads to a feeling of heaviness and a sluggish metabolism. 2. Strengthening Spleen and Stomach Function: Many patients suffer from 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), or deficiency of the Spleen and Stomach. When digestive and absorptive functions are impaired, toxins accumulate, making it harder for the body to shed weight. 3. Improving Circulation and Removing Inflammation: We work to resolve 'Eo-hyeol' (瘀血), or blood stasis, to enhance systemic circulation. Proper circulation is essential for the body to effectively burn energy. 4. Customized Herbal Medicine: Based on these findings, we prescribe herbal medicine that suppresses appetite without depleting your vital energy. Unlike injections that forcibly suppress functions, we choose a path that naturally enhances your metabolism. 5. Lifestyle Modification: Relying solely on medication often leads to a rebound. We collaborate with you to develop realistic meal plans and activity levels tailored to your lifestyle to build long-term habits. The core objective is to restore your body to a state where it can burn fat naturally. We invite you to step away from urgency and first examine the current state of your body with us.
