Q. I tend to gain weight specifically in my lower body. How does a Traditional Korean Medicine clinic approach dieting for this?

A.

Lower body obesity is rarely solved by simple calorie restriction, as it often stems from poor circulation and accumulated metabolic waste. Rather than indiscriminate fasting, Baekrokdam Clinic focuses on clearing blocked pathways, improving circulation, and using constitution-based prescriptions to simultaneously address lower body edema and fat loss.

📝 Detailed Answer

Many people mistakenly believe that intense exercise alone will solve the problem, but lower body weight is often a result of 'stagnation' rather than just caloric intake. At Baekrokdam Clinic, we follow a systemic approach to treat this: First, we diagnose your constitution and circulatory status. We identify where 'Dameum' (痰飮)—phlegm-fluid or metabolic waste—has accumulated, specifically assessing the level of stagnant moisture and toxins in the lower extremities. Next, we focus on removing 'Eohyeol' (瘀血), or blood stasis. When blood flow is sluggish or blocked, energy stagnates in the lower body; by improving blood quality and flow, we help reduce edema and allow the body to distribute energy more efficiently. If you are in a state of 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), meaning a deficiency in the Spleen function, your fluid metabolism slows down, making your lower body feel particularly heavy. We supplement this deficiency to transform your body into one that burns energy more effectively on its own. Finally, we combine personalized herbal medicine with acupuncture. We utilize medicinal herbs that raise core body temperature and promote circulation, while acupuncture is used to directly release tight muscles and open blocked meridians. Ultimately, the key to lower body weight loss is 'effective elimination.' We will work with you to uncover why your body is prone to stagnation in the lower region and provide a tailored solution.
