📝 Detailed Answer
Many people attempt extreme calorie restriction, which often leads to fatigue and dizziness. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), excess body fat is not attributed solely to overeating, but is interpreted as a result of blocked metabolic flow. Our treatment process is as follows:
1. Analysis of Constitution and Metabolism: We check for the accumulation of 'Dameum' (痰飮, phlegm-fluid retention), which are unnecessary waste products. High levels of Dameum cause heaviness and poor circulation, making it difficult to lose weight.
2. Strengthening Spleen and Stomach Function: Patients with 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen Deficiency) lose energy quickly when fasting. We first normalize digestive and absorptive functions to secure a healthy basal metabolic rate.
3. Removing Blood Stasis (Eohyeol, 瘀血) and Promoting Circulation: By removing blood stasis that hinders circulation, we reduce internal toxins and inflammation, creating an optimal environment for fat burning.
4. Step-by-Step Customized Herbal Medicine: Based on the analysis, we prescribe herbal medicine to naturally regulate appetite and boost metabolism. The key is to adjust the potency based on what your body can tolerate rather than using aggressively strong medication.
5. Lifestyle Correction Guidance: Herbal medicine is a supporting tool; long-term maintenance happens in daily life. We provide guidance on foods and activity levels tailored to your specific constitution rather than imposing an unsustainable diet.
Instead of obsessing over numbers, focus on recovering your overall physical condition. Once your health is restored, a reduction in body fat percentage will follow as a natural result.
