Q. What is the process for weight loss treatments at a Traditional Korean Medicine clinic? I would like to know the specific stages involved.

Losing weight can be an exhausting journey, and we understand that struggle deeply. At our clinic, we don't just provide medicine; we analyze why your body has developed a structure prone to weight gain. Our treatment follows a comprehensive four-step process. First is the **Diagnosis Stage**, where we identify your unique constitution and determine where your Qi (vital energy) is blocked or stagnant. Second, we **Clear Toxins and Waste**, specifically addressing Phlegm-fluid (Dameum) and Blood Stasis (Eohyeol). Think of this as clearing a clogged drain; only once this waste is removed can metabolic processes flow and herbal nutrients be properly absorbed. Third, we **Ignite the Metabolic Engine** by boosting Yang Energy (Yang-qi). This internal 'fire' maintains body temperature and burns energy; by strengthening it with customized herbs, we induce a state where your body efficiently consumes calories even at rest. Finally, we focus on **Spleen Reinforcement and Maintenance**. Post-diet weight regain (yo-yo effect) often stems from Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo). When the Spleen function is weak, the body fails to transform nutrients into energy and instead stores them as waste. By strengthening this digestive function, we finalize the treatment by transforming your constitution into one that naturally resists weight gain. We believe that understanding your body’s internal principles is far healthier and more effective than blind fasting.
