What is the specific process if I start a herbal weight loss program?

The process begins with a comprehensive consultation to determine your body constitution and prescribe tailored herbal medicine. We first focus on boosting your metabolism for adaptation, followed by fat-centric weight loss through dietary management, and finally, a stabilization phase to maintain your weight and prevent the yo-yo effect.

Many people try extreme fasting, but this often leads to dizziness and exhaustion without sustainable results. Our clinic focuses on 'fixing the engine' of your body rather than simply eating less. Weeks 1–2 are the 'Adaptation and Metabolic Activation' phase. Through herbal medicine, we increase your basal metabolic rate and eliminate 'Dameum' (痰飮)—accumulated metabolic waste and fluids that cause stagnation—to improve overall circulation. During this time, you'll feel your body becoming lighter as it shifts into a weight-loss-friendly constitution. Weeks 3–8 are the 'Intensive Reduction' phase. We focus on clearing 'Eohyeol' (瘀血)—stagnant blood that hinders circulation—and naturally regulating appetite. For patients with 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), a deficiency in the Spleen/Digestive system, the key is to support their energy levels while promoting weight loss so they don't feel depleted. From the second month onwards, we enter the 'Maintenance and Stabilization' phase. To prevent the body from reacting poorly to a sudden cessation of medication, we gradually adjust the dosage, allowing your body to recognize and remember its new weight as the baseline. Since every individual has a different constitution and lifestyle, the detailed schedule may vary. I invite you to visit the clinic so we can find the pace that is most comfortable and effective for you.
