Q. Is there a way to lose weight using Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) in one month?

Weight loss in Traditional Korean Medicine is viewed not merely as 'calorie restriction,' but as a comprehensive management approach tailored to an individual's constitution and body type. The core focus lies in the Spleen and Stomach (脾胃) functions and overall internal circulation. If the digestive functions are weak (Spleen Deficiency, 脾虛), fat tends to accumulate more easily. Furthermore, if waste products are not efficiently expelled—such as Blood Stasis (瘀血) or Phlegm-Fluid (痰飮)—weight loss can be sluggish. Therefore, the initial phase involves stabilizing the body using herbal medicine to support Spleen and Stomach functions and acupuncture to promote intestinal motility. 【Expected Changes by Stage】 • Weeks 1–2: Intestinal motility increases, leading to the reduction of edema and the stabilization of bowel habits. You will likely feel less abdominal bloating and a general sense of lightness in the body. • Weeks 3–4: As metabolism improves, actual changes in body composition begin to manifest. Energy levels typically increase, making it easier to sustain a healthy diet without feeling deprived. A one-month TKM diet program consists of three pillars: herbal medicine, acupuncture, and lifestyle modification. Since the plan is adjusted based on your specific constitution and living environment, consistent clinic visits are crucial for optimal results. What are your primary concerns regarding your weight?
