Q. This is my first time trying herbal medicine for weight loss; what specifically is the process like?

A.

The process begins with a personalized constitution diagnosis followed by a customized prescription designed to increase basal metabolic rate and correct dietary habits in a phased approach.

📝 Detailed Answer

When first starting herbal weight loss treatment, it is easy to think of it as just 'medicine that makes you lose weight.' However, because every individual has a different constitution and different reasons for weight gain, a systematic process is required.

In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we believe it is essential to first address underlying constitutional issues—such as Qi Deficiency (氣虛, lack of vital energy) or Dam-jeok (痰積, accumulation of phlegm-like metabolic waste)—rather than simply starving the body. This ensures that your metabolism functions smoothly without leaving you exhausted.

  • Step 1: Constitution Diagnosis & Detailed Consultation - We analyze your current health status and dietary habits, and assess the level of metabolic waste in your body.
  • Step 2: Customized Herbal Prescription - We select medicinal herbs tailored to your specific constitution to help control appetite and boost your basal metabolic rate.
  • Step 3: Adaptation & Metabolic Activation - This is the period where your body adapts to the herbal medicine, and unnecessary water retention and waste products are discharged.
  • Step 4: Diet & Lifestyle Correction - With the support of the medication, we work to solidify the changes in your taste preferences and eating habits into a long-term lifestyle.
💡 Treatment Goal

The core objective is not simply reducing weight on a scale, but normalizing your metabolism to create a body that can regulate itself naturally.
