Q. What is the process for getting a prescription for herbal diet medicine? Since it's my first time, I'm not sure how to start.

It is completely normal to feel overwhelmed and unsure of where to start during your first visit. In the early stages of my practice, I also realized that there is often a gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. That is why Baengnokdam provides guidance based on systematic data.

Our goal is not simply to suppress appetite, but to first identify the constitutional issues (body type) behind why you are gaining weight. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we distinguish between conditions such as Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo), where weakened spleen function hinders energy metabolism, and Phlegm-Dampness Accumulation (Dam-jeok), where metabolic waste builds up in the body.

• Step 1: In-depth Consultation - We analyze your current eating habits, sleep patterns, and the reasons behind previous diet failures.
• Step 2: Constitutional Diagnosis - We assess the current state of your Deficiency and Excess (Heo-sil) through pulse diagnosis (Maek-jin) and tongue diagnosis (Seol-jin).
• Step 3: Customized Prescription - We compose a blend of herbal medicines tailored to your constitution to boost metabolic rate and regulate appetite.
• Step 4: Monitoring - We monitor your body's reaction to the medication and fine-tune the dosage accordingly.
