Q. What is the typical process and experience for others who receive herbal prescriptions for weight loss?

A.

Most patients visit us with a strong determination to make this their final diet attempt, often after struggling with Western medications like Saxenda or experiencing extreme fatigue from crash dieting. Since each individual's constitution and physical condition differ, a method that worked for someone else may not be right for you. We focus on carefully assessing your metabolic state to provide a customized herbal prescription tailored specifically to your body.

📝 Detailed Answer

Patients typically fall into two main categories. Some can control their appetite but suffer from severe lethargy and exhaustion. Others experience significant bloating and a feeling of heaviness in the body even with minimal food intake. The former often presents with Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo, 脾虛), where weakened spleen function leads to poor energy efficiency. For these individuals, simply suppressing appetite can further deplete the body's vitality. The latter is viewed as a state where circulation is blocked by the accumulation of metabolic waste, such as Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum, 痰飮)—residue from impaired fluid metabolism—and Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol, 瘀血), which refers to stagnated blood flow. Of course, not everyone fits these exact patterns, as the causes of weight gain vary. For some, psychological stress is the primary driver, while for others, it is hormonal imbalance. Therefore, rather than simply prescribing medicine, I believe it is crucial to first establish a precise understanding of your current physiological state. Having experienced the trials and errors of dieting myself, I know that ignoring the body's natural mechanisms inevitably leads to the 'yo-yo effect.' I encourage you to visit the clinic for a professional pulse diagnosis (Maek-jin) and medical inquiry (Mun-jin) to find the treatment direction that is perfectly suited to your unique constitution.
