Q. How do other patients usually go about this? I'm curious about the actual prescription process and experience.

To give you a better idea, let me share a few clinical examples. Some patients complain of feeling heavy and prone to swelling; in Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), this is often referred to as 'Dameum' (痰飮), a state where accumulated metabolic waste hinders circulation. In such cases, we focus on prescriptions that promote circulation rather than simple calorie restriction. Conversely, some patients have high motivation but suffer from digestive issues and lethargy when dieting. This is often due to 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), or a deficiency in the Spleen's function. Using strong appetite suppressants for these patients can actually harm their health. My own clinical experience has shown that optimizing your body's internal 'engine' first is the key to success. Furthermore, if stress causes a feeling of tightness in the chest or insomnia, it may be due to 'Eohyeol' (瘀血), or blood stasis, which blocks the flow of Qi and Blood. In these instances, relieving psychological tension is necessary for the body's metabolism to improve naturally. The essence of TKM weight loss is identifying what your body specifically needs. Rather than simply lowering the number on the scale, we aim to correct internal imbalances to minimize side effects and prevent the yo-yo effect. We invite you to visit our clinic for a precise diagnosis of your current condition.
