📝 Detailed Answer
Patients visiting our clinic generally fall into two main patterns. First, there are those with 'Spleen Deficiency' (Bi-heo, 脾虛), where metabolic function has plummeted due to repetitive dieting. When the Spleen's function weakens, the body cannot utilize energy efficiently, leading to easy fatigue and swelling even with minimal food intake. For these patients, treatment focuses on boosting vital energy while clearing metabolic waste.
Conversely, some patients suffer from an accumulation of 'Phlegm-Fluid' (Dam-eum, 痰飮) or 'Blood Stasis' (Eo-hyeol, 瘀血). These obstructions in circulation often cause localized swelling or a sensation of extreme heaviness in the body. Based on my clinical experience, these issues cannot be resolved simply by reducing caloric intake.
Because the healing process differs for everyone, some may first notice improvements in digestive symptoms, while others experience better sleep and overall vitality. Rather than relying on others' testimonials, it is crucial to accurately interpret the signals your own body is sending. I invite you to work with me to find the optimal treatment path tailored specifically to your constitution.
