Q. What does it actually feel like to take weight-loss herbal medicine? I’m an office worker and would love to hear about cases similar to mine.

Managing a diet while working in an office is challenging, especially when stress leads to cravings. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we generally categorize these cases into three types. First are those with 'Stomach Heat' (胃熱), where stress creates a 'false hunger.' We use cooling prescriptions so that patients can naturally resist temptations. Second are sedentary workers suffering from 'Phlegm-fluid' (痰飮), which causes chronic swelling and heaviness; here, we focus on herbs that boost metabolism to clear out accumulated waste. Third are those with 'Spleen Deficiency' (脾虛) who lack energy. Simply suppressing their appetite causes exhaustion and the yo-yo effect, so we focus on tonifying Qi while promoting fat burning. Since some may experience initial palpitations or insomnia, a personalized 1:1 diagnosis is essential to identify your body's weak points and provide a customized prescription for a healthy start.
