As someone who struggled with dieting before becoming a practitioner, I deeply empathize with the desperation of my patients. We see various cases: first, those who feel they bloat 'just by drinking water,' often diagnosed with Spleen Deficiency (脾虛). When Spleen function is low, metabolic waste known as Phlegm-fluid (痰飮) accumulates, requiring treatment to strengthen the Spleen rather than just blocking hunger. Another common case involves stress-induced binge eating, frequently linked to Blood Stasis (瘀血). Stagnant blood hinders the circulation of Qi and Blood, making weight loss difficult; here, we focus on resolving the stasis to clear the path for metabolism. Many come to us after suffering side effects from Western drugs, such as palpitations or insomnia. Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) does not 'whip' the body into submission; instead, it balances the system by replenishing deficient Qi (氣) and discharging excess toxins. Since every constitution and habit is different, the key to success is listening to your body's specific signals and finding the root cause rather than following generic trends.
