📝 Detailed Answer
In clinical practice, patients generally fall into two categories. First, many suffer from 'Dameum' (痰飮)—the accumulation of metabolic waste and fluid—which stagnates metabolism. In these cases, herbal medicine helps promote circulation, making the body feel significantly lighter. Second are those with 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), or Spleen Deficiency, where the digestive and absorptive functions are weakened. These patients often lack energy and crave sweets; for them, it is crucial to replenish vital energy (Qi) to boost metabolic capacity rather than simply suppressing appetite.
Some patients come to us after experiencing indigestion or severe insomnia from conventional weight-loss drugs. I empathize with that frustration, having faced my own trial and error in the past. Herbal prescriptions must be tailored to an individual's constitution and the state of 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis). This is why remote consultations must meticulously check sleep patterns, digestion, and the degree of edema.
Of course, remote consultation may not be the perfect answer for everyone. Using medicine that does not align with your constitution can actually worsen your condition. Therefore, I recommend approaching this not as searching for a 'weight loss pill,' but as a way to identify what is hindering your metabolism. Listening to your body's signals is the true beginning of a healthy transformation without the yo-yo effect.
