📝 Detailed Answer
In clinical practice, patients generally fall into two main categories. The first is the 'Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo, 脾虛)' type; these patients have depleted energy and struggle to even start a diet. When the Spleen is weak, digestive and absorptive capacities drop, leading to quick exhaustion. For them, boosting metabolism while replenishing vital energy is far more effective than simple fasting.
The second group consists of those with 'Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum, 痰飮)' or 'Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol, 瘀血),' where waste products block circulation. Phlegm-Fluid refers to the accumulation of unnecessary fluids and metabolic waste, while Blood Stasis occurs when slowed blood circulation leaves behind residues. These patients often complain of heaviness and swelling, but report feeling significantly lighter once prescriptions to improve circulation are administered.
However, reactions vary; some find the medicine potent, while others see slower results. The key is closely monitoring how your specific body responds. Therefore, even through remote consultations, we conduct thorough medical interviews to find the precise balance of herbs that fits your unique constitution.
