Q. What do patients usually experience after being prescribed diet herbal medicine here?

A.

There is no single answer because everyone's constitution differs. Some experience a natural suppression of appetite and feel comfortable, while others may initially feel heart palpitations or insomnia. Rather than focusing solely on weight loss, we prioritize adjusting herbal ingredients to match your current physical condition through a personalized process.

📝 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.
