📝 Detailed Answer
In clinical practice, patients generally fall into two categories: those with strong willpower whose weight loss is stalled due to a sluggish metabolism, and those seeking help after experiencing yo-yo dieting or side effects from conventional weight-loss drugs.
Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) does not focus solely on 'eating less.' To ensure a proper metabolism, we first remove toxins such as Eohyeol (瘀血, blood stasis) and Dameum (痰飮, accumulated phlegm-fluid). For instance, if a patient has Spleen Deficiency (脾虛), characterized by weak digestive function, jumping straight into strong appetite suppressants can lead to nausea and severe fatigue.
Through my own studies and experience, I've learned that the ultimate answer lies in 'restoring the body's internal balance.' Therefore, we avoid one-size-fits-all prescriptions. We meticulously calibrate the potency of the herbal ingredients by evaluating your sleep quality, digestive health, and stress levels.
While herbal medicine is not a magic cure for everyone, focusing on reinforcing the body's 'weak links' significantly reduces the pain of forced restriction. If you would like to explore the current state of your health together, please feel free to visit our clinic.
