What do people usually experience when trying herbal medicine for weight loss? I'm worried that I might be the only one not seeing results.

The honest answer is that experiences vary by individual. Some find it easy because their appetite disappears, while others may experience insomnia or heart palpitations. The key is not simply using potent medicine, but finding the 'optimal balance' tailored to your specific body condition. Please don't worry if your reaction differs from others.

Many patients come to the clinic feeling distressed, asking, 'Why am I the only one not losing weight when everyone else is?' However, it is perfectly natural for responses to vary based on one's physiological state. For instance, those with 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency/weak digestive function) may feel rapidly exhausted if their appetite is suppressed too aggressively. Having experienced the struggle of over-ambitious dieting myself, I truly understand that feeling. Additionally, patients with significant 'Dam-eum' (phlegm-fluid retention) or 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis/blood congestion) may initially feel heaviness or swelling. While this can be a sign of the body detoxifying, it can also be a warning that the prescription does not suit their constitution. The most important factor is not other people's reviews, but how your own body responds. If you have suffered from yo-yo effects or side effects from Western pharmaceutical weight-loss drugs like Saxenda, a more meticulous approach is required. Rather than focusing solely on the numbers on the scale, we must monitor your overall condition. I encourage you to visit the clinic so we can accurately assess your current state and determine the most appropriate prescription for you.
