Q. I live in Yeongju and would like to have a remote consultation. I'm curious about the process of taking the herbal medicine and how most people feel after starting the treatment.

While individual results vary, patients seeking weight management generally fall into two Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) categories. The first is the 'Spleen Deficiency (脾虛)' type, characterized by frequent bloating and weight gain even with low caloric intake. When the Spleen function is impaired, nutrients fail to convert into energy and instead accumulate as metabolic waste. For this type, we focus on strengthening the digestive system to alleviate edema and heaviness. The second type involves 'Phlegm-fluid (痰飮)' or 'Blood Stasis (瘀血),' often triggered by stress or poor circulation. These 'internal residues' clog the body's pathways and lower metabolic efficiency. In such cases, clearing these blockages is more effective than simply eating less. Even through a remote consultation, we meticulously monitor your progress through video calls and detailed diagnostic questionnaires. Herbal medicine acts as 'priming water' to help your body regain its equilibrium. Once the prescription aligns with your specific constitution, your body naturally begins to metabolize fat more efficiently.
