Patients generally fall into two main patterns. First, those with Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo, 脾虛), characterized by poor digestive function and a buildup of waste despite poor nutrient absorption. These patients often quickly report feeling 'lighter' as their digestive system stabilizes. Conversely, some patients have a significant accumulation of Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol, 瘀血) or Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum, 痰飮). As these metabolic wastes are expelled during the initial stages of treatment, they may temporarily feel more fatigued or experience muscle stiffness. During my early years as a practitioner, I experimented on myself and learned firsthand how crucial it is to accurately monitor these bodily responses. Since a prescription that feels comfortable for one person may be too strong for another, I maintain constant communication to meticulously adjust the concentration of medicinal herbs. Rather than simply taking a 'weight loss drug,' please view this as a collaborative process to find the optimal balance your body can handle. Please feel free to share any changes you notice in your condition.
