In my practice, patients generally fall into two categories. Those with weak digestive systems often suffer from Spleen Deficiency (脾虛); for them, we focus on restoring vitality and digestive function first. Conversely, those with stress-induced heat rising to the upper body often find that as their chest tightness eases, their compulsive cravings naturally subside. When we further clear 'Dam-eum' (痰飮, phlegm-fluid retention) and 'Eo-hyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis)—which are metabolic waste products that block circulation—patients frequently describe a sensation of 'blockages being cleared.' Having experienced the dizziness and lethargy of extreme fasting myself during my student years, I focus on enhancing metabolism rather than simple calorie restriction. Of course, herbal medicine is not a magic cure for everyone. Using a formula that does not align with your constitution can lead to discomfort. This is why I conduct thorough consultations and prescribe carefully. Understanding your body's current state is the first and most important step toward achieving a healthy transformation without the yo-yo effect.
