Q. Doctor, how do patients who receive weight loss herbal medicine here usually proceed? I'm curious about actual cases.

When patients visit, we first analyze why previous weight loss attempts failed. For those who feel constant bloating and heaviness, it is often due to 'Dam-eum' (phlegm-fluid retention), where metabolic waste blocks the circulation of Qi and Blood. In such cases, we focus on detoxifying and discharging waste rather than simple fasting. Conversely, those with a 'Spleen Deficiency' (Bi-heo) type—characterized by low energy and poor digestion—can become easily exhausted if they restrict calories too aggressively. For these patients, I prioritize prescriptions that boost overall metabolic capacity. Additionally, those with cold extremities and poor circulation require treatment to resolve 'Eo-hyeol' (blood stasis) to unlock stagnant blood flow. Through my own experience, I've learned that a method that works for others can be detrimental to your own body. Therefore, I prescribe medicine based on a precise analysis of individual constitution and current physical condition. Rather than a 'magic pill' approach, the core objective is to create an internal environment where your body can efficiently utilize energy. We can determine your specific direction together during the consultation.
