I have personally experienced the pitfalls of extreme fasting, which only led to dizziness and a decline in quality of life. In my clinical experience, patients generally fall into two categories. The first are those with impaired metabolism and an accumulation of 'Dam-eum' (phlegm-fluid retention/metabolic waste). For them, herbal medicine that promotes circulation quickly leads to a feeling of lightness. The second group suffers from 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency), where weak digestive function causes 'false hunger.' In these cases, we must reinforce the digestive system while suppressing appetite to prevent the yo-yo effect. Additionally, those with severe 'Eo-hyeol' (blood stasis/congestion) may experience temporary stiffness or discomfort as the body detoxifies during the initial stages. This is why I do not simply prescribe a generic 'weight loss pill.' I first examine how much metabolic waste has accumulated and whether your 'engine' (metabolism) is functioning efficiently. While other people's reviews are helpful for reference, the ultimate answer lies in your own body's data. I invite you to visit so we can determine which 'mode' your body is currently in and tailor the treatment accordingly.
