To give you a real-world example, I once treated a professional in their 40s who suffered from chronic heaviness and edema due to frequent overtime. While they initially thought weight loss was simply about eating less, the diagnosis revealed Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo), a condition where weakened spleen function hinders proper digestion and absorption. For such patients, extreme calorie restriction leads to dizziness and fatigue, causing them to give up quickly. Another patient had significant stagnation due to extreme stress, resulting in the accumulation of Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum). In TKM, Dam-eum refers to metabolic 'waste' or abnormal fluids in the body. If one takes weight loss medicine without first resolving this stagnation, the body can actually feel heavier. Having struggled with similar imbalances during my own years of study before becoming a practitioner, I deeply understand this frustration. Telemedicine is not merely about shipping medicine via courier. We meticulously investigate whether there is Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol)—stagnant blood flow—or where the metabolism is blocked before finalizing the prescription. Because constitutions and daily conditions vary, the ingredients of the herbal formula change entirely from person to person. Rather than following what worked for someone else, it is crucial to accurately read the signals your own body is sending. Please feel free to share your concerns, and we will find the best approach together.
