Many people attempt extreme fasting, only to experience dizziness and an even more severe rebound in weight. From a clinical perspective, the yo-yo effect is not a failure of willpower, but rather an issue of the body's biological restorative capacity. The approach recommended in Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) has distinct advantages. First, we address 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), or deficiency of the Spleen/Digestive system, to restore your basal metabolic rate. Next, we focus on eliminating 'Dam-eum' (痰飮)—the accumulation of metabolic waste and fluid stagnation—to improve overall circulation. This allows the body to feel lighter and leaner without the need for starvation. Of course, there may be concerns. Some patients find the distinct scent and taste of herbal medicine unfamiliar, or may experience mild palpitations as an initial healing response. Because these are carefully decocted medicines, we focus on a long-term approach of constitutional improvement rather than just rapid, short-term results. Ultimately, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. A method that works for one person may not work for another, especially for those who have struggled with the side effects of pharmaceutical weight loss drugs. The safest and most efficient strategy is to first assess your energy levels and the state of 'Eo-hyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis) before tailoring a plan. We invite you to visit the clinic so we can find the right path for your body together.
