📝 Detailed Answer
I have personally experienced the struggle of extreme dieting—eating nothing but chicken breast and starving myself in my youth. I remember feeling dizzy and completely depleted of energy, which made me realize that such an approach is unsustainable. Through that trial and error, I learned that the core of weight loss is whether your body can actually handle the process.
Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) weight loss is not about mindless starving; instead, it focuses on clearing 'metabolic waste' from the body. We aim to discharge 'Eohyeol' (stagnant blood/blood stasis) caused by poor circulation and 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid retention), which are waste products accumulated in the body. By clearing these, your metabolism is revitalized, making appetite control naturally easier.
Of course, there are considerations. Since everyone reacts differently, some may experience palpitations or insomnia in the early stages. In particular, those with 'Bi-heo' (Spleen deficiency/weak digestive function) may experience gastrointestinal discomfort depending on the specific herbal ingredients used.
Therefore, the question shouldn't be 'which medicine is best,' but 'what is the current state of my body?' The prescription changes entirely depending on whether you have poor digestion, severe edema, or stress-induced overeating. When you visit the clinic, I will analyze your condition and help you find the most comfortable and sustainable path to health.
