Q. There are so many different types of herbal diet medicines; which one do you recommend?

In the past, I also tried starving myself or following trends, only to realize that a medicine that worked for others didn't necessarily work for me. This is why personalized care is essential. The strength of Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) for weight loss lies in its customized approach. We adjust prescriptions based on your constitution to increase your basal metabolic rate, ensuring your body functions more efficiently while simultaneously addressing common side effects like lethargy and constipation. Of course, there are challenges. Some patients find the distinct aroma of herbal medicine overwhelming, and if a formula is too strong for a specific constitution, it can cause palpitations or insomnia. This is why precise calibration is necessary. During a consultation, my primary focus is identifying *why* the weight isn't coming off. For those with significant 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis) blocking the circulation of Qi and Blood, or 'Dameum' (痰飮, accumulated phlegm and fluid), simply suppressing appetite is not the answer. Similarly, if a patient has 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen deficiency) resulting in a weak digestive system, we must lower the intensity of the medicine and prioritize gastrointestinal health first. Ultimately, the question isn't 'Which medicine is better?' but 'What is the current state of my body?' By visiting the clinic for a pulse diagnosis and a detailed consultation, we can find the exact prescription that your body needs right now.
