📝 Detailed Answer
It's understandable why there is so much interest in probiotic diets lately. I personally empathize with the frustration of trying various health supplements only to experience bloating and discomfort.
The advantages are clear: improving the intestinal environment facilitates the discharge of toxins and can help reduce systemic edema. For those who feel chronically sluggish due to poor digestive power, this can be a light and effective starting point.
However, there are limitations because every individual's constitution (Sasang) is different. For instance, if you have a severe accumulation of Phlegm-Fluid (Dameum) or Blood Stasis (Eohyeol) that hinders circulation, probiotics alone may not provide sufficient results. Furthermore, if you are in a state of Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo) where digestive function is extremely weak, probiotics may actually cause more gas and bloating.
The key is not 'what is good,' but 'what fits your current state.' While using probiotics to establish a foundation for gut health, combining them with TKM treatments to clear stagnant energy will be far more efficient. If you visit the clinic, I can help determine whether your condition is related to Phlegm-Fluid or Blood Stasis.
