📝 Detailed Answer
Having tried various extreme dieting methods myself in the past—from fasting to following every trend—I have experienced the dizziness and exhaustion firsthand. Because I've been there, I truly understand the struggles my patients face.
The core advantage of Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) is its 'personalized approach.' Rather than simply restricting calories, we analyze whether your weight gain is due to Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo, 脾虛)—where energy levels are low—or the accumulation of Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum, 痰飮), which refers to metabolic waste. By prescribing tailored herbal medicine, we revitalize your metabolism, making weight loss more sustainable. For stubborn areas of fat, we use fat-dissolving acupuncture to clear stagnation and improve local circulation.
To be honest, there are drawbacks. Some find the bitter taste of herbal medicine difficult, and depending on your constitution, some may experience heart palpitations in the early stages. Unlike injections, where you might feel an immediate 'intervention,' TKM focuses on changing the body's internal environment, which means the results may take a bit more time and patience.
Ultimately, the best method depends on your current physiological state. Instead of a diet that forcibly suppresses your body, I recommend a method that supports your body in burning energy naturally. When you visit the clinic, let's examine your condition together and find the path that suits you best.
