Q. My InBody results show a very high abdominal fat percentage. What is the best way to manage this at a Korean medicine clinic?
A.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. We combine herbal medicine, acupuncture, and Chuna therapy tailored to your specific constitution and current physical condition. Rather than extreme fasting or harsh medications, we first assess whether your body is in an optimal state to burn fat to provide a personalized prescription.
📝 Detailed Answer
It can be frustrating to see an increase in abdominal fat. The key to success lies in a 'personalized approach.' The primary advantage of Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) is that it identifies the root cause within the body. If abdominal fat has accumulated due to blood stasis (瘀血, stagnant blood) or phlegm-fluid retention (痰飮, metabolic waste) caused by poor qi and blood circulation, simple dietary restrictions are often ineffective. In such cases, we use herbal medicine to boost metabolism and acupuncture to improve circulation, which helps the body feel significantly lighter.
Of course, there are considerations to keep in mind. Unlike a machine that provides instant results, herbal medicine requires time for the body to respond. It may also take some patience to adapt to the characteristic bitter taste and aroma of the herbs.
Depending on whether your condition is due to Spleen Deficiency (脾虛, impaired digestive function) or simply overeating, the approach will differ entirely. Based on clinical experience, strengthening the body's fundamental balance is the fastest route to recovery. Let's analyze your current state together to determine the best path forward.
