Q. How do Gambi-hwan pills help me lose weight?
They work by increasing your basal metabolic rate to promote the burning of body fat and regulating appetite to naturally reduce your overall caloric intake.
📝 Detailed Answer
Repeated dieting often leaves the body exhausted. Many people try fasting, but this typically leads to a lack of energy and a quick rebound in weight. Therefore, Gambi-hwan (減肥丸) does not focus on starvation, but rather on improving the efficiency of your body's functions.
In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), a state where weight is difficult to lose is often viewed as a result of Dameum (phlegm-fluid retention) or Bi-heo (Spleen deficiency). This means metabolic rates have dropped because the Spleen function is weakened and the circulation of Qi and Blood is hindered by accumulated waste products.
- Boosting Basal Metabolic Rate: By increasing internal thermal energy, it induces the body to consume more energy even while at rest.
- Appetite Suppression and Satiety: It stimulates the satiety center of the brain to reduce cravings and obsessive thoughts about food.
- Elimination of Waste: It helps circulation by removing Eohyeol (blood stasis) and Dameum that are stagnant within the body.
💡 Prescription Point
Because every individual has a different constitution and current health condition, the key is not simply providing the medication, but identifying a patient's constitutional issues to customize the ingredients and dosage.
