Q. I travel a lot for work, so it's almost impossible to maintain a strict diet. Can I still see results with herbal medicine for weight loss in this situation?

I understand how difficult this is; when I had a hectic external schedule in the past, I struggled too. Meals eaten out are often high in sodium and calories, making it nearly impossible to succeed through willpower alone. It is important to realize that this isn't a lack of discipline, but a matter of your body's physiological state. Frequent business trips, combined with stress and overeating, often lead to the accumulation of 'Dameum' (痰飮, phlegm-fluid), which refers to stagnant metabolic waste in the body. When Dameum accumulates, the body feels heavy and metabolism slows down, creating a constitution that gains weight easily even with small amounts of food. If irregular sleep is added to this, it can lead to 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis), where blood circulation is hindered, resulting in bloating and decreased recovery power. If you are in a state of 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen Deficiency/impaired digestive function), this becomes even more challenging. When the Spleen's function is weak, the body fails to absorb nutrients efficiently and instead leaves behind metabolic debris, making you feel dizzy and exhausted. Therefore, I do not recommend absolute fasting. Instead, we use herbal medicine to boost your metabolic capacity, essentially building a 'body engine' that can efficiently burn off the irregular meals encountered during travel. We can adjust your prescription to ensure it is convenient to take while traveling, so please do not worry. Once you share your current physical condition and travel patterns, we will develop a customized strategy tailored to your specific situation.
