Special Diet Topics
Q. How much does a month's treatment cost, and when can I expect to see results?
A.
Costs vary based on your body constitution and the specific prescription stage, so an in-person consultation is most accurate. Generally, you will notice appetite control within 1–2 weeks, and by weeks 3–4, you'll feel your body becoming lighter as edema and bloating subside. Rather than simple starvation, this is a process of boosting your overall metabolism.
📝 Detailed Answer
Having experienced the exhaustion and dizziness that comes from crash dieting myself, I can tell you that the 'process of how the body adapts' is far more important than raw speed.
During the first 1–2 weeks, the focus is on discharging 'Dam-eum' (痰飮)—the accumulated phlegm-fluid and waste products—and unnecessary water. During this phase, you'll likely feel that your body is becoming 'lighter' before you see a dramatic change in the number on the scale.
By weeks 3–4, we focus on clearing 'Eo-hyeol' (瘀血)—stagnant blood and toxins—which activates your metabolism. This is when you'll begin to notice a visible difference in how your clothes fit.
For those with 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), a deficiency in the Spleen and digestive function, we may need to adjust the herbal dosage initially. Rather than simply using strong medication, I will personally monitor your condition and calibrate the intensity of the prescription.
Regarding costs, the price varies depending on the herbal composition and the duration of the treatment. I believe the most efficient investment is not necessarily the most expensive medicine, but a prescription tailored precisely to your current state.
