📝 Detailed Answer
I once tried to lose weight by simply starving myself, but I had to give up within a day because my hands and feet were trembling. It was a complete failure that made it impossible to focus on work. This is why, when considering a prescription, I carefully examine a patient's underlying stamina and the root cause of weight gain first.
First, there are patients with 'Spleen Deficiency' (Bi-heo). When Spleen function—essentially your digestion and metabolic capacity—is weak, the body fails to burn energy and instead accumulates metabolic waste. If you feel heavy and bloat easily even after eating very little, you shouldn't just starve; you need a prescription that tonifies the Spleen function to boost metabolism.
Many patients also suffer from stagnation caused by 'Phlegm-fluid' (Dam-eum) or 'Blood Stasis' (Eo-hyeol). When unnecessary fluid waste and stagnant blood hinder the body's flow, metabolism drops significantly. This is common among office workers who sit for long hours. In these cases, the priority is to clear the body using medicinal herbs that promote circulation.
Korean herbal medicine is also an excellent alternative for those who have struggled with the side effects of general diet supplements or strong Western medications. The greatest advantage of TKM weight loss is the ability to finely adjust the herbal composition and dosage according to each individual's sensitivity.
A prescription that is 'right' for you is ultimately a process of filling what is lacking and draining what is excessive. Do not struggle with this alone. Please visit the clinic so we can check your current condition together and begin the process step-by-step.
