Many people have tried 'starvation diets' only to end up dizzy and surrendering to late-night cravings. Weight gain occurs for various reasons, so taking a one-size-fits-all supplement can harm your health. At Baekrokdam, we tailor prescriptions based on three Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) diagnostic categories. First is 'Spleen Deficiency' (Bi-heo). This refers to a state where the spleen's digestive function is weakened, failing to convert nutrients into energy and instead storing them as fat. In this case, starving is counterproductive; you need a prescription that supplements vital energy (Qi) to increase your metabolic rate. Second is 'Phlegm-Fluid' (Dam-eum) retention. If you experience significant swelling (edema) or your body feels heavy like waterlogged cotton, internal waste is likely obstructing your circulation. Flushing out these toxins is essential for feeling lighter and achieving actual fat loss. Finally, for those who eat due to stress or have poor circulation, 'Blood Stasis' (Eo-hyeol) or Qi stagnation may be the culprit. By combining treatments that stabilize the mind and improve blood flow, food cravings will naturally subside without the need for extreme willpower. Understanding whether your body suffers from deficiency or accumulation is the first step toward a healthy, sustainable goal weight. Rather than struggling alone, let us find the root cause together.
