Q. I’m in my 40s and work near Beomgye. I’m wondering if weight loss herbal medicine would be right for me and which types of people you usually recommend it to.

A.

We primarily recommend it to three groups: office workers fatigued by overtime and social dinners, individuals sensitive to the palpitations or tremors caused by Western diet pills, and those struggling with stubborn weight gain due to metabolic changes after menopause or childbirth. The prescription is tailored specifically to your state of internal 'stagnation,' such as Blood Stasis (Eohyeol, 瘀血).

📝 Detailed Answer

In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), overeating is not viewed as the sole cause of obesity; the real key is identifying the broken links in your body's circulation. Patients generally fall into three categories. First is Spleen Qi Deficiency (Bi-heo, 脾虛), where the digestive system fails to convert nutrients into energy, turning them into metabolic waste instead. If you feel heavy and swell up even after eating very little, we focus on boosting your 'Qi' to normalize metabolism. Second is the accumulation of Phlegm-fluid (Dam-eum, 痰飮) and Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol, 瘀血), common in stressed office workers with little time to exercise. Think of these as 'sticky moisture' and 'stagnant blood' that block drainage pathways, making the body cold and fat tissues hard. Treatment focuses on clearing these blockages to flush out waste. Finally, for those who experienced side effects like insomnia or heart palpitations from Western treatments like Saxenda or Wegovy, customized herbal medicine offers a gentler alternative. We finely adjust the potency of medicinal herbs based on your individual sensitivity. Since professionals in the Beomgye area are often busy, we offer remote consultations to analyze your constitution and identify the root cause of your weight gain without requiring a frequent in-person visit.
