📝 Detailed Answer
I personally remember my younger days when I tried starving myself out of sheer ambition, only to end up feeling dizzy and exhausted. I've been through the trial and error myself, so I truly understand that weight loss is not simply a matter of willpower.
I recommend our telehealth prescriptions for those in the following situations:
First, for those with weak digestive functions who fatigue easily. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), this is referred to as Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo, 脾虛). When the function of the Spleen is weakened, metabolic capacity drops, making the body more prone to gaining weight. In such cases, prescriptions to boost vital energy are prioritized over simply reducing food intake.
Second, for those who feel heaviness in the body, suffer from severe swelling, and have poor circulation. When 'Dam-eum' (phlegm-fluid retention, 痰飮) or 'Eo-hyeol' (blood stasis, 瘀血) accumulates in the body, metabolism inevitably slows down. In these instances, we focus on clearing these obstructions to restore smooth flow.
Finally, for those suffering from poor physical condition or the 'yo-yo effect' after using pharmaceutical weight-loss drugs. Because the body's internal balance has already been disrupted, improving the overall constitution is more important than aggressive weight reduction.
Ultimately, the answer lies in accurately identifying the current state of your body. Even through a remote consultation, we will provide a detailed medical inquiry to analyze your condition and propose a customized prescription perfectly suited to your needs.
