Q. Doctor, which herbal diet medicine should I choose? I'm curious about the best approach recommended for my specific body type.

I have personally experienced the frustration of aggressive fasting, which led to dizziness and a sharp decline in productivity. Because I understand these struggles, my priority is not just rapid weight loss, but ensuring your body is in a state capable of handling the process. If you fatigue easily and frequently feel bloated after meals, you likely have 'Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo),' where the Spleen's function is too weak to produce energy efficiently. For these patients, a formula that gradually boosts metabolism is more effective than a potent stimulant. On the other hand, if you experience significant swelling and notice teeth marks (scalloped edges) on the sides of your tongue, this indicates the accumulation of 'Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum).' In this case, a prescription designed to rapidly drain stagnant fluids and metabolic waste is far more efficient. For those who feel heat rising to the upper body and chest tightness due to stress, there is often a combination of 'Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol)' and blocked Qi flow. Here, I incorporate medicinal herbs that calm the mind and promote systemic circulation. The key is identifying exactly where your body's imbalance lies. Even through a remote consultation, a thorough medical history review allows us to find the right path for you. Please don't feel rushed; let's work together to find the perfect balance for your body.
