Q. What is the process for a one-month weight loss program at a Korean medicine clinic?

A.

After a personalized constitution diagnosis, we prescribe customized herbal medicine to boost metabolism and control appetite, adjusting the concentration of medicinal herbs in stages throughout the month.

📝 Detailed Answer

When you first visit, we don't simply prescribe medicine; we start by assessing your current physical condition. For those exhausted by repeated dieting, it is common to suffer from Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo), where weakened digestive functions lead to a drop in metabolic rate.

Rather than simple starvation, we design a one-month schedule focused on removing Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum)—the body's metabolic waste—to increase metabolic efficiency. Because overly aggressive weight loss often leads to extreme fatigue, we recommend a gradual, phased approach.

  • Week 1: Adaptation Phase - We establish the appropriate concentration of herbal ingredients for your body while you adapt to appetite suppression and an increase in basal metabolic rate.
  • Week 2: Acceleration Phase - The discharge of Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol) and waste products becomes more active, making dietary control significantly easier.
  • Week 3: Plateau Management - As the body adapts to its new weight, a plateau may occur; we reinforce the herbal prescription and review your lifestyle habits.
  • Week 4: Stabilization & Maintenance - This final stage focuses on maintaining the lost weight and improving your overall constitution to prevent the yo-yo effect.
💡 Treatment Goal

The core objective is not merely reducing the number on the scale, but restoring metabolic function to create a body capable of self-regulation.
