I have personally experienced the frustration of trying to lose weight through extreme fasting, only to end up feeling exhausted without seeing any real change in weight. Because I understand that struggle, I view TKM acupuncture not as a simple stimulus to specific areas, but as a way to flip your body's 'metabolic switch.' The clinical process generally unfolds as follows: First, we diagnose your constitution and internal state. I carefully check for the presence of 'Dameum' (痰飮), which refers to the accumulation of metabolic waste and phlegm-fluid that hinders circulation. Next, we regulate your systemic metabolism. I apply acupuncture to specific points to resolve 'Eohyeol' (瘀血)—stagnant blood that blocks the flow of Qi and Blood—thereby awakening your body's overall energy. For areas where weight is particularly stubborn, we provide intensive care to release tension and clear circulation blockages. Furthermore, if you suffer from 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), or a deficiency in Spleen function, your metabolism will not increase regardless of effort; therefore, we incorporate treatments to enhance your digestive, absorptive, and transport capabilities. Finally, once the pathways are opened through acupuncture, I provide customized nutritional guidance to maximize efficiency based on your body type. The core objective is to build the 'foundational strength' that allows your body to burn energy on its own. Rather than simply stripping away weight, we focus on optimizing how your body functions. I will provide a more detailed explanation tailored to your condition during your visit.
