Q. What is the typical process for weight loss treatment at a TKM clinic? I'd like to know the specific methods used.

Weight loss is a challenging journey; many experience extreme fatigue and the 'yo-yo effect' when relying solely on starvation. At our clinic, we focus on creating a 'metabolic state where the body burns efficiently' rather than forced fasting. The detailed process is as follows: 1. Constitutional Analysis and Root Cause Identification: We first assess your current physiological state. For example, we determine if you are suffering from 'Spleen Deficiency' (Bi-heo, 脾虛), where weakened digestive functions lead to poor absorption and low energy, or if your body is simply burdened by accumulated waste. 2. Customized Herbal Prescription: Based on the analysis, we prescribe herbal medicine designed to clear 'Phlegm-Fluid' (Dameum, 痰飮—unnecessary metabolic waste) and resolve 'Blood Stasis' (Eohyeol, 瘀血—stagnant blood). By improving blood circulation and metabolism, your body can utilize energy more efficiently. 3. Lifestyle and Dietary Guidance: We do not impose rigid, restrictive diets. Instead, we identify and avoid foods that act as 'toxins' specifically for your constitution. This sustainable approach is key to preventing the yo-yo effect. 4. Periodic Monitoring: Since every individual responds differently, we continuously fine-tune the potency of the herbal medicine and adjust dietary plans to find the optimal balance for your body. While the cost of herbal medicine may seem like a burden, please view it as a process of 'restarting the broken switches' of your metabolism. We invite you to visit us comfortably so we can find the best solution together.
