Q If I get treated with Korean medicine, can I maintain my current weight without medication? Please be honest.
A Honestly, herbal medicine alone does not make weight maintain itself automatically. But if it cushions your appetite and metabolism while you taper the medication and buys time for habits to take hold, you can get much closer to a state where you maintain your weight without medication.
Detailed Answer
Honestly speaking, no treatment protects your weight on its own without lifestyle habits. A body that maintains without medication is ultimately built when diet, muscle mass, sleep, and stress management take hold. But the reality is that if you stop the medication abruptly, appetite rebound overwhelms you before you even have room to keep up those habits. That is why cushioning that period by tapering gradually greatly raises your chances of successful maintenance.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Rather than making exaggerated promises, Dongjedang aims for real change — using pulse diagnosis to find where the imbalance lies and rebuilding the balance of digestion, metabolism, and appetite. The core is having the body take over, with its own regulating power, the appetite that was being held down by medication — and once this direction takes hold, you move closer to a body that maintains itself without medication.
