Q I have heard a lot about herbal weight-loss medicine, but can you actually lose weight by just taking the medicine without dietary therapy?
A Herbal medicine alone has an effect, but combining dietary management makes the effect 2-3 times faster and helps maintain it without yo-yo. Medicine is a tool to help the body's metabolism, and diet creates the environment where that effect is expressed.
Detailed Answer
Constitutional herbal medicine promotes fat decomposition and fluid metabolism, but if salt and excess calories keep coming in, the effect is halved. When combined with a low-sodium diet and regular meals, the diuretic and metabolic effects of the herbal medicine are fully expressed. Conversely, without the medicine and only dietary control, the initial pace is slow and the maintenance phase is difficult.
