Q Why is detox needed before losing weight?
A When toxins and phlegm-fluid retention have built up in the body, your metabolism will not rise no matter how much you control your diet. Detox first clears the blocked circulation so that constitution-improving herbal medicine and dietary management can then take effect.
Detailed Answer
In Korean medicine, one of the core causes of obesity is phlegm-fluid retention (dameum, metabolic waste) and food stagnation (sikjeok, the accumulation of undigested matter). When these build up, the circulation of qi and blood becomes blocked, metabolism drops, and weight does not come off easily even when you eat less. Clearing this surplus through detox first is what allows the body to start responding.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we see detox not as a preparatory stage for dieting but as the essential first step of treatment. Once the Spleen-Stomach has been reset and constitution-matched herbal medicine is used, even the same prescription is absorbed far better and works faster.
