Yes. Cupping on the abdomen and back improves local circulation and helps clear stagnation, which supports reduction of swelling and abdominal slimming.

Herbal formulas for weight management mainly help regulate appetite so portions are easier to control. They also raise basal metabolic rate to keep metabolism running smoothly. Finally, they help limit muscle loss so that weight comes off as fat, which reduces rebound.

When the pelvis and spine fall out of alignment, lymphatic flow and metabolism slow down and weight comes off less easily. Correcting body alignment with Chuna therapy improves metabolic efficiency and supports weight loss.

Korean medicine procedures such as acupuncture and cupping are covered by health insurance. Herbal formulas for weight management are not covered, and the cost depends on the prescription and duration. We explain the exact cost after a constitutional assessment.

With weight loss, doing it well matters more than doing it fast. Wanting quick results is natural, but losing weight too rapidly for the body to handle brings muscle loss, a lower basal metabolic rate and rebound.

A body shape where fat concentrates on the abdomen alone. We do not treat it as a matter of calories only, but look at constitution, liver and digestive function, sleep patterns, and drinking and late-night eating habits together.

Fat concentrated in the thighs, buttocks and calves while the upper body stays average. Body fat, swelling and circulation are often mixed, so we first determine which dominates.

Fat that accumulates on the arms, back, neck and shoulders. Posture and shoulder tension often accompany it, so we assess body alignment as well.

A high body mass index with accompanying metabolic risk. Rather than weight loss alone, we monitor blood pressure, blood sugar and liver function and proceed at a safe pace.

Weight and body changes that remain after childbirth. We first assess breastfeeding and recovery status, and exclude herbs that are contraindicated during breastfeeding.

Body weight is within the normal range but body fat is high and muscle mass low. Weight alone can miss this, so we assess it through body composition.

Weight returning after loss. Repeated fasting often leaves muscle mass reduced, so we design the maintenance phase before the losing phase.
