About Dieting Herbal Medicine

“At our clinic, we prescribe two types of diet herbal medicine: Bofutsushosan and Bojiyogito.

We will briefly introduce the characteristics of each medicine.

 

Bofutsushosan

Bofutsushosan increases metabolism, breaks down and burns excess fat, and reduces subcutaneous fat around the stomach. It also improves bowel movements and is effective against constipation and swelling associated with obesity.

It is necessary to continue taking it for 2 weeks to 1 month before you can feel the effects, and since it is not an immediate effect, you will not feel the effects immediately after taking it.

The mechanism by which Bofutsushosan helps you lose weight is as follows.

・Activates fat cells, burns and breaks down abdominal fat

・Suppresses the absorption of lipids from food

・Promotes bowel movements and excretes lipids from the body along with feces

Therefore, Bofutsushosan is a Chinese herbal medicine suitable for people with weak metabolism who tend to accumulate food as fat.

 

Bohiohgito
Bohiohgito is a Chinese herbal medicine that enhances gastrointestinal function and improves water metabolism to remove excess water from the body, and is intended for people who are obese, sweat a lot, and get tired easily. It contains six types of herbs.
