Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary therapy with Korean herbal medicine and cultivated wild ginseng pharmacopuncture on change of body composition retrospectively. We analyzed the medical records of 26 patients, who carried out dietary therapy with Korean herbal medicine and cultivated wild ginseng pharmacopuncture at Moemfit Clinic, Charmjin Oriental Medicine for 8-12 weeks. And exercise and nutrition were recommended self-developed food, Moemfit Shake, Moemfit Hankki and walking exercise for one hour a day. The body composition values (body weight, body mass index, body fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, waist-hip ratio, visceral fat area, percent body fat) decreased after dietary therapy with Korean herbal medicine and cultivated wild ginseng pharmacopuncture significantly. But, percent skeletal muscle increased significantly. Results from this investigation showed that dietary therapy Korean with herbal medicine and cultivated wild ginseng pharmacopuncture has positive effects on changes of body compositions.
