Abstract
An obese patient was treated with Korean medicine for a short-term period of seven days while under admission care. In this case report, we report the efficacy of a complex treatment comprising various Korean medicine methods by evaluating the differences in obesity-linked factors. The patient lost weight loss and showed decreases in fat mass and various indexes of obesity. Korean medicine could therefore represent a prompt and effective treatment for obese patients.
