Oriental medicine diet! Herbal medicine?

Actually, I'm someone who can't tolerate taking medicine, so a one-shot diet is really... difficult.

But I heard there are also ones made with pills. Would the bitterness be less then?

I have a feeling that herbal medicine might be less harsh on the body than Western medicine.

As I get older, dieting only makes my face lose fat, which is upsetting.

Is it possible to target areas like the upper arm or belly fat by combining herbal medicine and acupuncture?
