I'm curious about how to get a weight loss consultation at a non-face-to-face Korean medicine clinic in Gumi.
To receive a non-face-to-face weight loss consultation at Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, first schedule an appointment by phone or KakaoTalk. After filling out a health questionnaire without visiting the clinic, the Korean medicine doctor will assess your constitution and symptoms, then prescribe through video or phone call. The herbal medicine is delivered to your home, so you can conveniently start treatment in Gumi.
The non-face-to-face weight loss consultation at Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic proceeds through five main steps. First, make an appointment by phone or KakaoTalk—simply say, 'I'd like a weight loss consultation; is a non-face-to-face option available?' Second, fill out a detailed health questionnaire including current symptoms, weight change history, existing health issues, and medications. This questionnaire serves as the starting point for the doctor to identify your constitution (body type and organ energy flow). Third, the non-face-to-face consultation takes place via video call or regular phone, during which the doctor reviews the questionnaire and performs constitutional diagnosis by assessing your pulse, tongue, etc. This may reveal conditions such as Spleen Deficiency (biheo, 脾虛), where digestive function is weakened and metabolism slowed, or Phlegm-Fluid (dameum, 痰飮), where accumulated dampness in the body leads to easy weight gain. Fourth, after confirming no issues like Blood Stasis (eohyeol, 瘀血) or other abnormalities, the doctor prescribes herbal medicine tailored to your constitution and arranges delivery. Fifth, after the herbal medicine is shipped, you receive guidance on how to take it—either by decoction or in mini-bag form—according to your lifestyle. Initially, one dose per day is often recommended, gradually increasing as your body adapts. Subsequently, follow-up consultations are conducted every 2–4 weeks to monitor progress and adjust the herbal prescription, supporting your weight loss journey.
