How can I get a non-face-to-face diet herbal medicine prescription in Gangseo-gu, Seoul?
First, book a non-face-to-face consultation through our Baekrokdam Hanuiwon website or by phone. During the first week, we assess your constitution and symptoms via video, then prescribe personalized herbal medicine (decoction or pills) delivered to your home. Follow-up occurs every 2–4 weeks to adjust the formula. In the initial 1–2 weeks, your body adapts, and you may feel mild changes. From a Traditional Korean Medicine perspective, this approach supports metabolism by addressing spleen deficiency (pi xu) or phlegm-fluid (tan yin).
I initially wondered if non-face-to-face treatment would work, but many people find it surprisingly convenient. Week 1: After booking via our website or phone, your assigned Korean medicine doctor contacts you for a ~20-minute video consultation. They thoroughly ask about your eating patterns, digestion, energy, sleep, and stool, and from a TKM perspective determine whether you have spleen deficiency (pi xu)—a condition where the spleen's function is weak, causing low energy and easy bloating—phlegm-fluid (tan yin), or blood stasis (yu xue). Based on this, a personalized herbal formula is prepared as a decoction or pill and shipped to your home. Week 2: When you start taking it, the first 3–5 days are an adjustment period. I experienced it myself: digestion may improve or you might get a mild headache, but it usually stabilizes within a week. Week 4: Around this first follow-up point, most patients report changes in condition rather than weight—reduced bloating, less appetite, and less fatigue. Herbal medicine works by gradually shifting metabolism over 1–2 months of consistent use, so there’s no need to rush. Although an initial non-face-to-face consultation is possible, we may recommend an in-person visit if needed. Due to medical regulations, we cannot provide exact weight loss figures, but the herbs support your body in finding balance.
