I live in Seongnam. Can I receive remote diet consultation at Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic?
Yes, it is possible. However, if it's your first visit, you need to come in for a pulse diagnosis (脈診). Conditions like spleen deficiency (脾虛) or phlegm-fluid (痰飮) require direct examination. If you have a treatment record at our clinic, subsequent consultations and prescriptions can be done remotely. Since you live in Seongnam, you are close by, so it would be good to visit once for consultation.
Remote diet consultation at a Korean Medicine clinic is often possible, but not for first-time patients. In Traditional Korean Medicine, accurate diagnosis of constitution and organ function relies on direct examinations such as tongue diagnosis (舌診), pulse diagnosis (脈診), and abdominal diagnosis (腹診). Conditions like spleen deficiency (脾虛) causing poor metabolism or blood stasis (瘀血) slowing circulation are not visible externally and require careful assessment. Therefore, at Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, the first consultation must be in-person. During this visit, we comprehensively evaluate your pulse, tongue, and abdomen to establish a treatment plan. Afterward, we can monitor progress and adjust prescriptions via phone or video calls based on scheduled follow-ups, along with lifestyle management tips. Due to medical law restrictions on telemedicine, we operate within legal boundaries. We do not make exaggerated claims but focus on constitutional improvement and consistent management. Please feel free to inquire if you have further questions.
