How can I get a non-face-to-face Korean medicine weight loss prescription in Suwon?

1) Make a non-face-to-face consultation reservation via website or phone → 2) Complete a brief questionnaire (eating habits, constitution, past diet experiences, etc.) → 3) Have a video or phone consultation with a Korean medicine doctor (15–20 minutes) → 4) Your prescribed herbal medicine is delivered to your home. The treatment focuses on constitutional factors such as Spleen Qi Deficiency (biheo) or Phlegm-Fluid (dameum). The prescription can also be checked on your mobile phone.
Even though it is a non-face-to-face consultation, the process is not much different from an in-person visit. However, you can consult comfortably at home, which reduces the burden. I also wondered at first, 'Can a diagnosis be properly done through a screen?' But actually, patients tend to be more honest during these sessions. Step 1: Registration and questionnaire After making a reservation via the website or phone, you fill out a simple questionnaire. The key points here are 'past diet failure patterns' and 'current body condition.' For example, if you experienced a yo-yo effect after a Western medicine diet, it is likely due to Spleen Qi Deficiency (脾虛, weakened spleen function). If you feel bloated or have a sensation of phlegm, then Phlegm-Fluid (痰飮) is suspected. Step 2: Non-face-to-face consultation You have a 15–20 minute video or phone consultation with a Korean medicine doctor. It is helpful to have your body composition test results or recent health checkup numbers ready. During the consultation, the doctor typically asks about digestion, whether you have constipation or diarrhea, and sleep quality to understand the overall flow of your body. This is because Korean medicine focuses on systemic metabolic balance rather than localized obesity. Step 3: Prescription and delivery Based on the consultation, a custom herbal medicine is prescribed. For example, if Spleen Qi Deficiency is the main issue, herbs that tonify the spleen (補脾) are added. If Phlegm-Fluid is abundant, herbs that resolve phlegm (利痰) are used. The prescription is sent via text message or app, and the prepared medicine is delivered by courier. Detailed instructions for taking the medicine are on the package, and you can always request a follow-up non-face-to-face consultation if you have any questions. Step 4: Progress check Follow-up consultations are typically conducted every 2–4 weeks. Instead of focusing on weight numbers, we look at subjective changes such as whether appetite is under control or whether the body feels lighter. If necessary, additional questionnaires are used to adjust the prescription. The reason we do not provide specific figures like 'lose X kg per week' is that individual responses vary depending on constitution and lifestyle. Instead, we take the approach of discovering how your body changes together. If you are new to non-face-to-face treatment, you might hesitate, but the process is not complicated, so feel free to inquire without burden.
