I understand this process might seem difficult at first, but it's actually quite simple. Start by checking whether the clinic provides non-face-to-face (telemedicine) services. At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic Gangneung branch, remote consultations are available from the initial visit, so you don't need to come in person—unless the doctor determines that pulse diagnosis or abdominal palpation is essential; in that case, we will guide you to a nearby affiliated clinic. To apply, complete a brief intake form via our website or phone. The form covers diet, sleep, bowel movements, and fatigue level. For example, if you report poor digestion and frequent cravings for cold foods, we suspect Spleen Deficiency (biheo); if you have a sticky mouth and frequent coughing, we consider Phlegm-Fluid (dameum). During the video consultation, we discuss these patterns in depth. Details like "I can't sleep at night so I drink several cups of coffee during the day" provide important clues for constitutional diagnosis, including Blood Stasis (eohyeol) or Qi Stagnation (giche). Based on the diagnosis, we prescribe a customized herbal formula. For Spleen Deficiency, we use herbs to tonify the Spleen (bobi); for excess Phlegm-Fluid, we include herbs to transform Phlegm (hwayeom). Although the consultation is remote, we prepare the medicine ourselves and recommend the most suitable form—decoction, pill, or powder—based on your lifestyle. The cost is comparable to in-person visits. Medication management is key: we conduct regular online follow-ups every two weeks to one month to check symptom changes and adjust the prescription if needed. For instance, if you report reduced appetite but bloating, we may modify the formula to promote Phlegm expulsion. With consistent communication, you can achieve effective weight management without traveling to Gangneung. However, please avoid expecting rapid weight loss or viewing this as a simple "slimming pill." Traditional Korean Medicine diet treatment focuses on correcting internal imbalances to help your body naturally return to a healthy weight.
