Q. Is it possible to have a non-face-to-face consultation for weight management at a Korean medicine clinic in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province?

Eligibility for non-face-to-face consultations depends on your location and treatment history. **For initial visits** — an in-person appointment is required. The Korean medicine doctor must perform pulse diagnosis (脈診) and tongue diagnosis (舌診) to identify constitutional factors such as Spleen Deficiency (脾虛) or Phlegm-Fluid (痰飮). Without this step, prescribing accurately is difficult. **For follow-up visits** — progress is monitored through video calls, and prescriptions are adjusted as needed. For example, while taking herbal medicine, we check digestive status, bowel changes, and lifestyle habits (meal timing, sleep patterns). The non-face-to-face process is as follows: 1. Apply via the website or phone. 2. Initial in-person visit (30–60 minutes, at Bundang-gu, Seongnam). 3. Diagnosis of constitution and pattern → herbal prescription (decoction or pills). 4. Follow-up video calls every 1–2 weeks to review progress. 5. Prescription changes or lifestyle advice as needed. From the perspective of Korean medicine, weight management is not merely about losing weight but correcting imbalances such as Spleen Deficiency, Phlegm-Fluid, or Blood Stasis (瘀血). Even via non-face-to-face care, a detailed consultation allows a personalized approach. While specific weight loss figures or comparisons with other methods cannot be provided due to medical regulations, consistent management will help you feel lighter and more balanced. Please feel free to inquire.
