Remote Prescription Process
Remote Prescription Process

Q. I'd like to know the process for getting a non-face-to-face weight loss prescription from a Korean medicine clinic in Gwanggyo.

A.

It starts with an online consultation. You fill out a health questionnaire about your lifestyle, constitution, and past diet history, which we analyze for patterns like Spleen Deficiency (biheo) or Phlegm-Fluid Retention (dameum). Based on that, we prescribe herbal medicine and send it to your home. After 1–2 weeks, we check for changes. The first week is an adjustment period—you may feel bloating decrease or digestion ease. From week two, metabolic shifts begin, and after about a month, a follow-up adjusts the prescription.

📝 Detailed Answer

If you're wondering 'how do I get the medicine?' with a remote service, I felt the same at first. The process is simpler than you think. First, book an initial appointment via our website or phone, and we'll send you a detailed health questionnaire. Please carefully fill in your eating habits, sleep, stress level, and any past diet medication history—especially if you've tried Wegovy or Saxenda, let us know how your stomach felt and appetite changed afterward. Based on your answers, we perform a Korean medical pattern diagnosis. For example, 'Spleen Deficiency' means weak digestive function leading to poor digestion and easy bloating; 'Phlegm-Fluid Retention' means excess moisture and waste buildup that hinders weight loss. If Blood Stasis (eohyeol) is mixed in, blood circulation is also sluggish. We then prepare a customized herbal formula and ship it to you, usually in two-week increments, with simple instructions. During the first week of taking it, your body adapts—you might feel mild fatigue or more frequent bathroom visits, which is a sign of waste elimination. By the second week, many people notice easier digestion or reduced facial puffiness. After about a month of consistent use, we do a video or phone follow-up to adjust the prescription based on your condition. At this stage, focus on changes like 'my stomach feels more comfortable' or 'my appetite is under control' rather than just the number of kilograms lost—it's better for long-term results. Even though it's remote, we provide one-on-one chat support for any questions along the way, so feel free to reach out.
